I look forward to updates on this concept.

Well said Erwin my thought exactly. I have said many times that vbulletin needs a true archive which would take closed threads or older threads and put them in flatfiles to rerad from there. This seems to be taking it one step further. To have all threads read from static files would reduce the server load imensly. The script itself after the initial run would be resource intense, but, once it only has to do a few threads say every 15 minutes it wouldn't be bad at all.

I hope this becomes a reality. Someone started something like this for vb2 and never finished it.
