The HCSB and what happened?

ByTheSpirit said:

So I was out of the church for some years and noticed that the HCSB no longer exists. Or rather was replaced by the CSB, which I'm not a super huge fan of. I can't seem to find too many reasons for why the HCSB was discontinued other than it seemed that people weren't big fans of the way it translated things like Yahweh (instead of LORD) or slave (instead of servant). From that angle is appears the SBC (which I gather was responsible for the HCSB and CSB) seems to have jumped on the woke-ism trend of translations (looking at you NIV) and that's disappointing. It did go more traditional I suppose so perhaps woke-ism isn't accurate, but still, disappointing, for now it seems the CSB is little different from most other translations out there. So why even bother?

Anyways, does anyone here know of any actual reasons the HCSB was replaced (or updated) to the CSB?
