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 am in with the others on this...so sad you are shutting down astaro.org, when you could have upgraded the vBulletin to the newest version and preserved everything.
    Zimbra Collaboration, as you use now for Sophos Community, is NO WAY near vBulletin.
    I'm not just a guy who can't deal with new systems, I love them...if they are better! But I am so lost with this new community, lack of navigation, big fonts and most of all, I feel that I drown in information, lacking the visibility to see the light :-(

    Please Sophos - remember how the former ASG and now UTM product got so popular - it WAS because of the community! - And not just a community, but THE BEST community, that has ever existed for such a product.

    Don't destroy it by "killing" faithfull contributers, who will stop doing what they do, and leave the community to the more "light" users, who has no where else to go. - maybe they will start a community of their own someday...
