I suspect most of the issues reported here are from the migration? Perhaps you should freeze posts and put a top sticky with just official updates?

I thought of this too. They did it with much smaller outage a few weeks ago, so I don't think it would be a bad idea.
Not all of the support requests are related to the migration and upgrades.
There are many other issues which can and are being resolved in the Free Hosting Forum.
Corey's post discussing the migration and upgrade issue is sticky, is being read by many people, and is substantially reducing the number of new threads related to migration / upgrade issues.
When it reopened there was about a million billion people asking for help all at once.
I don't mind answering peoples questions (it's literally a case of copying an answer from thread to thread), but last time it had been happening for quite a long time and was getting boring.

I agree with Alex Mac. There are questions other than 'my site doesn't work'.

Most of use don't care if it's different questions, but when there are about 100 or so people all asking at the same time the same question, it can get on your nerves.

I think members must read thread at least with the topic similar to their problem before posting a new thread for the problem which is just answered in some other thread. To freeze support isn't a better idea.
