I'm a beginner with nod_rewrite too, but this seems a simple one, so let 
me try :

1) RewriteEngine on
2) RewriteLog /path-to-logfile
3) RewriteLogLevel 3
4) RewriteRule ^/site/(.*)$ /$1 [PT,L]

(Lines 2 and 3 so that you can follow what happens, in the named 
logfile.  When it works, set RewriteLogLevel back to 0).

I did not include the "www.exemple.com" part, because that is not part 
of the URL.
The "PT" flag is so that, if you later decide to alias /community to 
something else, it will still do it.
The "L" flag is there to say that once that replacement is done, you 
don't want any other RewriteRule to do something else to the result.
