A new product by XenCustomize is available: Auto Archive Threads 2.0.0 - Automatically move threads out of active forums and into your archive area using reply limits, inactivity timers, thread age, or exact dates.
Keep discussions flowing smoothly and move old content where it belongs — automatically.
Auto Archive Threads lets you move threads into a target forum when the time is right, with zero manual work.
Create smart archive rules per thread or enforce global rules across forums.
Once set up, the addon runs in the background and moves threads to your archive area on schedule — fast, clean, and precise.
From reply limits to inactivity, thread age, or specific timestamps, you’re always in total control.
Per-thread auto-archive rules
Set archive behavior directly from the Thread Tools menu using a clean overlay interface.
Single rule per thread
Only one active rule at a time — no conflicts, clear outcomes.
Four useful archive triggers
Visual archive indicator
A clear info bar on the thread view shows when and why the thread will be archived.
Permission-based control

→ “Set auto-archive rules for threads”
Automatic archive execution
