I don't think archiving the old forum is that big of a problem. In most cases new posts in a forum thread are only related to recent posts. So as long as the person who continues a thread in the new forum adds a link in the first post to the archived thread (and, if it makes sense, also copy the content of the first post in the archived thread and/or the last post), things should be fine *in most cases*.
The forum change is obviously not ideal, but I don't see it as a big issue.
EDIT: Arh, accidentally left out the word 'copy' ("also copy the content...").
