wget forum archiving

I want to archive a forum with wget, so that I can purge 90% of the database (old posts), reduce server resources load, and so on...

I understand a wget archived forum will no longer be dynamic, no problem, that's the whole intention (reduce server consumed resources). I'll even set up a template with no reply options and all that...

OK, so here is my question... I have no wget experience.

- Say the board is at mysite.com/forum/ I want it to be archived at mysite.com/archive/
- People tend to insert into the forum images from other sites. I dont want it to copy the images to my server, let it still point to those sites.
- Forum is like this one, site.com/forumdisplay.php?s=&forumid=5 (php). I want the results saved as *.html

Could anyone help me with the command?
I am reading the Wget Manual, but still... I'm still not knowing how to do it...



Thanks, thanks, and thanks wget forum archiving
