I've never seen this problem on Forum, but I suppose it is a minor advantage. When a thread gets that big, it usually means the thread got out of control and is not being moderated.

No admin who has any experience cares about Special:WikiActivity. I almost never look at it.

I'm afraid that's untrue. I'm an experienced admin, and I still care about Special:WikiActivity, though I do care about Special:RecentChanges as much. I just find WikiActivity easier to navigate to.

Also what you said about the forums getting out of control and not being moderated is not always true either, because some communities like to use forums to play simple games, like counting to a number before a user in a specific user-group posts.

Those sorts of games built up in posts quite quickly, so naturally, if it doesn't dry up, it will reach 500 posts sooner or later. Doesn't mean it's not attended.
