Care to explain how SEO would be a problem?
I've been experimenting with different ways to archive old posts. The problems I run into are I have to close the forums I don't want to archive, run the program, create links to the archive which is easy if you use the forum link feature, then prune the threads I archived and finally reopen the forums.
I then use another use ASP.net so users can search the static archive. This works, but, is time consuming.
Throwing more hardware at a problem is not the answer. vBulletin should have a true archive feature as well as other enhancements to make it easier for big board owners.
