Damn, someone already beat me to the "series of tubes" joke.

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.
I don't think this is as big of a deal as you think. All forums "change" as they grow in size- I'd be more concerned with an influx of idiots, freepers, /b/tards, etc. IOW, the quality as opposed to the quantity.

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)
This should all be applied anyway.
