Ok, maybe I was getting too excited about the archive feature then. For my site, I'd like

to be able to have archiving on by default for 12 months from the posting date of the story
once the story is archived, for it to appear only in the Archive topic

I can achieve the first feature through some hacks to public_html/admin/story.php. The second would be handled in public_html/index.php but I'm lost on how to make it happen. The idea is when you transfer a story to the archive topic, also set it to not appear on the front page.

Is there a timeframe for the story archive feature or anything I can do to contribute?

The Story Archive feature is new and working in this new release. It's not enabled by default when creating a story was what I meant to say earlier and it's enabled by the editor on a story by story.

It will either auto-delete or move it to a topic of choice. If this topic is hidden from normal users its like being offline or it can be a topic called "Archived Content" that members can see.

Having it default to now+1 year should be a simple mod to story.php.

Ok, that's how I had it. But our site has 72 pages of stories on the front page, and we would like to keep archived stories open to all visitors. So I added , frontpage = 0 to public_html/ index.php so it reads

DB_query ("UPDATE 
{$_TABLES['stories']} SET tid = '$archivetid' , frontpage = 0 WHERE 
sid='{$sid}'");

so when a story gets archived, it only gets shown in the archive topic.

That may be a better default way to have it anyways. Most will not want it on the frontpage if it should be archived - would be my assumption now as well. I think we can make this change.
