The idea behind threaded comments is they're a separate thread so to have them "folded in" is counter intuitive. It's already evident that this sort of "threading" is a problem, if you look you can see users referring to each other by name which doesn't associate the reply with the parent, which makes the conversation hard to follow. Imagine this with 10,000 replies...
If you don't properly thread the comments then you will very much cripple the way a conversation can evolve, I run one of the largest forums and if there's one thing that absolutely sucks it's a lack of proper threading, it seriously restricts how long a topic can survive and how useful it can be.
