I want to export the posts from my FUDForum.

I have

"Our users have posted a total of 117311 messages inside 9855 topics."

From the last year that I want to archive and delete.

What would be easy for me would be to load the messages to my news server - but although I can configure it to send new posts to the news server I cannot see a way to export existing messages.

Or other suggestions how I export the forum?

You can use FUDAPI to retrieve this information and store it in any way you like.

FUDAPI is a well documented API interface that will allow you to perform a variety of forum functions. The code & the documentation to it can be found inside scripts/fudapi.inc.php

Then you are probably using an older version of FUDforum that does not have this file. 2.6.2+ are the versions that have it.

Different forum versions is the only possible reason.
