I feel like there could be some really fun things done with those icons. Namely, when a topic starts to really take off in terms of post count. It would make it easier for a user to figure what are popular topics at a glance, and perhaps draw the attention of a Mod to a thread that might be getting away with a little more than it should at a much higher rate than it should ever be allowed.
Basically, have different icons for 50 post, 100 posts, 500 post, 1,000 post, and then anything 2,000 and up. Also, threads that have gone long enough to essentially "die" should have a necrothread icon, warding off necroposting.
Another idea was by mneo, saying there could be an icon for a thread when the OP has been reported. I think that would be very helpful to the community as well.
