I need some advice. Should messages imported from a large and old forum be imported as open or closed threads?
To give you some background I have been running another forum software (webbbs) for more than 10 years. In my old forum old messages were manually moved to archives for every year. Once a message was archived it was not possible to reply to it anymore. I am now importing all the messages from my old forum, both old archived threads from previous years and the active messages into the same new vBulletin forum. I am hesitant if I should import all the messages into open threads or if I should try to set some date after which the threads should be closed.
What would you recommend?
