Is that really necessary?
With absolutely no limit, one could have a TB sized comment and it would cripple the site.
Technical considerations are reasonable, and not something I have really considered seriously.
especially because mods are not always on and when things really get going will not be privy to comments within posts without being notified in most circumstances.
I was just starting to think you don't want to rely completely on moderators, so I'm coming around to the idea. I guess if you wanted something monster-sized (as I was thinking earlier), a new post or even a link to a google doc or something would be better.
Sorry for the trouble, I should've thought a little more before opening my mouth. In before I'm the new KevDude :p

Limiting it to a few pages should never inhibit someone from writing what they want it a single comment, but there should also be a limit to prevent abuse, especially because mods are not always on and when things really get going will not be privy to comments within posts without being notified in most circumstances.
