Basically tmo always been "standing on its own feet", though Nokia supported Reggie by paying part of the hosting bill.
Voting with your money is called market, not democracy.
If you're not happy about how "things have gone", I'd suggest you either do something to make things better, or you stick to your consequences/conclusions. Either way we can't help until you came up with better critics than "I'm quite displeased", it's an paralyzing comment that doesn't help anything.

And finally: even though I'm not exactly a fan of tmo, I promise you there will be always enough money to continue this forum, even if I had to pay it. It's like 50-100EUR/month, plus one dedicated guy to do the maintenance and sysop (and that guy is the emperor of tmo, always been, and there's no other way to run a forum). The rest of maemo.org infra is quite another critter. So is the question if keeping this forum running makes any sense when rest of maemo.org goes south.
