You would achieve the same effect. It's not really hard to believe that this doesn't come standard...it's not that common of a problem.

I have thought about doing that, however, I would have to create a daily cron that can move tables from one database to the other so that the users table and other tables would move over without users being able to tell that in the archive they are actually using a different database. I do not run my own webserver anymore so I would have to see if this would be available on the virtual server I am running now..

I don't see how this isn't a more common problem. Granted, I know my forum is way bigger than most, but it is more than likely not the biggest out there.. With my size of forum, you lliterally have to optimize daily to ensure the database is running smoothly, being able to seperate the posts by year to another database would fix this problem..
