Summary
Per issue #187, we're deprecating support for our forums with a target date of Decemember 2024. After that date the forums will be replaced with a static 'read only' copy as we did for the wiki
What’s been done so far
About 10 years of conversation around what should happen
What needs to be done
-
Schedule service brown outs

Place the forums in read-only mode to produce the static copy

Clean and serve the static content at the same URLs
