tbf this is a really similar situation to what happened with the Football 365 forum after Sky sold it to some dodgy South African company called 'Ole Media' with a business model which sounded very similar to that of 'Cloudstrike Ventures'.
It quickly became clear Ole Media weren't at all interested in maintaining the forum, beyond figuring out ways to load more and more adverts onto it, even if the adverts broke longstanding functions like being able to view your own post history. Everyone struggled along on there for a couple of years after the takeover until a rumour cropped up which suggested Ole were planning on permanently closing the forum down. At that point a few more technically adept posters offered to set up a new message board if the server and hosting costs could be crowdfunded. A few days later after loads of posters chipped in and raised a couple of grand, the new forum was launched and most users migrated over straight away.
The new 365 forum's been going for about a year and a half now, and it's a million times better than the hunk of shite Ole Media were previously running. It also turned out the imminent closure rumours weren't actually true, but they did hilariously mean Ole Media were left without any users to show adverts to. About a year later they eventually ended up closing the original forum down as nobody was visiting it anymore, so a lesson for Cloudstrike Ventures there if they've bought up this place with the intention to run it into the ground in a similar fashion.
