Did something change with how to migrate questions to another stackoverflow website? The close reasons disappeared. Or is the ability to migrate questions gone now?

Yes, we just changed the workflow:
Step 1:
Step 2:
You see our dialog was not scaling to a ba-zillion close reasons. Migrated questions are always by-definition off-topic, so they get a new shiny area.

I could swear that it wasn't like that yet, when I asked the question (because I already thought something like this and changed every option). Well, thanks for the answer :)– pokeCommented Oct 14, 2010 at 8:22

3The text to off-topic in step 1 really ought to give a hint about the possibility to migrate in step 2; this is by absolutely no means abvious from just seeing the step 1 page!– hlovdalCommented Dec 5, 2010 at 2:27

so, if I realize that my question is better on say serverfault, I must vote myself to close it and flag it as off-topic? No other self-humiliation steps? You guys are not creative enough. E.g. replacing my avatar with "I'm an idiot" is relevant too :)– davkaCommented May 26, 2011 at 13:28

1What do I do if the question is already closed as off topic?– AnnanFayCommented Dec 20, 2011 at 18:27

4how do you migrate it to a site that doesn't show up in that list, for example drupal.stackexchange.com?– uweCommented Jan 2, 2012 at 3:23

and to migrate to a site not on the list, see meta.stackexchange.com/questions/91381/…– flodelCommented Dec 9, 2012 at 13:46

When I click the "flag" link on a question, there is now no "off-topic" option, only the following: spam; rude or abusive; should be closed; a duplicate; very low quality; in need of moderator intervention. AFAICT, the correct workflow is now to click "should be closed > off-topic because". This then brings up a list of migration targets.– user136089Commented Jul 27, 2018 at 18:19
