There is a maximum upload size to prevent griefing / crashing the server, it defaults to 2 megabytes. You can change that on your install to whatever you want via the site settings.

Otherwise I could just access your Discourse, upload a very large 1 gigabyte image (or a couple of them) and destroy it..
