Agreed, although "closed" sites are no different in that respect to
opinions in self-published papers...
Another issue I omitted with regard to privately supported operations
is persistence of a different kind - how many such sites/pages from
(e.g.) even 10 years ago are still there, and how many of today's
sites will be still there in 10 years' time??
Already in IRMNG (which has been only going 10 years) some significant
sources I utilized - including the results of publicly funded research
projects then disseminated via e.g. University department sites - have
since disappeared. Future proofing is definitely an issue to consider
(which in part also underpins the move of IRMNG from CSIRO, where I no
longer am, to VLIZ).
