Can this MOD be used to archive a 2.0.15 forum permanently ?
Looking for a MOD to make existing forum read only and then convert to static html.
I could just make it read only and leave it in php, but in future, there should not be issues with upgrades of SMF/php/mysql etc.
So, static html would be better.

Planning to close forum and start something else.
But as many useful discussions were made in past, they should be made available for visitors and search engines in html format

No still requires php/mysql. You would need to write a script to save to html for each page.

SMF 2.0.x will be good up to 7.3 it looks like with new updates.

Got it.. but the idea is to permanently close down the forum and make it static html without having to worry about future updates of php/smf.
HTML will remain permanent.

There might be some tools that crawl and do it. Check out something like a  https://www.httrack.com/

@Dblog: I downloaded this script from some post on this forum, but can't remember which post . What I can remember is that the author was very brief in explaining what the script does and probably registered just to share the script (thank you nonetheless, whoever you are ).
