    Let's chat about forums.centos.org <http://forums.centos.org> !

    IMHO, that service can be easily moved to a newer OS/PHP stack
    and so
    continue to run. But on the other hand, I heard rumors that some
    forums
    moderators would like to stop maintaining/moderating it after 2024.

    I also heard that there is now a centos category on fedora
    discourse
    (https://discussion.fedoraproject.org/c/centos/71
    <https://discussion.fedoraproject.org/c/centos/71>)

    So while we (centos infra) can easily migrate that server,
    should we ?


I think the moderators have been pretty clear in different venues
that they are done with this when CentOS 7 end of lifes. 

That is correct.

Hey Akemi,

so the question is now : do we just want to keep it running for one year , and so just decommission it in June 2024 ? In the meantime, I guess Shaun can see about centos section on Fedora discourse and start promoting it ? That way people will be aware in advance that the new place to discuss "centos stream" related things will be on discourse and so that we can just shutdown old forums.centos.org service.
