Big Forums = Big Bandwidth?

Anyone know how much bandwidth (network transfer) the average forum gobbles up each month.

Or a forum with around 10,000 members.

Forums such as: Talkfreelance

and Name Pro's

Thanks!

You cannot judge the bandwidth of forum like that.You dont know how much resources your site is using of the server. But in case of 10,000 members on board 500GB bandwidth is sufficient I guess. Again it depends on how many members are online at a time.
