We're not using this anymore so we should get rid of it at some point. Things to consider:

• Do we need to take any of the site backups with us?
• Are their any domains still hosing DNS there?
• Remove references to this in the handbook
• Should we move old.meltano.com to another location/do we still need this?

@aaronsteers It's probably time to re-visit this since we're no longer using it. Is this something the SRE should take on or should we take care of it before they start?

Todos:

• [ ] Take a backup of logs
• [ ] Take a full backup of website files (both www and /blog)
• [ ] Get a MySQL backup
• [ ] Go into old blog and create a backup from within WordPress
• [ ] Make sure old.meltano.com DNS entry is deleted (I think I already did this but will double check)
• [ ] Figure out where backups like this should live. S3/Glacier seems best in this case. Afaik we got everything we needed from the old website and haven't referenced it or the logs in a while. I think it would be okay to delete these backups if we don't touch them for a year. Completely open to deleting them sooner or later (or never) depending on how people feel about it.

@afolson - Yes, I would be okay with moving forward on this but may be difficult to prioritize. From looking at the list, it seems this could be an 8 to do the needed wind-down.

Cc @tayloramurphy for prioritization consideration

@afolson @aaronsteers It's been 6 months since we originally opened this and we haven't needed to use anything from it at all. I don't think we need anything that's still on there and could likely just yeet it completely.
