Seems like this idea is well within the capability of one person to run and moderate it for free / fun in their spare time.

I believe this to be erroneous.

"... for free/fun in their spare time."?

My respect for dang is enormous. I would love a peek behind the curtain. I have no idea how this site maintains the quality it does. I see only a fraction of the work Dan does and I can only think he lives in some weird quantum bubble where he has 489 hours in every day.
Absolutely not. Even a facebook group of < 100k is too much work for a single person to manage especially if it is discussion based.
