Airtable forums in read only for 1 week starting Feb 21

Well I think they should send people here not just put useless annoucement there.

he Community will be undergoing maintenance from Friday February 21 - Friday, February 28 and will be “read only” during this time. To learn more, check out our Announcements blog post.

For almost like 2-3 weeks Airtable forums are inaccessible. This is ridiculous what they are doing. Incompetent. So if they move to a new platform, which is unsurprising, they should make a backup copy of the old one and leave it read-only.
If you looking for old information, the old Airtable forums are still accessible via the Internet Archive site:

Worst part is when you google to try to solve an Airtable problem, and the results are all community forums, and you can’t load them :smiling_face_with_tear:

It is understandable that one gets annoyed due to the loss of this resource. But a little compassion and patience are in order here. It cannot be easy to do all they are doing and still change out a help system. I agree that they should have planned to have a read only copy available for research. But I know that I cannot produce the product they produce. I use it every day and I am in awe of what they have accomplished. I am sure that there are things that can be improved and I have a long lists of wants. But all in all, if you spent your life using MS Access, you would thank your lucky stars that Airtable exists. As I said, this world could use a littel more compassion. Best, Scott
