Another forum that I have been on for 15 years or so has a voluntary donation gig, it has kept it afloat for the last decade or so. A lot of the regulars (Including me) donate on a semi regular basis. Occasionally things get a bit thin and a bit more of a deliberate donation drive is done. People always step up when that happens.
I personally detest Facebook for the kind of function that forum sites have always been around for, mainly as you have to go looking for the content you want and convince the FB algo to actually show it to you. Recently it has been feeding me a steady diet of advertising and AI produced dross and finding the actual user content I actually want is near impossible. I would hate to see a site like this replaced by that experience, even if I am not on here as much as I used to be.
