IMHO, that service can be easily moved to a newer OS/PHP stack and so continue to run.

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.

Hi Fabian,
I'd like to keep the forum running until the C7 EOL because it is still getting a fair amount of new posts.
However, it's not me that would make any suggestion on this subject. It should be Trevor. He has been taking care of >90% of the forum posts. :-)
