Hi, thanks for your response and the clarification. I guess at some point most of the content will be obsolete, but I understand that it has to end at some point.
I fear that ask is not giving us that much control on what's enabled and disabled in "read-only mode". I see there is still pagination to access later answers... Would you have an example of a question with the "see more comments" behavior ?
One example would be here: https://ask.openstack.org/en/question/128442/how-to-setup-controller-node-ha... Regards, Eugen Zitat von Thierry Carrez <thierry@openstack.org>:

Hi everyone,
I have a question regarding read-only ask.openstack.org. I understand the decision to make it read-only but one thing still bothers me since I look up problems from time to time. And I noticed that you can't expand all comments if there were more than a few. Users were able to expand by clicking "see more comments" but that's not possible anymore. Is there any way to make the whole page visible, maybe remove that button and kind of "auto-expand" all comments? Some of the comments might have valuable information.

More generally, note that we'll hit a dead-end in April when the ask server LTS distribution will cease to be supported, and we have nobody in the community with time to work on porting the ask setup to more recent distributions... So the plan is to turn it off.
At that point ask.openstack.org content will be lost, unless we somehow make a static copy somewhere. The Internet archive has copies of ask.openstack.org but they do not seem to run very deep. If anyone has ideas on how we could preserve that content without spending too many cycles on it, please share :)
