I think these threads, and the other threads that have dozens of pages (and I have my settings set to a 100 posts per page I think), should either be 1) stickied 2) locked 3) filterable.
I think the problem with overly long threads is that they tend to clog up the thread list. This could be solved by sticking them so that they're organized in one place and potentially hidden. There's also more debateable problems like overly long threads declining in quality, essentially becoming a sub forum and lacking a central topic, or becoming a chat room for a few people.
For me, the ideal solution is being able to filter out threads. Maybe a button that says "Read" (is there already a feature like that?). That'll hide the thread from the thread list.
