Pretty big.

Not comparatively. In database terms it's probably quite small.

My God! Thats crazy! How many hard drives does it take to store such a huge db?

Over 9000 (/b/kb/mb/gb/tb/yb)

You Decide really

Do OCUK outsource the storage for the site? in terms of databases?

Do OCUK outsource the storage for the site? in terms of databases?

Why? storage is particularly cheap. It's the bandwidth that will cause the issues. Although I suspect that OCuK don't host themselves, it's generally more cost effective to get external hosting.

It's the length of two long weights.

About 7 inches.

over 9000

Actually once you are used to this site you can spend all of 5 minutes each day reading a decent thread, the rest is chaff.

Its the size of a medium sized Alpaca

Seven hundred and sixty three billion two hundred and five million eight hundred and fifty four thousand one hundred and seventy two point four six.

 

[Xellos]

Probably not too big, if they allowed attachments i would assume it would be huge.
