I think that if a person likes the website he must leave the ads on. It helps the owners to continue the project.
You should never run a site if you can't afford it.
That is with anything. Whether it be a game server, business, website. Whatever. If you aren't able to at least pay a bit of it out of pocket, rather than relying on donations. Don't start it imo.
