Mr Curlee,
I tried to find an email link to message you but could not.

I dont know if this would go against your personal ethics or not, as I do not know you...
But my suggestion is to possibly open up a PayPal donation account. You can set up a link and people can donate what they wish to your website to help with the costs of maintainence, paying for the servers, your own personal fees, etc.
I have a strong feeling people would be willing to donate for the use of the board, to help to keep it up, as they would not want to see it go.
It would not be like charging for use like a paysite as people would be doing it of their own free choice. I have seen many other websites do this to help keep their websites running.

You would obviously be more aware of the numbers of visitors you have on the weekly or monthly basis, but if a fraction of these people donated $5-10, and Im sure some would donate more...This would help out with your overhead costs a bit.

Just an idea!

Good luck with keeping your site up and with the publication of your time tables and future endeavors!
Salud!
