Everything2 is much bigger than
Everything could ever hope to be.
There are now somewhere in the neighborhood of 520,000
records (nodes + writeups). Many of these are probably still less than 512 bytes total, and most are probably under 2KB, but a small fraction of them are much larger. Apparently writeups can go up to about 30KB;
nodes only store titles, links to their writeups, and
their softlinks but assuming 4 bytes per link, this can
reach 5KB for a node with a long title, lots of writeups,
and the limit of 100 softlinks; more, if more information
is stored about softlinks. I guessing these long records
bring the average to somewhere near 2KB, for a total of
1 GB to store Everything.
