If we assume that Fluther is allotted 1 TB of storage, then given its historically averaged rate of usage, it would take over 2,000 years to reach that limit.

In terms of the storage capacity of this server and a reasonable estimate of Fluther’s life expectancy, there is virtually no limit to the amount of text it can store for Fluther.
Even though the amount of storage is a finite number, it’s probably a lot more than Fluther will ever use.
Even though Fluther has almost 230,000 threads, the memory usage for that is about 7 GB.
It took Fluther about 15 years to use that much memory.
The storage capacity of my PC is 232 GB, so even it could store almost 500 years of Fluther threads.
