Let's chat about 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)

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. Moving the forum to read-only and scraping/archiving the public discussions at that point is probably best. At that point put a placeholder to the scraped site and a link to future discussions to the  discussion.fedoraproject.org system. I think the types of discussions for CentOS Stream 9++ will mesh better with Fedora as they are both more 'update weekly to see what is coming' focused than the 'long term sit and update when I have to' production that older CentOS releases were known for. 

 
Let's spend some time investigating the options and take a decision
about it !

Kind Regards,
