TalkPHP - View Single Post - what kind of data can go into a mysql database?

If I had 10,000 2k images/files, I'd probably store them in the DB. If I 1000 100k files, I'd probably put them on the filesystem.

As for the vBulletin thing, vB has support for storing attachments, sig pics, profile pics, avatars and thumbnails in the database using Blob columns.
