I visited this site after October 2017 and all of the old questions were gone. What happened?

As discussed at https://osqa-ask.wireshark.org/questi..., the old version of this site ran on OSQA, which is no longer maintained and showing its age. As a result we migrated ask.wireshark.org to Askbot, which is a newer, better-maintained fork of OSQA.

The old site has lots of valuable content, but it also has thousands upon thousands of bot-created spam accounts. We moved it to https://osqa-ask.wireshark.org and have disabled account registration. Additionally, we've redirect links for old questions to osqa-ask.
