I know it's possible with other forums I'm not sure about web wiz.

I want to archive all the old posts on my forum, the database is getting pretty large. Converting a 48mb access database to MsSQL has increased the size of it to 280mb. Annnnyway.

I'd like to archive the post and export them to webpage. Like this - http://forum.weebls-stuff.com/archive/index.php" rel="nofollow - http://forum.weebls-stuff.com/archive/index.php

I've searched for a good wee while, is it possible?

You should not need to archive posts as web wiz forums can cope with millions of posts.

Your database size does appear to be very oversized considering it was a 48MB Access database, it should not be any bigger than a 70MB SQL Server database.

Make sure that you have your SQL Server database set to simple recovery mode and then shrink the database, this should take your database down to around 60MB in size.
