50mb of what?

space - it can depend on different things such as the forum, the length of posts, how often people post, etc.
data transfer - it can depends on the number of views and the amount of images.

look at my forum(http://turkpunk.com/) the db is exactly 50 mb right now

How can 9314 posts take up 50mb?

My board: http://forums.boajjang.com/
Has 82901 and the Database is only 35.8mb right now.

well phpBB takes more space then IPB.. and i think one of them (can't remember which) holds template info on the database so if you have multiple skins, it will use up more.

phpBB takes up more space than IPB? That's interesting... I was under the impression that posts (which should be the bulk of any database) would take up a similar amount of space no matter what software it used since its just text. Anyway, Invision Board stores its template info in the database (I have about 800kb worth of template stuff in my DB), and it's still smaller than phpBB... Very impressive.
