The Case of The Mystery Thread

We seem to have a problem with a thread...
More Specifically the World Cup Discussion Thread (http://forums.jolt.co.uk/showthread.php?t=293066&page=743)
We are getting a "Database Error" and it's the only thread that is doing it. Is the thread too long, if so could the mods perhaps delete a few thousands posts. Or are we going to have to start a new thread?
Thanks all the mods

It looks like a table error. If I have a link to an individual post inside the thread, maybe I could take that, snip it out, and then try pruning the thread one way or another. Failing that, gonna toss this to the admins.

The only individual post link I can come up with is the latest post (http://forums.jolt.co.uk/showpost.php?p=12987369&postcount=11142), which for all I know might be what caused the problem in the first place. But here you go anyway.

This is a Jolt issue. Our tools won't touch it.
Based on previous similar problems, Jolt's solution was to delete the thread for us (which we could have done had we wanted to). I have moved it to a safe place to do a couple of experiments, but they all got the table error too.
I'm afraid that after 11,000 posts, it's time to start a new topic. Sorry about the lost history, but there's not much we can do.
