Could Hehe put in the $1500 seed money that can generate $60/yr for the annual fee. That's like just pocket change from CNY red envelope money.

I was faced with a very similar situation last year. I own and operate a private vBulletin-based forum for my close friends. The traffic isn't very high anymore as many of us have other priorities, but we all agreed to keep the forum alive. A string of events lead to us having to upgrade the old vBulletin forum for a variety of reasons.
First, the host we were using stopped supporting the version of MySQL, so the forum was bricked, much like the errors some of you experienced the other day. Second, the PHP version became unsupported, adding more salt to the wound. In a panic, we had to find a new web host and upgrade to the new version of vBulletin, at a very high cost. The upgrade came with some of its own headaches, but we managed to sort it out. However, the overall look, feel, and user environment was not the same, and I feel that pushed people to visit the forum less and less. Had I known about the Xenforo forum software, I would have gone that route. It was created by the original team who started vBulletin.
In the end, it's a lot of work to manage an online community, especially a forum of this nature. I genuinely hope the forum stays alive as it has been a very meaningful part of my life and I am thankful to everyone who has posted on the forums over the past 20+ years.

$60/y, even if it's USD is hardly a huge amount of money. I'm sure some rich mofos can afford that given they just blew 17k on a new Tesla

If we do this forum upgrade, will we finally have the ability to block post visibility to randoms (people who aren't logged in)? And to block new registration for anyone who isn't vouched for?
And I guess this means the forum database stays intact?

That's basically how it is now for registrations. Nobody has contacted to join yet though
Maybe after the update everyone can remind some old members that it's still around, and will be mobile friendly for once

Ok, I'd love to chip in to keep the forum alive, provided post visibility is blocked for people who aren't logged in.
Otherwise yeah I think I'd prefer Discord or Whatsapp or something. Seems kinda creepy for unknown randoms to just go through everything. Esp now that it's a smaller group of folks, which has made the content more personal.

Whoever wants to chip in, PM me and I'll keep an accounting of everything on a thread in the mod forum. I can accept interac. It'll be $255 USD (so $355 CAD)
I'll also keep track of it anonymously in this post, so you can see where we are in donations:
1) $50 ($305)
2) $20 ($285)
3) $30 ($255)

If this forum dies again. At least ban me one more time
On a serious note, maybe registration needs to open again, with a couple anti-spam filters for sign up. As others have said, we are down to a fraction of users, and you can see it tailing off every few weeks

You trying to say you don't want investment advice from a stranger?!?
Those scammers invade WhatsApp groups.....it's rather annoying as I generally don't silence notifications on my WhatsApp.

This forum is fascinating.
In some posts you have guys bragging about retiring at 40, poopooing the latest Lambo cause ugly, claiming to be big ballers, yet stringing $300 to keep a forum alive is like pulling teeth.
Funny that.

It's harder for people to come out to a car meet and make a charitable donation to a social cause such as the BC Children's Hospital Foundation unless a bet was made!

There are open source alternatives, but maintaining the infrastructure is probably more work than just paying for a cloud hosted solution at our age.
I do like the idea of Discord since you can create channels much like the subforums, but the use of threads aren't very good last time I checked and I also don't know how many people actually use Discord on RS.
Private subreddits could work, but seeing comments in a reddit thread wouldn't bump the post to the the top of the subreddit like vBulletin. And sorting comments sucks.
I'm in favour of migrating to another cloud platform.
