Answered questions from ROS and Gazebo Answers were previously migrated to Robotics Stack Exchange.
In order to preserve the unmigrated questions we have exported the remaining data from each site instance and rendered them in static sites.
As the year comes to a close we are now switching over to the static archives. Questions which were migrated to Stack Exchange will be redirected to the question’s new home. Whereas those which were not will be shown on a static page.
I will update the thread here when the DNS cut-over is complete, and again when the old Askbot sites are taken offline. Due to the nature of DNS, some individuals may continue to see DNS responses including the old server locations and thus see the old Askbot sites or error pages.
Please do not report this as it is an expected and inevitable part of this migration. Once we are confident that DNS changes have fully propagated we’ll request information from anyone still experiencing unexpected DNS resolution.
Thanks for the report. This looks like an inconsistency in our exported metadata which can be corrected. We likely won’t fix this until returning from end-of-year holidays but I don’t think there’s any risk of permanent data loss. For one, we still have the old askbot instances for now, and we have full exports of the askbot databases which were used for both the Stack Exchange migration and the export for generating these static sites.
