I meant no disrespect by saying it looked like a hobby project. I have lots of hobbies, FRC used to be one of them. FRC Spyder started as and arguably still is a hobby project (though see my earlier post about how things don't always stay fun). The key factor here, though, is that if I get bored of any of my hobbies and stop supporting them it doesn't really harm anyone else's work. The creators of the First Alliance website are pitching it as a service around which
other people should build their own sites or apps (which are also likely hobbies). Now you have a tricky situation where if the TFA folks get tired of the hobby and neglect it or shut it down, they're hurting other people's work too. That's my concern here.
I'll try to stay out of this thread from here on out. Best of luck to TFA, and any other services built around it.
