First of all, RAM != HDD space. Secondly, a MB can hold thousands of bans.
1 mb could probably hold TENS or HUNDREDS of thousands of bans.

Let's not go too far here.

1MB = 1024kB = 1048576B.
The example ban

Nullable   23618   Jack Noir   29019   109.165.21.54   thanks   -1   -1
has 58 characters (note that this depends on things like banner and banned name/blid, banned ip, ban message and ban length) and, since Blockland uses latin1/Windows-1252 one character = one byte.
This means that I could ban 18078 Jack Noir/Crystalwarrior about 18078 times while still having my banlist fit within 1MB. Note that this number is probably incorrect in your case, since A) the ban message is rather short, B) JN/C has a pretty long IP, C) morons tend to have longer names and D) non-permanent bans take more space. However, all in all, this is unlikely to matter in the long run.

In short, a 1tb HDD could hold around 1024x1024x18078 bans.

Now stop dumping this drama.


With that amount of bans calculator says that i could hold 18,956,156,928 bans.
wow. that's more people than you can ban
