It depends more on how often the members are clicking things and drawing resources from the database.I fixed the issue of the max_questions by adding some more database users to spread the load, so on that end there shouldn't be an issue. If it happens again I can add a few more users.The only problem I see happening is with the bandwidth. I supposedly have unrestricted bandwidth for my hosting package, but there's this undefined line in the sand called "normal use" that they can get you with if you cross it and start "affecting other users on the server." File sharing sites and the like usually get hit with this, but there's no mention of internet forums.So... it's possible that we could get throttled down, but I am not sure how likely it is. If it does happen, we may have to jump hosts or consider some serious bandwidth-saving options.

Because it, I believe had a file-sharing system. Could be wrong, though.
