(For me) Platinum's longevity is tied to this Forum
Let's face it. If Windows 10 updates haven't broken Sonar 8.5 it is probably not going to break Platinum. IMO. However, while viewing YouTube videos of Studio One and Reaper, it occurred to me how dependent I am on this forum. When I Google an issue/problem with Sonar, the top hits are all Cakewalk forum posts. Or, if I post a question, I usually get an answer. The Forum is key to me. It is great for vetting mixes of my songs but I can find another forum for that. I still don't know how to use a Patch Point as it is not an issue right now.
Basically, I think I'm going to have questions for a long time and need to have a Forum that is still online with people that have used or are still using SPLAT. Not to mention a Forum that has huge backlog that contains thousands of pages of questions and answers. We're not going to get that by creating a new Cakewalk Forum. If this forum goes away and/or other users move on, eventually I will too.

Yep, this forum has been great and a fantastic community of mostly friendly people and staff. It has been very much a part of the Sonar experience for me. Forums for other DAWs don't seem to have anything on this.
Splat, Win 10 64bit and all sorts of musical odds and sods collected over the years, but still missing a lot of my old analogue stuff I sold off years ago.

I fully agree. This forum is a goldmine. It was also a major talking/selling point in a lot of articles I read discussing SONAR. You'll be hard pressed to find another software package with such an active, engaged community.
Dell Precision T5400, 2 Xeon E5420 CPUs, 32 GB ram, 1 X 750 GB HDD, 2 X 1TB HDD, Nvidia GTX750 , M-Audio 1010LT, Roland GR-55, Novation SL MKII 49 , Arturia MiniLab, Arturia Spark Creative Drum Controller, '77 Gibson Les Paul Artistan, Epiphone Les Paul Studio w/ GK-3, Fender Stratocaster, Dean Exotica Acoustic, Cakewalk Sonar Platinum Lifetime, Arturia Synths galore!, Cakewalk Synths galore!, M-Audio BX-5a monitors, a couple of cheap mikes, a dubious quality desk, several shady characters hanging in the studio, etc....

I'd like to see the forum archived for future reference and hosted elsewhere or made available for public to host elsewhere so that when it inevitably goes down, we'll still have access to the information without having to worry about reliability of something like waybackmachine.

StudioCat > I use Windows 10 and Sonar Platinum. I have a touch screen. I make some videos. This one shows how to do a physical loopback on the RME UCX to get many more equalizer nodes.

There are other good forums, but this one is the most knowledgeable and fun. If they close this one down, there are already other sonar forums, this community will survive, and so will sonar 2017.10.

To lose all the accumulated knowledge here, not just about Sonar but for all the audio know-how here, would be a real travesty. Is there a way to preserve, what, 15 years of threads? Who would and legally could do it? It gives me agita just thinking about it!
We'll not risk another frontal assault-that rabbit's dynamite!!!

This is exactly what bothers me too. I am quite optimistic about people being equally active in new forum (seems merge of Plan B and Beyond CW is inevitable) but how to transfer all the historical content that has been accumulated here ? Wish Bakers clarify that
Windows 10/64, Intel i7 Xeon X6575 3,07GHz, 24Gb RAM, chipset: Intel X58 Express, Kingston SSD 240Gb, Sonar Platinum ∞, Edirol UA-25. ( Some extra VSTs: PSP almost all/ IK - AT4, ST3, / AAS - all/ TH3 full/ +10dB/ Melodyne Editor). EVE sc205 monitors, Defil Kosmos guitar, blue lava lamp, ashtray. And there is some great music you may find at: https://soundcloud.com/pawel-jan-1
