What are the costs of such a website? They say that the server will be kept up, so those running costs are not the main expense. Is it the purchase of items they review?

Honestly, no reasons were given for the site becoming defunct (yet). But the owner (Future) also purchased Tom's Hardware, who took over some reviewers. So you might call it consolidation in a shrinking market? The cost for such a site were the wages for the journalists, i guess.
