Quoted from Compy:I don't think this calls for a downvote. You're asking some very very good questions. I have businesses that are centered around pinside for sales, and as such, we donate or pay marketplace fees to them for the audience. We will absolutely continue to do so. It just reinforces the fact that we need diversity of both a web frontend and the pinside marketplace to sell our product.
Some things, like "ordering a new server" this day and age for a site that is one (or many) people's primary source of income is still one hell of a head scratcher for me. Especially when cloud offerings exist that solve (lack of) redundancy issues. But hey, everyone's a site reliability engineer in hindsight The good news is we all learn and move on!

Cloud hosting has its own problems. I work with AWS and Azure and I’ve seen plenty of outages and disasters in both commercial and federal clouds. It’s also not always cost effective versus hosting yourself.
Robin could still implement redundancy (or more feasibly, failover) and still host himself. There’s also plenty of backup strategies for backing up a forum like this to S3 or Azure Storage.
