I doubt a BBS will really do enough card access to be much of a
problem. It took about 6 weeks for a Pi being run as a HD time lapse
camera to put an 8 GB micro SDCard into read-only mode. That took a
(2 MB ish) still picture every 30 seconds (2880/day), if it wasn't
dark, overlaid date/time etc information. Every 6 hours these still
frames would be rendered into a previous 24 hrs timelapse video with
a roughly 2 min duration. The 8 GB card could hold about 3 days worth
of still images and videos before old stuff had to be deleted to make
way for new. Took about the same amount of time to kill a USB stick
used as the image/video store...
