Asker mentions in a comment that graduated sounds better than launched and I agree.

Some people say that everything with a positive score is good quality. Voting seems to still take place to some extent and that should still ensure some kind of quality selection. It looks like there is still some activity, although considerably less than for example in March 2019. No moderation is not good of course, but another question would be if maybe the activity could go up again or which level of activity is regarded as healthy in the long run. I hope we can have more discussions about healthiness of sites. | |

| Jan 27, 2020 at 7:12 | comment | added | Mast | @yagmoth555 Deletion is a bit drastic indeed, but I can imagine putting a historic lock on an entire site so it no longer needs moderation yet the content remains available. Won't look good though, so they'll probably only provide the data dump of any next site that goes down, like Rand al'Thor indicates is what happening with previous closures. | |
| Jan 26, 2020 at 21:28 | comment | added | NoDataDumpNoContribution | Looks like the number of questions has been stable but the number of answers has roughly halved. We really need to invent some better measure of healthiness of a site. | |

| Jan 26, 2020 at 20:48 | comment | added | yagmoth555 | If questions still happen, it’s useful to some users, and who know how many old questions are still looked up. For that matter in my own idea a deletion would be a bad move, as people answered and put efforts to build a knowledge site | |
