Forum Bandwidth.

Hi guys, there is something i just noticed.
Our forums have just reached the 100'000 post milestone and we now have at least 50 users online most of the time. While seeing this community grow is nice, there is something that bothers me - there was a time, when forums experienced downtime. Trying to browse them would yield 404 error and it was not until Ben posted on Twitter "Forums are experiencing some downtime, the bandwidth is exceeded.(not a quote, but close)", that we understood what is the matter.

Since the community seems to be only growing this makes me wonder - what will happen further down the track? Will we get massive forum downtime or will Ben have to select a different hosting plan?
And also, what are the current bandwidth limits and what is the demand/usage?

If any <@> members see this, it would be nice if you could pass the question to someone who could answer them.

Apparently Thalagyrt has a solution for Ben but he refuses to take his advice.
