That's the internet; nothing is forever (please excuse the sarcastic use of forever). You have to redefine your thinking of wasted; I for example don't really know why I translated reviews here.
Random guess: because you thought it would be an awesome idea to have this site available to your native language because it helps people who don't read english to be able to access the site, and because you thought AB was an awesome site to begin with?

Nothing in those two statements changed much. I hardly know why it would make any difference... The site and the idea itself are still awesome.

Well that's not exactly encouraging news if none has any access on the server, its content and, the forum,
Wrong.
Site server is one thing.
The file server - where we keep the game archives - is a different matter.
Forum can be backed up without any problem.
File server can be backed up without any problem.
Site can be backed up - but only "kind of" - using a webspider. It's not a full backup, just a "dead" offline copy, but can be used to rebuild the place if anything seriously bad happens.

Surely then, the only option is to soldier on until whatever contract with studentis runs out, then simply find a new host or rehost with studentis under a new monarchy, thus regaining full access to the site?

If we don't have full access to the site server, but the site code is bugged anyway, perhaps starting from fresh is a better idea in the long run? I mean, we have 4 years to perfect a new site, right?
Surely this should be seen as an opportunity!
Or am I missing something here?

I'm sure we could work something out; if Kosta managed it, why on earth can't we?

If it came down to it Myself and others, I am sure, could pony up enough to pay for the server.

I appreciate your suggestions and your will to find a solution, but now this is pure speculation guys, we answered you and told you our thoughts.
Could you focus all these energies on the site instead?
Thanks
