100% agreed. I've been an involved enthusiast in different hobbies (Classic cars, radio etc) for many years.
Private IT resources are the way to go. It always saddens me when a good group hitches their wagon to a for-profit information resource, because not everyone in the group is willing to be part of the commercial process.
Personally, I don't care to make advertisers rich while enjoying a hobby with my friends.
Remember: If you use an IT resource that is 'free', then _you_ are the Product.
Keep it private.
