Keep threads away from pruning ???

[tossporn]

Hi,
I'm newbie on vBulletin.

I'm looking for any modification or option that can keep some specified threads away from being deleted by prune.
Imagine, if we like to delete/prune the old threads, but some threads are valuable, and we like to keep them.
How to make those threads safe from pruning?

I mean, can we let's modulator to mark these thread as "un-prune-able" before the time.

Thanks in advance.

As far as I know, there is no default pruning system in VBulletin. All of the pruning we have on our site is done by modifications/add-ons.

I'm running 3.7.3 but I'm pretty sure it's the same for all versions.

There is a default pruning system in the admin cp > threads & posts > prune You have to do it manually - it isn't a scheduled task.

Alas, the included pruning system will only delete threads. What is really needed is a way to offline archive old threads. This would make pruning the db fairly easy.

Did not know that... lol... learn something new every day...


this is what I use

https://vborg.vbsupport.ru/showthrea...ht=move+thread

It can be set up to move threads to a certain board... like an "archive" board

I'm not sure I see the point of moving a thread after x days. The db won't have been pruned; it will still grow and grow.
