Most UK ISPs seem to charge£10 per Gig for a co-located server...
US ones seem a bit cheaper, but still lots of money.
Rob - where is the biggest hit coming from? Looking at the code for the board, each post carries a 700byte overhead with all that repeated JavaScript... just moving that to a function would save a lot of bytes.

if every regular on this boardcould host a viral swf each, then could that help to halve b3ta's bandwidth without impacting too much on everyone elses?
I have two hosts so I can take 2 big files if that would help.

Or move the javascript out into randomly selected files from different hosts.Difficult to maintain, heath-robinson load-balancing approach to it, but hey - it's an idea.
