If each thread is only 1000 megabyte in size including photos (most are a lot bigger)
Ummm, 1000 MB is roughly 1GB. I highly highly doubt each thread is 1GB in size. Also 1M * 1GB is more than a terabyte -- that'd be a petabyte. Still, even if you include photos, I doubt many threads are bigger than a few MB. If there are no photos, the threads are tiny, relatively speaking.

My Mistake, I meant 1000k, or 1 Megabyte, With photos people alwasy toss in into the threads, they can be easily 1mb in size. 1mb times over 1 million treads equal 1 terabyte.
I think 1 million may be a fabrication after looking at it again. There are 256 pages of topics, with 10 topics a page, that's only 2,560 topics. Maybe threads really means Posts? Hmmm that's still 390 posts per topic, a little high.

The vast majority of those threads were robot-generated threads about specific property. I should probably exclude those somehow. On the list.
See all 1,059,685 threads...
A million threads? If each thread is only 1000 megabyte in size including photos (most are a lot bigger), Patrick would have to have a 1 terabyte drive at the very least. That the hell are all you people talking about anyway?
