How much traffic do these forums use?

Wasn't sure where to shove this message, this seemed somewhat appropriate.

I was just wondering how much traffic these forums use? A friend and I were considering setting up some forums, and although I doubt they'll get as popular as these, you never know ;)

I just wanted to know around how much transfer you guys do each month so we should know what to shoot for (on the high end) when signing up for hosting.

Thanks!

Active forums will use up more bandwidth then regular sites with just html pages. If you're starting out, 5GB/mo to 10GB/mo of bandwidth is plenty.

Oh, that's not too bad. For some reason I thought it would be a lot more. Thanks!

Now we just have to figure out which software to use ;)
