XenCustomize Auto Archive Threads for XenForo 2!

Keep discussions flowing smoothly and move old content where it belongs — automatically.

Auto Archive Threads lets you move threads into a target forum when the time is right, with zero manual work.
Create smart archive rules per thread or enforce global rules across forums.
Once set up, the addon runs in the background and moves threads to your archive area on schedule — fast, clean, and precise.

From reply limits to inactivity, thread age, or specific timestamps, you’re always in total control.
