HBS I also like small informative posts.
Long posts can be a bit bad if they're not informative or if they seem somewhat dragged out too much. If I run into a long post I generally read like the first few sentences and then skim the rest if I can. If it loses my interest then I'll move onto something better.
So all in all, I guess they add value to your forums, but can be annoying when you could of said something in like 2-3 sentences instead of writing a novel :P
I'm not a big fan of reading long posts. It's better to break the discussion into 2 and 3 word sentences where the topic is developed.
