Currently running 3.3.10 It is a motorcycle forum with @ 17,000 members. LOTs of pics (20,000 plus) and how too's etc etc. Problem is that the 30 plus FB pages for the same bikes has really crippled the traffic. My forum is now more of a reference for it's knowledge base.

In 09 I had to upgrade to a VPS to keep up with the bandwidth. Now I am facing the opposite issue. I am paying a lot for a big strong server that sees 3 or 4 users at a time. I feel like I am throwing away money.

How can I determine if I can realistically scale back down to a shared hosting server? Is there a magic metric or some standard that I can use to justify one way or another? I did not set up my site and moving it would be a MAJOR deal for me but if I can cut costs by a half or more than I would undertake it.
