LeRoy,

sasCommunity.org was founded by the SAS Global Users group, and a volunteer advisory board has maintained and guided it over the past decade. SAS Institute plays a small role in the logistics of the site workings. But the contributors have come from all over the SAS user community.

While some of the volunteer board members have retired, the decision to decommission the site has more to do with its declining amount of visitors and contributions (a trend over several years). While the site currently hosts some popular and unique content, the amount of *new* content has diminished -- probably due to the rising use of the other channels that I mentioned in my article. I think everyone recognizes that it's a Good Thing that so many SAS users are making use of available options like SAS Support Communities, GitHub, LinkedIn, and more -- but all of that means that sasCommunity.org has a smaller audience. The decision was made to ensure a responsible transition of the content. We've all seen examples of websites that fall into disrepair and cause confusion by their continued presence in a changing world, and none of us want that for this site.
