There is also another posibility apart from mere disk space. If you look at the URL for this topic you'll see
?ubb=get_topic;f=34;t=000957
This is the variables the GET function process when it generates a HTML corresponding to the browser request. Basically you ask it to get topic number 957 in forum 34. Evidently this forum can handle 100 seperate boards with 1000000 topics each. A lot of posting to run out. However had it been
?ubb=get_topic;f=34;t=957
we would be 43 entries short of running out.
