Maximum tables in a database?

I wonder how many tables is the maximum for a normal linux server? Let's say we put's a multiuser phpnbb forum with 2000 users with a set of 20 tables per user. This means 20 000 tables. If the admin for each table opens each forum at the same time, I imagine that like 5 table files per forum has to be opened equal to 100 000 files at the same time. As fare as I know a linux kernel kan work with no more than 1024-2048 native threads at the same time. This can be increase to 4048, but it will newer come close to the 100 000 files needed to be opened?

My question is therefore, in reality, how many tables in a database is realistic?
