Is there a way to export a society's entire historical postings into some kind of external archive file, that can be taken off this site?

That's too bad. Is there a date at which old posts will be removed from the database?

The only way to totally remove posts from your society is to delete the forum, or the whole society.

I wish we could ad such a system, but it would take a lot of resources for larger societies to run such a job.

actually there is a way to archive your societies files and thats with a website extractor. a good program for that is website extractor v.9.10. i used this program to extract BdG's public forums to a file on my hard drive. the total size for these 5,000 files came out to only 120 megs of info(naturally i filtered out all the superfilous information avatars, ads, ect.)

It's best that you don't use a program to do that. As it can cause outages for other people, and it is in the terms of use.

Sorry 'bout that, i'll read the terms of use section so i don't make a mistake like that again.
