So as I build my site I keep finding modules I like and add them.

My question is how many modules should I draw the line at? I have a bunch that I've added, but then disabled them. Is it better to remove them completely?

Thanks.

The only problem I've ever run into with too many modules is that PHP has a memory limit.

Generally for good housekeeping purposes, I'd say if you're not going to use a module it's better to remove it from the list. Plus, the more modules you have, the more bandwidth and time you use just looking at the module page (though in the grand scheme of things, it's most likely a drop of water in the ocean).

Delete modules you don't plan on using.

Different modules use different amounts and types of server resources, so it's hard to put a number on how many is too-many. One thing to keep in mind is that every module you are using is a candidate for a future security update you'll have to deal with.
