I think it would be a good idea to have an archive section in the forum. It would be for permanent posting of useful information.

Anyone know what I am talking about?

This is a great idea... I am going to open a new forum next week to discuss ideas how the forum should be structured to maximize it's usefullness.

This will include an easy to use archive.

Great, there is always valuable information that was posted and is posted on the board that I wish I could still find...

try using the search feature.
