As far as TI vs HP. I've ran into several people who own or have owned HP's and every one wanted one for various reasons. I've ran into people that have had Ti's because they had to buy one for a class, I've yet to meet anyone who wanted to own a Ti. So I think that makes a difference in the community support.

For the torrent. See the hp41 dvd (that is mentioned in the hpcalc page), it has some issues of the journal.

For TI. Yes I know what you mean but maybe it happens because there are really a lot of TI users. Nevertheless their communities produce interesting information as well. For example:

https://www.cemetech.net/forum/viewforum.php?f=50 (contests, really nice)
https://www.cemetech.net/forum/viewforum.php?f=4 (projects. More often than not a "I will do X" and then nothing. But sometimes really nice ideas)
https://www.cemetech.net/forum/viewforum.php?f=19 (programming in ti-basic. Often the topics are help questions but some are neat)
https://www.cemetech.net/forum/viewforum.php?f=75 (hey, also a section for us!)

(and I reported sections from only one of the many active TI forums)

Now, damn me, I do not have much time to dig in the TI forums, the MoHPC forums keep me quite busy already.
I also believe that some TI forums even got lost with all their contributions (and this unfortunately happens in general, see awk.info for example or the site of E. Kalinowski about HP informations and articles ).

Anyway the point is that in a large community one finds enthusiasts that then put a lot of effort to produce interesting results or discussions. In the TI community there are plenty of nice discussions. The problem (if it is a problem at all) is that the TI communities have even more "simple" discussions were people asks for help, we don't see this here because most of the requests ends up in the HP official forums*.

* the official forums contains as well a lot of interesting information but are really hard to browse and use.
