Anyway you could make the replies that quote previous messages not store the previous message itself but just refer to it? So that when somebody writes something really long and ten people reply to it with just on line but quote the whole thing you would only be storing one copy and referring to it (transparent to reader) in all the other messages. A sort of lossless compression I guess.
