Why exactly do threads have a cap on their size?

For example: http://www.boards.ie/vbulletin/showpost.php?p=88740341&postcount=9798 I'm just curious about the technical reason for this. What kind of DB are you using to store threads etc. ?

It's not just the database (which is MySQL), it's how VBulletin processes the data within a large thread (badly when it hits a certain point).
