Catching on to this a bit late, but I'm also happy to throw some pennies in to help keep things going.
I realize it's a little bit of extra work, but can I perhaps suggest setting up something like a Patreon for The Dark City? That way we have a single external place we can sign up for, and all chip in. And whoever is tasked and is happy with being tasked) with administrating it can simply use that money to pay the site upkeep whenever is necessary? Worth considering something like that so we're prepared for next time?

My luddite brain has done a bit of research on this. Patreon may be a possibility but there are potentially tax issues which I personally would not be willing to venture into, as I have more than enough scrutiny from HMRC (our version of the IRS for our American denizens) as it is.
There may also be a way to put a donate button on the forum but I've not yet seen how this can be directly linked to the purchase of credits for the forum. All I've seen at the moment is a link to a personal Paypal account which the owner of said account would then need to use to purchase credits. Maybe someone with better knowledge of forumotion may be able to work out how to 'cut out the middle man'?

Yeah, I thought that might happen. From that same URL I get a completely different screen which enables me to simply purchase credits with paypal.

My screen looks like Burnages as well. Also if I type in https://www.thedarkcity.net/ or www.thedarkcity.net it doesn't come up at all so I can not even see the optional way to pay.

Due to losing the domain name (hopefully reinstated soon) the forum URL is currently https://www.thedarkcity.net/
