What is the best way to move threads on a discussion forum
to an achrived page.

Basically the viewers will click the Archive link and it
will route them to a new page with the arhived threads.

How often should I archive and how is it done.

THANKS!
Lisa
 
You would publish the discussion web (Subweb) to another subweb, then create
a new discussion web (subweb) and create link to the archive discussion
subweb from the new one.

So would I be creating a new discussion web (subweb)every
time I arhive?

or am I creating a subweb for every archived page? and do
I have to create a new subweb for every arvhiced page?

Confused; isn't there an easier way?
Thanks

I participate on a travel forum;
(http://www.caribline.com/islands/cu/forum.shtml) they
seem to archive articles very quickly; after so many
threads on the page 100 or so?
 
Yes you archive the old DW subweb and create a new empty DW each time
- in the archived web you can either allow users to continue to post, or edit the post / respond pages to remove the submit options

When it start to slow down.

For all of what you have been trying, you might do better locating a 3rd
Party Discussion Forum that is database driven.
