Pezman, the webmaster for the Infogrames North America forums (or the INA, as most call it), probably one of the largest vB forums out there, posted a problem at vB.com.

Basicly, putting old posts into archive forums really doesn't reduce their effect on the server. When you have 2 million posts, I can easily understand how this can be a major drag on the operation.

My suggestion was to create new post and thread tables which are only used on forums marked as archive forums, or when an "Include archives in search" checkbox is checked when doing a search.

Though the original request was to solve a problem on a huge forum, I think it could be of use on moderately large forums also, and I would use it if it was created.

I would do it myself, except I am currently knee deep in a multi-month project for my board and don't really have the time right now.
