"I hope now that the site isn't pressed to make money".. it is the opposite ,right? now they have to make revenue and profit because they are independent

  Or… they could just run the site for free. It’s not expensive if they make everything static files.

    The main purpose of the site is the discussion forum, which can't be a static site.

      $1000 a month on servers would do it. They could probably do something premium $10/m to pay for it.

      Forums can be run fairly cheaply if you want.

    They aren't going to run the site for free. They need to earn revenue from it to stay afloat and earn a living. They will monetize it somehow - ads, subscriptions of some sort, some other manner. Maybe they will sell it outright and move on to some new venture. But they will find a way to monetize it now they are not getting salaries from Stripe.

      They can draw salaries from somewhere else and use a portion of that to run the site for free.
