I want to table my discourse community for awhile because we have pushed out launching for 8 months. So there is no point of me paying 50 bucks a month for something I am not going to touch.

Which means I have to cancel my subscription. And the content will disappear.

I am wondering if I back it up and re-upload at a later date with a new subscription if it would capture all the likes, etc. The gifs posted in each post that has been made. Images etc. Let me know how I can put this Discourse on the back burner without losing the content that was already contributed. There are a bunch of posts with pictures and gifs etc.

Thank you.
