Ok I was assuming the db could be really big. I'm storing images so it _will_ get pretty large.
For the field size question: I had an idea to greatly simplify sorting/displaying a comments thread with replies by appending the replies within their respective original comment field. Since the order I want to display the comments is the natural chronological order, a simple append process seems to make sense. Haven't tried yet but seems logical.
