Final shutdown and removal of Astaro.org

ruckus

Hi All,

The time has come to shutdown the https://astaro.org site.  With the migration of the forums and threads to the Sophos Community complete and the Astaro site in a static read-only mode I wanted to post and let you know what's happening next.

Having initially posted to the moderator's board (hidden to most) about the plan and to get feedback I don't see anything that blocks shutting down the site.  Therefore we plan to take the Astaro.org site offline on January 20th (one week from today as of writing) and redirect forum links on that site to the corresponding forum here.

I'd like to thank all members of the UTM group for their patience while waiting for the migration to complete - moving several hundred thousand posts was no small task. 

If you have any comments or questions please post below.

  • Let me preface by saying I believe change is often quite beneficial; however, from a user’s standpoint, I have yet to experience a single benefit of the migration but of course I’m beating a dead horse since I’m just a lowly user that’s not capable of understanding the genius of the move. I’m guessing security, reporting, managing and supporting of the new system is perceived by management as much improved. Oops, I left out user experience.

    As far as the closing of Astaro.org, I believe commenting in this thread is not going to amount to a hill of beans since the decision has already been made. I stopped visiting Astora.org when they disabled the search functionality. What a loss.

    By the way, it appears that some of the threads did not migrate. I have some "reply" emails of threads I've posted in. When I attempt a search of either site, no results are returned and the threads appear to have been removed from Astaro.org when I visit the URL's of the threads listed in those emails. It looks like some threads did not make the trip!
