[Forum] Make forum Read Only

[Mermaid]

Apologies if this was covered somewhere else.

Can I make the forum Read Only? Apart from going into all the usergroup settings?

I want to do this instead of turning the forum off while upgrading.

Pretty much what you'll get if you have CLOUDFLARE service on your site. When working on your site turn your forum off and CloudFlare will serve a read-only cached version of your site. Same if your site or server are down for any reason. You'll get added security and spam protection too.
