Archive the Media Corps Make blog

[desrosj]

The Media Corps experiment ​has officially ended.

The site should remain publicly accessible for historical reference. But since this is no longer an active effort, it should:

• no longer be listed as an option on the home page
• have comments closed for all posts
• not be available for cross posting
• no new posts should be allowed

no longer be listed as an option on the home page

Done. Removed from ​https://make.wordpress.org/wp-admin/edit.php?post_type=make_site

have comments closed for all posts

Enabled:
Automatically close comments on old posts: Close comments when post is how many days old: 1

not be available for cross posting

Hrrmm.. Edited the site in Make network admin and unchecked Public.

That's added <meta name='robots' content='noindex, nofollow' /> to the site, which I think I'm fine with.

Archiving the site makes it inaccessible to browse publicly. Same marking it as deleted.

Our o2 cross-posting groups things by public though, so by marking it as not-public means that it won't show as a cross-posting location from public o2's, but it WILL show for private sites... private sites don't really use cross-posting though, and I can't imagine someone would try to crosspost from one of those to a media site...

no new posts should be allowed

Removed all users from posting roles, changed to subscribers. Super-admins still have access as expected.

We might want to look at other options to better handle this kind of archive state in future... maybe by making Multisite Archived publicly viewable but using that to force read-only..
