I'm not quite sure what service they are talking about.
It's kind of sad, but I feel like it had been in decline for a few years, and the AI sponsor was an ill-advised last attempt to hang on.
I took part from 2003. The last time I wrote was 2014, I think, but I joined up for a few more years, thinking about it and then deciding I didn't have time. We had a nice local community that met all year round, and that also faded away in the late 2010s.
I don't know if a new generation was coming up, but "all" the nonprofit really needed to do was provide a website and a focal point. I guess content moderation will always be a problem for communities of that size. The regional forums were all run by volunteers, if I remember right.
