Personally maintained? The site is owned by a user group with more than 1000 members and several web masters.

I direct people to where I know they will find the answer. Tom Kyte refers people to places he knows contain the answer. So does Jonathan and so do you. The posts are to answer a specific question posted by someone with code demos that cost them nothing and do not expose them to marketing materials. If you create a site with equal value I would be happy to direct them there too.
