I’m using Discourse for a yearly event (a preparatory course at a university), both for internal use for the organizers and for discussion among participants. This year’s event has finished, and once usage has dropped below significance, I’d be okay with shutting the installation down. Next year, h…

Could you move the topics to an ‘archive’ category that is organized with tags?

Use groups, one for each year. And api to manage groups.

We definitely need a better archiving strategy but I am not sure what that is at the moment.

This is my favorite idea so far.

As you get deeper into doing this update the topic; we may want to convert some of the manual steps you take into automatic steps that Discourse can take on your behalf. Once we know what they are…

Sounds great! So let me dream a bit: Add a group containing all non-staff users. Implement a new user state, let’s call it “expired” for now: Expiring a user forces a logout. Expired users cannot interact via email. Logging in once again reinstates the account, without re-validating the address. A…
