how much could a bill like this possibly be per month ?

if people are so interested in keeping the forums, you could try to ask for donations ?

I would guess it's expensive enough to get cut, right? People could donate, sure. It would still need dedicated resources. It's a popular enough service to need high concurrency and reasonably high availability - at least for peak usage, like when the new trailer for the next great trilogy drops.
