There are some threads where there are literally 2,000 posts. Who the hell is going to rummage through all that to find the answers they need when they're most likely going to make a new thread?

I say there should be thread limits. 500 posts per threads. That's either 10 pages of 50 posts or 10 posts with 50 pages whatever it is you like. I think that would be better than the current system we have now.
