Did you respond in the thread the owners posted months ago about selling?
There was also an ATS working group setup to save ATS ATS Working Group
I believe the cost to run this runs into the tens of thousands a month. So one off donations of 20$ aren't going to solve anything.
If someone wants to seriously buy it they should email the owners, group/fan ownership is not going to work at this point. You'd be better off buying the site outright and then asking for donations/donors/investors etc
How could a message board cost tens of thousands a month? There is no add revenue?
But to revive it as a business would require a sustained revenue model to fund infrastructure and code base improvements -- even before we look to alternative revenue methods. In order to afford the necessary expenditures, which would be months-long, we'd need a minimum of $25,000/month. That's not suddenly happening with donations or subscriptions.

It would be amazing to have a real life Alien as the owner of ATS.
