DIY means DIY

As August approaches and Ning switches over to a paid service...a decision must be made.

Ning is worth $2.95 a month. Is keeping UAVDRONES on Ning worth 2.95 a month?

XmegaPilot (and various other supporting reasearch activities) has not benefited
from the open invitation for collaborative development that a social network can provide.

I believe the decision is clear.
