how forum post's stored in database? (which data type)?

im building an online forum system. ive inspected forum.asp.net forum's and
i think there is no limitation over how long a message could be. so i wonder
how messages stored in database. as i know nvarchar has a limit about 4096
chars. and using ntext has searching limitations (when used with LIKE
operator).

There is also varchar which has an 8K limit.

Each forum may have different requirements. If you are writing a forum
system, then just impose a limit yourself.

Realistically though, are people going to post more then 4K in a single
message?

yes maybe not and i decided to go sraightforward and choosed nvarchar (as my
primary language is turkish and i want unicode support for searching). but i
just wondered how they successed unlimited lenght.
