Why was the Home Assistant forum thread archived?

[jpbaril]

I stumbled on HA-Paneld thread on HA's forum and discovered the amazing project and wanted to say how great it is but then I realized the forum thread was archived and thus we cannot post there anymore.
I'm puzzled because that would probably help the project if the thread had stayed open.

Thanks for flagging this and the HA forum thread was not locked or archived on purpose but It's possible it happened by accident 😕

I will try message the forum admins and if that does not work then will start a new thread

It took me a while to fix this but turns out I moved the thread to a category (HADashboard) that is a long dead, more than 6 years, product.

I needed an admin to fix it for me but at least I know why the inbound traffic to the project had dried up. I'm better at coding than marketing so I need all the help I can get for people to discover what, IMHO, is a good solution to a real problem.
