Archiving Old Posts

To prevent the resurrection of long dead threads we will now be locking threads after 6 months of no activity. For the larger boards we will have an archive area where these old posts will be stored. We don't want to delete them, just archive them. You can see an example on the betta forum of an archive board.

This should also make it easier to search for recent posts in a particular section.

Thanks,
Mike

That's a great idea, Mike.

Actually, instead of putting the archives within a particular board I'm most likely going to create an "archive" board with the archives divided up by topic... I think it might get too confusing having all the archives all over the forum.

That's what they do on a cat forum I go on. They have an archived posts section.

Several members and moderators had made comments on old posts getting brought back from the dead and possibly locking them down - so it was time for an archive of sorts.

It will be easier searching the archives for past information without having to wade through current posts as well.
Thanks Mike
