  I didn't see any announcement that the SX Forum was going to be archived either. Those chips may be EOL but I don't see any reason to disable new posts in the support forum for those. Why not just leave it open for posting??

  That's just a link to the SX forum. I only remembered because of this post in the thread titled "Need help on SX Interrupts".

  They should re-open the SX forum. This message represents a spontaneous protest. (Rabble, rabble, rabble...)
  
  Also, the new beta parallax site no longer has the page with important SX and SX/B resources. This should come to their attention.

  Well, the truth is that they first hid the SX Forum and so nobody was really trying to write any replies anyway.
  
  I felt it was pretty much dead before this being shut out. To me it is obvious that Parallax feels the need to eliminate it for reasons that may not be known to us.
  
  I hate to see information disappear on the internet. And I have my doubts that www.sxlist.com is going to fill the gap as they already have a lot of broken links.

  Where exactly would you say we are?

  Even if it is EOL , it is still a semi active product. The are 151,532 in stock, not counting the thousands Parallax has stockpiled for the BS2 line.
  
  Still need some support, in my eyes.
