We've taken great care to write our replies in a generic fashion where
possible, with the aim of collecting knowledge that others can profit
from (instead of asking the same question over and over again).
Not copying past answers, at least the last two years or so, would mean
we'd have to write all these answers again because the questions will
inevitably be asked.
I think it would be rather disrespectful to those who have invested a
lot of time into building a good body of knowledge in the old system to
say "let's throw away this content, main thing is we get a shiny new
system". And the alternative of having to keep the old system around in
a read-only fashion is not super attractive either.
Hi Frederik,
I'm myself among the more frequent contributors on the site. I'm not
saying to throw everything away and would appreciate if one could still
refer to the the old answers. But considering how long this issue has
been hanging in the air without resolution I would favor a practical way
over one that will let us wait another few years before something
happens. In my view it should be possible to leave the old site in a
read only state and start a new site from zero. We could still link to
answers on the archived site. Of course I'd welcomed if there was a
reasonably fast way of moving and migrating all the old Q&As.
Tobias
