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.

I missed out on contributing. Couldn’t read a post for 2-3 days. I’ll contribute when the annual fee comes up.

We're still waiting on 3 more payments out of the 8 who pledged. I don't want to bother people with reminders so soon, but I'll send some out tomorrow since there are others like you who are eager to take their place

Out of curiosity how much does RS bring in via ads especially as so many people use ad blockers? Is the cost to run this site low enough that we can just crowd source the funds needed to keep it around?

I would springboard on top of that to ask what the roadmap is for Revscene. Is the intention to keep the forum open to only existing users? Or are there plans to revive it back to its former glory?

It's unlikely there's enough population to go back to it's former glory. Discord is actually not a bad choice as we don't really create new threads much anymore, we can just have the various channels corresponding to the various popular threads.

Ya I'll throw in too if needed.
TBH if we moved to a Discord or something, I'd say most people would bounce.

Let's say $150 a month?
At the risk for embarassing myself, this is a VERY rough guess, and it's more likely i'm wrong than right, but here goes anyways.
similarweb stats show RS gets about 13k visits a month, and about 6 pages per visit.
Each page delivers 3 ad impressions on average.
So that's roughly 234k ad impressions.
Adsense pays anywhere from $0.20 to $2.00 per thousand impressions so that works out to $50 to $450 a month.
So let's say $150. Just a wild guess though.

Maybe it's just me, but I like the fact RS has stuck to the old forum style. I'm already glued to my phone for so many other things. My desktop gives me a bit of a break and that's the only place I look at RS.
RS was successful because of a perfect storm of factors, but mostly common interests and the prevailing technology at the time. Times have changed too much to try and revive that.
If we wanted to modernize it and open up to new members, like someone else said, may as well just start a subreddit.

Well to be clear, the only motivation to modernize is that the forum is starting to fall apart (Skinny's been cobbling stuff together in the back end, and it's barely holding together with duct tape). Not just falling apart as in loading slower or ceasing to function, but also that there are unpatched exploits and we're increasingly being hacked - it just happened again a couple of weeks ago.
So if our motivation is just to keep stuff running, I think it should be akin to picking up a new Camry to replace our 25 year old Camry, rather than updating to an ES500h.
For example, I'm on rivianforums.com. It doesn't look that different to RS:

I say no to discord. If RS needs some money find a on demand merch drop shipper and sell some really overpriced merch. I would buy some really overpriced RS gear.
