@Earthliŋ I think you can only do that for certain pre-set migration paths, and I don't think there are currently any migration paths to beta sites

So what users can do is close as off-topic and leave a comment suggesting migration, or they can flag for migration, or both

@FriendlyGhost this is my attempt: 一生で一番{良い・楽しい}時は何ですか

I dont know if the 一番+adjective can be replaced with 最高(の) or not

@Flaw First one seems to drop a meaning of "Up to now" and "your"

意訳すると、あなたの一番の思い出は何ですか？とかになるのかな

「一番の思い出」って良し悪しには言及してないのに、「一番悪かった思い出」とは思わないのがおもしろい

I think context will fill in the missing "your"

@snailboat I see. I confused myself when writing an answer to this question

Q: 漢字についての質問はどこまでJLSEの範囲内ですか？

Why is the order of bottom-left radicals different for some kanji? 最近このような質問に回答したのですが、使った知識はすべて日本に伝わる以前の古代中国語・古漢字についてのものでした。ほかにも調べてみると、 What does 回 mean in 回答? Why does 熊 have 能 in it? Why does 語 contain 五? といった漢字の起源や形に関する質問の一部は、日本語の質問だと言い切るにはためらわれるところですし、日本語話者や日本語研究者だからといって答えやすい問題...
