Archiving will take place on Sunday to address the slowness
It looks like we are going to be switching to v-bulletin. For now, we're going to archive everything prior to January 1 2007.
That should take care of performance issues until the move. When we do move, we will only be transferring three months to the new forums. Previous posts will be archived on ubb. Because archiving will require some downtime, it will begin early Sunday.

Re: Archiving will take place on Sunday to address the slowness
^^yea, this is getting really annoying to have to wait like a min to load every other page...
so when the forums are upgraded, only the last 3 months of posts at that time will be transferred?? so are u indicating our favorites links should be backed up??

Re: Archiving will take place on Sunday to address the slowness
Are you going to archive posts that had the OP prior to 1/1/07, or are you going to archive posts that have the most recent response before 1/1/07?

Re: Archiving will take place on Sunday to address the slowness
We'll archive threads with no activity since 1/1/07. If, all of a sudden in response to this announcement a lot of threads become active again we may have to archive even more threads. I want to get the database down to about half it's current size or smaller and if it takes more then I'll do more.
When we eventually move to new software we will only take about 3 months of threads with us (as Mat said). We will not take PM's. We will not take favorite threads. However, the old forums will remain in read-only mode and your PM's and favorites will still exist.
