The main limits are
- Disk space (all the posts in the archive are around 50 MB, IIRC)
- The machine integer (since every post needs a unique ID). This is either 231-1 or 263-1, both of which are really huge numbers. (I'd have to look up how big the post IDs are)
- The place I'm hosting now (because it's free) has a 10k database row limit, which is pretty low. If we put the Board somewhere less annoying, this won't apply.

Also, the awkward spreadsheets are just one representation of the archives. Their canonical form is a not very human readable data dump that's meant to be imported into a T-Board installation. (The T-Board code has scripts for creating these dumps, importing them, and making .csv files out of them)
