Mark older engines as such

Sometimes we get new comers posting in TGE/TGEA forums.

Maybe mark these forums so its clear they are for older engines.

Not a bad idea. What's the most accurate term?

Old
Legacy
Discontinued
Unsupported
Classic

Legacy would be the best fit.

"Decrepit?"
"Geriatric?"

I'm leaning toward legacy since it's more fitting. Will that make sense to a newcomer?

Yes I like Legacy, but Geriatric is also good.

It also could be good for some addons? Not sure but I think GreenEar is Legacy now.

Those we can't really mess with the naming because those are for other people's products and there are contractual obligations in place for the forums of those products.

Is there a list of reason why they cant be listed as discontinued and archive forums where nobody is allowed to post anymore?

Alternatively you could disable posting unless you are an owner of said products but allow anybody to read.

This would be for GG products only of course if there are contractual obligations... sounds weird but ok.

Oh, you could list torsion as "dont post here nobody cares, no updates, and enjoy your $40 bug pile"
