I would love to convert my old threads into html files that don't need database storage, but as I researched I could not find any tool that would do that.
It's always amazed me that the vb prune doesn't offer any option except 'delete'. How hard would it be to instead offload the pruned posts to a text, html, or xml file? I understand this would require a separate search function, but I'd really only like to keep the old stuff around for historical purposes. Maybe just let people download the whole file if they want to research old posts.
