Disk Usage Limit

I have a question about disk usage limit. I read that IF doesn't restrict the boards in terms of bandwidth and board members but disk usage is something else, right? I see right now the usage on my board is at 20%. I disabled file uploads in posts, so the only thing that is being uploaded right now are avatars and emoticons (those are set). But the disk usage is growing and I am wondering what exactly affects it and if there is a way to prevent it. What happens when you reach all 16mb of disk usage?

Thank you for your help!

A member can host their avatar on the board and that will increase the amount of disk space used for each image uploaded to the board when they choose their avatar. Once you run out of space then no more uploads of any kind can be done unless you delete something or pay money to increase the amount of upload space you can get.

Disk usage only affects files like images and emotes and stuff like that. it had nothing to do with how many members you have on the board.

Blue said the right thing, your new members upload avatar's which use disk space. You can set the Max Size they upload (Example like max upload size only 25 KB), the best for Avatar's is 25 KB and 100x100 size. Your disk space doesn't run out coz of the number of members you have so don't worry about that. Emoticons once upload don't need extra disk space so that is out to, the only way the disk space is used is by uploading of avatar's that's it.
