It means that it thinks you have a whole lot of articles in the
group. To fix this, you have a couple of choices. One is to set the
variable gnus-large-newsgroup to a large value. If you don't read a
lot of really big groups, you can set it to nil and it should stop
prompting you. Another option is to select all the articles in the
group (C-u x M P p)[1] and then move them to that group
(B m groupname RET).

So yeah, that's that so far as I know.
