Hi,
I need to create a static version of a MyBB forum.
Is there a way to create static HTML pages of a forum or at least of the entries, so that links in google's search index refer to the old entries. Maintaining the design is not of great importance but would be nice.
you mean you want an archive?
I want to archive AND disable mybb (so that I don't need to update, patch and worry)

Honestly I wouldn't recommend such a thing, as you'd end up with the core of Mybb, and potentially the vulnerabilities that come with it due to it becoming depreceted and not getting updated.
You could create a category and have posts over a certain age going into their automatically? I dont understand why you want to disable Mybb though, if you can explain your reasoning behind that I might be able to help a little more.
However, you could create a category like I say and set up a task that checks, say every week, for threads that are a certain age, and moves them to this category. You can then set up a rule that says threads in that category will be locked from further replies.
Sorry, but you didn't understand the premise:
no mybb anymore. no php, no "core of mybb".
All I need is, that when someone get's a link to the forum via google search, he sees the information, served by apache as html file.
Static HTML can't handle permissions.
come on, people, this is not the point.
google index has X pages of a mybbsite.com
I need a static version of all these pages.
basically this for smf but for mybb:

problem is, that a simple
wget --mirror --convert-links --adjust-extension --page-requisites --no-parent
http://example.com
just loads the index.php
Close registration, disable all pages but show thread, delete the admin directory, and forget about it.
You did wait 8 hours for a reply for something you could have done on twenty minutes and move on.
This answer is at best unqualified. If you are really of the opinion, that disabling some interactive parts in mybb is enough to never update it again you should maybe post a bit less here.

Try it with --debug - it seems to be an issue with
wget rather than MyBB (possibly a confusion about GET parameters). You can also try enabling
search engine friendly URLs first.
