I just went to check and found that the iBook forum doesn't seem to have EVER been archived. Today, a 6 YEAR OLD thread has been resurected. http://forums.macnn.com/66/ibook-and...rdperfect-3-a/

Personally, I'd rather use an option to prevent bumping of threads older than 6 months, then fold all the archives back into their respective forums. It would simplify searching.

However, I have never gotten an answer if vBB supports setting a cut-off date for thread bumps.

Hmm that seems like a good idea. Does the vBB site not detail what it can do?
