"Thread too large - VB doesn't like huge threads"
That's false.

That's just the first example, I can find you more, if you want them. Starting right here on this very forum. Try checking ATOT further, or go visit VC&G, or...
Load times here are still pushing 10-12 seconds, which is what its been doing for the past couple of days. It does this every so often, then the whole forum crashes, some people see database error messages, the server operators lock the neffing thread (which isn't even the longest thread on the forum), and everything is still slow after. Normally, I'd say correlation does not equal causation, but you don't even have a valid correlation here.
We ran a thread into the 90k range, with the forum going up and down, just like it has ever since the FuseTalk to VBulletin conversion. The thread took a linear path upwards in post count, while the forum followed a wave pattern (think sine wave or something) of slowdowns and crashes - but somehow, it's concluded the large thread is the problem. 90k versus 6k; that's not even remotely close, so you're also telling us the forum is degrading significantly.
In fact, I've never seen a VBulletin forum have this many problems with the exception of XtremeSystems - and that was run out of someone's home, cared for by a single person. Now, this forum software clearly isn't perfect, but there's a lot more wrong here than just VBulletin and some "large" threads.
