I wouldn’t mind archiving all my old comments. Anyone know of a way to do this?

I think this might be it: Go to your users page, click Activity, and you can “download my posts” there.

That is true, but he said “pre-BBS” comments. So Disqus, effectively? Can’t you download your Disqus comments from Disqus?

Oh, right. We managed to ingest most disqus comments into our blog archives, so they are there. But it’s basically a mountain of sql in wordpress right now

teapot, we have 3,353 comments of yours in our pre-discourse archives. I don’t know how to make them portable but will look into it.

@beschizza Thankyou sir, much appreciated. The thought of mow many sql entries must be in the BB Wordpress db is the stuff of nightmares.

How many is the stuff of nightmares?
I freaked out a friend when I had a half a billion records on a MySQL db with 8gb of ram that would respond to most (not all) joins in milliseconds. Then right after that another friend asked me to do a multi to multi to multi join, my slight ego boost was lost.
I may have quietly muttered “hadoop” and walked away.

Sure if the indexes fit in RAM ain’t no thing. When your indexes no longer fit in RAM … you are in for a world of hurt.
