Board Slowdown

[Zombie]

The forums seem to be very slow this morning, not sure why, but I have a concept for consideration....
There are more than 7K topics in the forums, and more than 10K posts, the basic forum alone has the most.  I don't know if that causes slowdowns or not.  In my office we use a system like this:
Active board   all stuff within the last 30 days
Standing board   All stuff still relevent after 30 days
Dead file    everything else taken from Active board

Could a similar concept help here?  Make like an archive section where the majority of posts go after a certain time period.  I don't know if this would help, or even be possible, but I thought if nothing else it might get some folks to thinking.  This is by no means a bash either, I think this board is the best on the net, just trying to do my part to make it even better!

hasn't been slow for me

I think the idea was to collect material from the forums to the FAQ so Zombies idea isn't that bad. But only if ofcourse, the staff do their job   Still, it works like lubricated whore for me so I deny I ever agreed  :-X
