Trouble being the contents here. My home country, germany, it's particularly troublesome regarding the age of pornography. Such that any art, fiction or story with someone not yet at the age of legalese adulthood incurs a minimum jailtime of one year (yeah and within the second they turn 18 it's suddenly all fair game and nude beaches also, lol).

Right. My thoughts too. Just a simple webpage hosting service comes at like 5 EUR/USD a month, probably sufficient to run the futanari palace (I assume just PHP, MySQL, Email are being required for this Forum, as is usual for a MyBB installation). Additionally some 10-20 EUR/USD for the domain per year.
We had already taken steps to purge that content during the migration from the old site to myBB - to my knowledge, everything that could have put this site at risk was removed during the migration. When you become owner, you will be free to take further action to remove and prohibit such content as you see fit.
You will also be free to migrate over to cheaper alternatives. It was difficult enough for us to do the one partially successful migration, and we lost the technical knowledge needed to do anything further. Hence the site lingering with only partial functionality since then. If you can run this site cheaper and better, then you may be the best possible future for this historic community.
ADDITIONALLY, several people have offered one-time donations to keep the site going. This may be an opportunity to do a fundraising drive for the hand-off so that you can implement upgrades, new features, or just bank it to pay for future costs.
