Forum archive or not?

[cache]

I noticed that namepros.com does not move the old thread/post to vbulletin's archive. I have a forum http://trik.com/forum , a lot of the posts are moved into the archive section. Is archive a good idea or not?

archives increases se backlinks as well.

thanks.

so what percentage of the archive posts vs non-archived posts?
my http://trik.com/forum has a lot of posts went to the archive,
I think too much percentage of the posts went archive. Am I
correct?

That depends on the settings you put from admin panel.

If activity is much and if you think those threads are old enough then you can set a threshold accordingly.

the reason I am asking is that after I have done a 301 redirect to my old domain http://ijfg.com which had a PR3 to http://trik.com/forum , the PR is zero now. The only thing I thought might caused the PR change is due to the archive. Do you think archiving file may cause a PR3 site to PR0?

thanks.

No I don't think it might have caused it. But it is just my opinion not something that is hard fact.
