Even with an infinite amount of time this task is very infeasible.
Let x = the number of bytes each post takes up in the database
The number of posts required to reach your goal is 100,000,000,000,000 / .01 = 10,000,000,000,000,000.
This thread would then require
10,000,000,000,000,000 * x bytes of storage
Even if x were equal to 1 that would still require 10 petabytes of storage. Most likely the actual number is closer to an exabyte. The current size of the internet is estimated at around 500EB ( http://www.livenews.com.au/entertain...09/5/20/207174 ) which would mean this thread alone would be 1/500th of the internet.
Anyways...
