All the 20 MB are mostly text - No binaries i suppose(except for Avatars etc). That' s really great Very Happy

The avatars are "only" 879.48 KB... Wink

Btw. the size FreezingFire is talking about is only the size of the database. VDSWORLD itself is even bigger... Wink

Vdsworld is: 199.5 MB that includes all files, posts, etc.

Not to mention the thousands of hits it receives daily, and it attracts
hundreds of unique visitors daily!

all those hits that vds world gets...are they from vds programmers or from visitors? this is a loaded question because i have an idea in mind

I don't think we can say that, because we can't assign developers to their IP address. One thing I can say is that the main site of VDSWORLD has more hits then these forums, so most of them will be visitors...

But for sure, we do get hundreds of unique visitors daily. I saw that in the
statistics. It's called "sessions". Smile

Yes each session is a unique IP per day.

here's my idea...not an original one but expanding on one i saw at another site

what about having a section of vdsworld where people in need of programs to be written can specify what they need and vds programmers can bid for the project with the people deciding which bid they will choose

it would be a nice way to make some extra money as long as it is not always the same people who always outbid everyone else

perhaps a minimum of 1 week per listed project would be good too so that we can all have a look at the projects listed, think about it and decide what our bid will be...or if we are interested

what i mean by bid is "i will write the code for the program for US$50" while someone else can bid to write the program for US$40 and the person who wants the program can decide who will get the project and pay the bid money when the project is done

also, all the programs that are bidded (spelling?) on must be written in vds and not delphi or visualbasic or c+... to make it fair to the rest of us and to respect that this is a vds site

what think ye?

You might also want to allow a programmer rating also, so the client can
rate the programmer who did the work for them. This may also help a
future client select which bid by programmer rating also. If a programmer
keeps getting bad ratings, then future potential clients know that they
take a risk using that programmer, even if he/she is a lower bid.

I think it's a good idea to try out as long as it wouldn't be a complete pain to put into the site.
I think the past tense of bid is bid? Yesterday I bid on it twice? Smile
