Yes, we noticed that the forum web page needs to be active to trigger the auto prune and the knowledge base that you referred helped us understanding as well.
My bad i kind of didn't explain fully, we cloned the db into dev just for testing our sql scripts, auto pruning & archiving logic etc. The other thing that we wanted to try on the board on my signature was to delete some of the old posts since Google is struggling to crawl the webpages and its delaying the new pages crawl since it has tons of old pages that it has not finished yet. So we decided to auto prune set 35 days yesterday so it has deleted some of the old topics, hopefully this helps Google to crawl little faster. Currently we have the page redirect for the older pages that's on Google but we are still looking for a bulk move to archive forum solution to not to mess with old google seo pages and still create new topics URL on sitemap.xml. Thanks.
