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.

  • I and Sophos do care about your comments and your suggestions. It takes time for us to implement changes and it is very evident that the Astaro forum and the Sophos Community are very different platforms. There are going to bumps along the way and new things to learn. Those bumps are being worked on but it won't be as quickly as everyone would like. We will need to design, implement, test and release - much like any other project is managed.

    Ruckus and I are championing your suggestions and working with a number of folks to get changes done to improve the experience. Search, UX/UI, ease of use, communication etc... are all on our to-do.

    We have another release of features coming up that we know will improve the experiences and we will continue to do so until our community members have a great experience. The plan to take the Astaro.org offline on Jan 20 will proceed and we will continue to improve this Community based on your feedback.

    If you need to contact me directly, feel free to PM me and we'll get on a call.
