1000 kilobytes = 1 megabyte
1000 megabytes = 1 gigabyte
1000 gigabytes = 1 terabyte

(Therefore you get 500 characters in one kilobyte, and a typical web page is about 50 kilobytes, plus graphics).

...you work in IT marketting?
: P

1 bit = a single digit number in base 2 (0 or 1)
1 byte = 8 bits
1 kilobyte = 1024 bytes
1 megabyte = 1024 kilobytes
1 gigabyte = 1024 megabytes
1 terabyte = 1024 gigabytes
1 petabyte = 1024 terabytes

....and so on

But to answer the original post, each post uses bugger all data. The post text itself would only be < 1% of the total data transferred each time you view a thread. The code that is wrapped around the text for display purposes and the images make up a hell of a lot more data.

well in english not enough to worry about EVER .. 95% of the bandwidth is jpg / gif / bmp

So all the post on here account for less than 5% of 20 GB

If you see "Lots"... that was me. Don't worry, they're not gone.

I'll restore it back when people stop posting non-VW stuff just to get more post counts.

And all we were doing was chating about was valla our lives cars ect and "haveing a laugh " i realy dont give a sh@%^ about more posts . Its just something els 2 talk about and have a joke about. Its hard 2 get 2 know people on here cos some of us live so far a way i feel this kind of chat is a good ice brake r this is my 2c worth

Why can't you get into the chatroom? There's more than one method of getting on...

Andrew is there a way a group of people can have a chat over a couple of days. I fined that not every one is on at the same time but you still like to keep up with what’s going on. Ok the thread that I think has started this was a small group talking about different thing mostly VW things but its good to share with people of interest. I’m sure the people involved including myself would be happy not to have a post count on this but I think it makes the whole VW experience better.:thumb

"Test it out here" is probably your best forum for such a thread.

Threads in there get deleted regularly, though.
