No new content can be created during this time, but all material in the system as of the beginning of the freeze will be migrated to the new platform, including users and groups.

Georgia's entertainment scene is exploding with film and television productions looking to shoot here, while the industry's nascent infrastructure — including the number of skilled workers available for hire — does its best to play catch-up.
For every skilled tradesman who retires in Georgia, only one new worker takes his place, so productions currently rely on an influx of workers from other states, like North Carolina, to round out their crew. Fortunately, a smattering of schools in the metro area offer programs in the entertainment industry, be it for feature films, television productions or new media like app design and video games.
