Some Suggestions
I also miss the videos. Here's a few ideas.
1. I notice you dont have any pop ups or pop unders. They are annoying, but they might help pay the bills. And I think most of the video fans will put up with them to keep the site free.
2. Some similar forum sites require that you post a "thank you" reply at least once a month to maintain your fourm membership. It's not much, but each reply generates another ad page view. And for the multimedia section you could require it more frequently - perhaps for every visit, or even for every download.
3. A Pay Pal "please donate" button at the top and bottom of each page might help.
4. As a last resort, I wonder how many would be willing to pay a small yearly membership fee, say $5.00? Not sure how many members you have, but even if it's just 1000, that's $5,000/year. $400/month should buy quite a bit of bandwidth.
Hope you find a solution soon. I'm going through widthdrawal pains already :-)
