Data Transfer 5000 MB 20000 MB 30000 MB 50000 MB
It stores its data in the database. And you won't hit your transferlimits unless you have a lot of users. I don't really know for sure, but I have 30,000 page views per month, and it handles things fine.

I think I use around 12 MB of storage when it goes crazy :) (As crazy as it gets with 150 members..)
As for the Mysql goes, it stores on Database and creates tables & wont be effected by data transfer either unless u have a huge community ... for starters you have a decent pack... under that .... but your MySql disk space is just 25Mb ? .... thats really too less buddy.... you need to look around the web for better services... mine is unlimited as well ... and if asked about disc space... its around 25Gb ...
How can you store 25GB of text on a forum? I'd like to know how much SQL space and traffic this forum uses actually.
Heki, an out of the box installation will use about 1 meg of space. The more your forum grows, the larger the DB gets. And yes, I do have SMF DB's that are nearing 2 gigs.

And those forums are over 2 million posts.

And also contain content for the main site, as well.

Just not posts but all the data of the site dear ;D ...

Okay, if you want to focus strictly on the forums...
my _log_topics DB is 220.8 Mb
my _messages DB is 1.3 Gb
my _personal_messages DB is 83.9 Mb
my _topics DB is 18.6 Mb
My non Forums related stuff (Content for the main site) totals less than 20 megs, which is impressive, considering that I have every football game in one table, dating back to the 1894 school year (not a typo). Everything else is forum related.
