If you want to keep it simple, maybe only keep posts for 5 - 10 years?.

I vote NO to that... Many of the old threads are amazing history of a movement. It was awesome to read the old Vince Foster threads during the campaign.

Upon further reflection you are right about that. There are some really great historical threads. Somebody else mentioned archiving older posts, but still making them available.
