I think part of OP’s issue is that “they” (the main Godot developer) is starting a for-profit business that directly profits from the community’s goodwill. OP themselves is paying hundreds of dollars a month to run the forums not to mention the time investment. I can understand the frustration of seeing the community languish while the main focus turns to a for-profit enterprise.
The OP has only been in control of paying for the server for a few months. They only took over May 15th.
The original owner only paid a few hundred dollars per year for hosting the forums. Whatever the OP is doing that is making it cost hundreds of dollars per month is on them...
Furthermore, why did the OP take over control of the forums only a few months ago if they have been feeling this way about Godot since 2020?
