Is there a topic post limit?

Is there a hard limit for the number of posts in a single topic? I couldn’t find any information about a ceiling for this, but wanted to be sure before I write a script that will insert about 20,000 posts (ingesting messages from a very long chat log) into a single topic, which will continue to grow larger over time.

By default the setting auto close topics post count is set to 10k. I recommend keeping stuff below this number, you can break into a new topic every N (where N ~ 1k) and link between posts.

Usually a date range is helpful here in the topic title like

NFL teams chat 2015

or

Arsenal is the best! Nov 2015

or

Gardening progress, Spring 2013

And of course you can use categories or tags (or just a common identical topic title minus dates) to tie them together.
