You can't force an automated expire for a single group, as that's set per 
server (which doesn't make a lot of sense when the group may show up on 
multiple servers, and when a particular post expires might then depend on 
which server pan happened to see it on first, but that's beside the 
point).

However, you can simply delete posts, thus doing effectively the same 
thing.  To do this based on time, as with expiration, unthread, sort by 
date, select all the oldest posts up to the date you want to keep, then 
delete.
