OK, "mysql 5" isn't a member name here so I assume you are not refering to a forum mod....

If we do this using a server mysql based command, it would be hard for the server to know what forums should be archived or to add attributes to prevent problems later if for some reason you were to delete the forum where the old threads were archived from, right?

It looks like basically the vB_threads and vB_posts tables have the information that would need to be archived... Add an extra field in the vb_threads table where the current forum name could be captured and it is a case of a new database with essentually just these two tables...

I know the code is more complicated then that but not all that much more to get a basic archive database for old posts....
