As an admin on a large forum on another site, I know what it costs to run something like this. The problem here is the average poster does not know the annual or monthly cost. If the cost is known then things can move forward.

And if nothing is done, then all of this disappears. I recommend a download of everything to cloud storage, with access, if the other options are not workable.

I e-mailed the "Contact Us" at the bottom of the page and inquired about the costs to buy the forum but have not received any reply.

It really doesnt cost much to run a forum like this. ask me how i know. Should be the cost of a nice family lunch once a month. ( There is the startup cost of buying the software license in the first place. )

However, the real cost is in the personal time that the administrator has to invest.. and the stress of the site going down once in a while. The cost of the human minutes cannot be priced. and hence i understand Ruy's decision. there comes a point where you cant put a price on your time.
