Basically you want it so you can move threads to a completely different set of tables that are more or less stripped down versions of the thread and post tables vbulletin uses.

yes

Then a script like archive.php that displays the threads and lets you read them as well?

correct.

the reason is the following: huge forums like mine get performance problems when searching the big post table.
my archive has about 2 million postings. i won't prune it, so look for a posibillity to "archive" it.

EDIT: Also reading though the thread a bit more do you want it to do this after a certain amount of time or do you want it to happen manually.

i prefer the manual way: select a bunch of threads like in the "move threads" option in CP and the chosse "archive", with the option "keep original threads" or prune it.

the archive don't have to be compressed like in Xenons hack, because that would cost to much performance when moving.

thx in advance!

if you have questions...
