I will bring the girls.

Relaxed mind and body perform better.

Speaking seriously, anyone (myself included) with right connections in the hosting/datacenter industry could easily afford to run the site/forum/database out of his own pocket and keep it vendor/ad-free. However, I imagine that the site's current owners would ask a pretty penny (6-7 figures estimated) just "for the brand" making the takeover financially infeasible for any enthusiastic individual or community.

We can organize some crowd funding and I am sure we can find that pretty penny for takeover ^^

TBH, anyone with MSDN subscription to his name having 150$ monthly credit in Azure could do it :) no connections needed

Great to see so much entrepreneurial spirit in this thread. Interesting times ahead for this hobby!

We had some fun, time to move on and maybe close the topic? It was April Fool's prank so...

 

I will end up this with the quotation half serious, half joke "We [XOC ocers] are like those milky cows and our grass is getting thinner and thinner :banana:"
