Migrating content from old forums

[whb]

@Pedja

The best option would be to set 301 redirections on old forum site so once user goes there (following some not updated link) he would be permanently redirected to new URL so he will not ever go there but to new community directly.

That’s exactly how it was done.
The migration is complete.

Migrating content from old forums

The import has now been completed. All imported content redirects are in place. There is a simple feed redirect to a static feed asking users to update their feed. The site certificate now has alt names for forum.openstreetmap.org and forum.osm.org The @forums-governance will over the next few days merge duplicate categories and make other clean ups.

The import migration was completed more than a week ago. All the forum.openstreetmap.org users and posts have have been imported. All old forum.openstreetmap.org links redirects to the imported content here.
