Bill Swallow writes about what the closing of the STC forums means and I totally agree with him (see Thoughts on Closing STC Forum):
Third, to shut the forum down and not capture the content herein for use in the replacement service if/when it’s available is short-sighted. The Board has decided to leave it to chance that any useful information in the Forum will be found and captured by a concerned member before taken offline.
And this also is clearly not what technical communicators should do in the real world. Deleting without archiving is just not good information management.
