This is the first draft of the plugin mentioned here: [Anyone interested in a mass automatic archiving plugin?](https://meta.discourse.org/t/anyone-interested-in-a-mass-automatic-archiving-plugin/47477)

Basically on a certain (configurable) day of the year all topics posted before a certain (configurable) day get marked as **Archived**. This happens once a year.

Example on the 120th day of the year all posts from before the 30th day of the year will get archived.

Work to do:

- Change to a list of days of the year (60, 120,180,240,300) and days afterwards to run (30)
- Figure out an interface to select categories to effect or not effect.
