In my experience, if you provide a link, people will click on it -- so I'm concerned that keeping the old link around will lead to more bugs getting reported on SF when they really should be reported on GitLab. But here's what I've done: I've updated the https://www.freedos.org/bugs/ page to emphasize that people should use the GitLab tracker. I have three boxes on this page: "Bug tracker on GitLab" and "Report by email" are the preferred ones. The "Bug archive on SourceForge" box is the one we want to close out, but still has bugs in it. The "Bug tracker on GitLab" box has a big blue button labeled "Report a bug" The "Bug archive on SourceForge" box now has gray text, and the link is now crossed out (line-through) instead of underlined. This is bad accessibility, because it doesn't look like a link now -- but we don't want people to just click on it, so I guess that's okay for now. If we find that people are still creating bugs in the SF tracker, I'll remove the link from this page.
