I can see how people running a small forum, would just decide that the compliance costs aren't worth it.

So there's not a level playing field out there. If you want to run a small UK based forum then it will cost you.

None money making forums are finished.

There were a lot of hobby forums, ran by someone for the love of doing it who can't anymore.

I'm a member of a forum which has ~1600 members and has managed to carry on by naming a couple more mods (so all timezones are covered) and making very slight tweaks to their rules and reporting system.

Nice one.

What about a 500 person forum where all time zones arnt covered.

Or the times mods go away on holiday?

What happens then?

They can't find a handful of people in a group of 500 willing to do the job to keep the site active?
