I am getting ready to perform a migration of SharePoint 2007 to 2010, and during the migration horus, i will want to prevent anyone form adding content anywhere, but yet I would like for people to read the content. Is there a way to make the sharepoint 2007 site read only?

Steps to make SharePoint site read-only. Go to Central Admin > Application Management > Configure quotas and locks. Select the site collection which should be read-only and select the “Read-Only” radio button. Click OK.
Open the site and ensure you can add contents. Go to Central Administration and select "Application Management" > "Configure quotas and locks". In the page that appears, choose the site collection and select the option Read-only. Enter the lock information and click the "Ok" button to continue.
Navigate to the site collection that you want to make Read Only >> Click on Settings Gear and then Site Settings Menu item. Click on “Site Policies” under Site Collection Administration. Provide a Name to your Policy, say for e.g. “Read only”, optionally the Description.
Try:
stsadm -o setsitelock -url http://server_name -lock noaccess
That will help you set the site collection to read-only
