archiving/moving discussion board content to "inactive" discussion

We're using Sharepoint Services on W2K3 as kind of a "blog" to discuss
prepartion of projects, ad campaigns, and trade show booths. Our company
exhibits at a couple of trade shows that are held twice a year (fall/spring,
winter/summer, or east/west coast). So we'll have a discussion for Trade
Show A Summer 2005, Trade Show A Winter 2005, Trade Show A Summer 2004, and
similar discussions for the others. Once a trade show has passed, the
marketing director wants to remove that discussion from the active
discussion board, but keep it on the site in an "Archived Discussions" board
so they can go back when needed to see why things were done the way they
were the last time, or who handled which aspects of prep.

Can someone point me to info on moving discussions between discussion
boards? I've Yahoo'd and searche the MSKB and couldn't turn up anything.

Thanks.

Not anyway to do this without custom development. In SharePoint every thing
is pretty much a list, and within lists are list items, so the list in this
case is the discussion board and the list item is one post on the discussion
board. It would be easy enough to do this with some code but through the
user interface there isn't a way to do it.
