^ Huh?
It's a vB bug. Anything in the 800+ post range in the active post range means large queries when viewing the thread. Its better for the server if you start a new thread and have the activity there. The Somethingawful forums ran into this problem often due to sheer posting volume. They have a policy of locking threads at around 800 posts and starting a "part 2" thread to continue discussion. It's just a good preventative maintenance measure.
A few larger forums have come up with fixes, but Jelsoft will threaten to sue you if you fix their code
