I looked at monetising. It wasn't what I wanted to do. The cause was more important to me. It entered a phase where as someone below said, it became a 'gossip rag'. But then it grew up and started being a trusted source in the town it serves. I never imagined I would have to go to the lengths criminals do just to keep me safe from my opinions.

Friendly reminder. Treat criminals the same way you want to be treated, because the line separating a good citizen from a criminal is very fuzzy at times.
Running an anonymous website is difficult. Running an anonymous website is difficult, where users are allowed to upload content that is posted on the site is even more difficult.
Do you do anything to monetize the site? That would be impossible, I think.
I would think a static site (just local html , imagesand as litle javascript as possible wuold be good.
Then finding a hosting enentity of some form outside of US / EU juristrition. Paying in cash without ever meeting. (Cash is harder to trace than bitcoin) (Depending on handover).
and ensure that the hosting provider flushes all logs every 5 mins or so.
Stragenluy I htink part of the package would be to flush teh site in a second if it became needed
