Put your foot down. This rant here is basically what your community needs to hear.
If they still make unreasonable demands, then give up on it. Might seem bad first to abandon something you build up and have been involved for so long, but it seriously sounds like you would be better off without it. -
Crowd is always stupid and ignorant. You should not let them take you for granted.

Linux438197yI am in the same position, almost.
I am the IT guy in my community but I am having trouble getting any response for issues that needs to be adressed. Only when stuff goes down is the time when I am importand and matter. -
@Linux yea I can really understand you.
If everything runs fine most of the people take it for granted.
When the shit gets down the drain, everbody complains. I only meet a small few of nice guys in my life, which really tried to help.
I always offered my guys to teach them Server Management and programming. I was always ready to show them how everything works, so maybe they can start their IT Career.
Mostly I got a response with cool, yea sure or someday, but nobody really took the offer so far.
This summer I will begin, beside my fulltime job, a higher schoolarship as a IT Business Analyst for 3 years. I hope that I will find some guys like me there, which really enjoy this stuff.
2017 has ended and I want to throw this fucking rock of anger with it out of the Window.
I will tell you how my last 3 to 4 years as private IT Guy (IT Dumpster) for everything was.
My Gaming Community:
It was so fucking retarded that I would like to punch everyone there in the face over a thousand times.
Seriously there are over 60 People in that Community and they take every shit for granted and only cry about everything.
I'm Paying since 4 Years over 60 € for our Server every month. Some people donated some small bucks over the time and in the end it was around 150 € Donations over 4 years.
Im thankful for the Donations, but these people really think that they can demand for this Donations private Gameservers for over years for free or think that they now own the Servers. WTF?? FUCK YOU!!
Im managing 2 Linux Server with Web, MySQL, Voice and Gameserver. What did 1 guy donate? 10 € for 4 years, thats around 15% for just a month. You would get our Teamspeak for 7 Days for that price idiots!!
I did all the damn Webdev and am now writing a App in Kotlin for Android man!!
Since last everybody in the Community gets on my nerves, because they are so ignorant and dont appreciate the work of others 😡.
My Association where I support the hole IT with a friend:
We decided in the commitee that we would take on major changes in our infrastructure.
We need to finish the barebone concept in the end of January 18.
Early December 17 I wrote my friend, that we need to have a meeting and plan everything.
Well, now I mostly designed the roadmap by myself and didnt receive any reply from my friend 💀.
I really dont understand why the shit always sticks at me and I need to finish it.
I really love to code something, install or repair PC's with joy or manage Server but the people around me are in my free time like poison and they take out my fun for it.
The only fun and enjoyable IT Part for me is at my fulltime job. Thats the only good place left for me as Safe Heaven and the people there really appreciate my knowledge and work I do.
