When you take nearly 20 years of data and allow it to be searchable and accessible to reuse, it chews up CPU for sure.
This site also has an enormous amount of graphics, gifs and videos that add to the crush.
Could an archive DB be setup to house a lot of older stuff that is still accessable but not always indexed and updated?
I recall a large medical company like Merck or someone similar had an issue like this.

If you're asking if there's a function in vBulletin to put things in a different table than the POST table, the answer is no. If the posts exist on ChiefsPlanet, they exist in the POST table.
The version that I was suggesting would literally mean cloning the entire thing into a new installation like archive.chiefsplanet.com. There would be no interaction between the two, so if you wanted to "bump a post" from 2005, you'd just have to start a thread and link to it.
