I was under the impression that it would stay up until 31 December, and then go read-only.

Emphasis mine.
If we can't see the old posts, how can we copy and edit for reposting? Or even suggest that mods move a thread over? For instance, I'd suggest Application Discovery Thread [formerly: app that does this?], but how would I know to suggest it if I can't see OTW, or at least have it in an open tab before OTW went dark?

Deadline means no later than. I'm tired of the back-and-forth, so I disabled it.
While I don't expect the back-and-forth to stop, it at least won't be due to something new related to OTW.

I'm not inclined to, but I won't object if another admin decides to make it r/o.
Per council vote, it is to be "unaccessible" after the 31st.

turtles,
OTW is alive and well under new management.
