Question So many people, will this forum clog?

People seem to have flooded here, how do we keep the forum from clogging? It would seem like a snowball effect to me, many posts means that people wont be able to read them all well, causing duplicate posts, making the main points even harder to find.
Ofcourse we could just post less, but there has to be some posting, since it is a discussion forum, not a reading one. The following can help.
-Keep posts brief, without sacrificing data.
-Try read earlier posts well as much reasonable.
-If the message is to a specific person, use private messages. Perhaps some of those private messages should be public, but directed? (hmm i may have voilated this one)
Also, an idea is to try use paralel wikis on what has been covered from all sides, but i am not at all sure that would work. Risk of writing and deletion-wars, but may also increase clarity, and be worth a try.
