The layout of the website becomes a bit strange when infinite replies are allowed. I think it would require a lot of work to have a good way of representing infinite replies. My guess is most people are OK with only 2 levels of reply.

if it could go forever then the page would be about a zillion pixels wide and a zillion pixels up and down

that seams good,but 100s of replies will make the page very long.

When having actual conversations with the reply feature, I see a conversation structure like this emerge:

fullmoon: Yo sup
  user: Hey
    fullmoon: where's my toaster?
  user: I don't know
    fullmoon: don't make this hard, man, I want my toaster!
  user: I don't have your toaster!
    fullmoon: Real funny, kid. Now hand it over.

and so on. It actually makes conversations easier to read. The only problem with the two-reply system comes when you reply to person A's comment, then person B leaves a reply on your reply, and you can't directly address their comment. Also, having conversations this way also gives several of my projects many, many more comments than they would normally have.
