Have you considered handing off the forums to someone based outside of the UK? I'm sure you might be able to find a reasonable steward and divest without leaving your users stranded. You've worked very hard and have something to be proud of, I would hate to see it go.

There’s several stories of open source projects being handed off to someone who seemed helpful, only to have them turn around and add malware months later.

I completely understand a desire to shut things down cleanly, rather than risk something you watched over for years become something terrible.
