Default Are astronomy groups changing with the rise of the Internet?

I'm looking for examples of non-traditional astronomy clubs, where there are no bylaws, no annual dues and no formal structure. Yet they have active members, regularly scheduled events and sell/trade equipment, just like traditional clubs.

Lots of groups are kind of like that. I am a member of some of them.

There was an article in a recent Sky & Telescope about just that kind of group that had formed in a high school. I'll try to find which issue and let you know, or you can search the archives of S & T.
