It would be interesting to understand how much money they're actually making here. I know they own a bigger forum with more advanced software (or at least more features), so if they already have the license for it, would it cost much more to do some upgrades here?
Or maybe they'd be willing to sell it. But how much could it cost, including making upgrades? Anyone have any idea?

With owners seemingly uninterested, chances are it's all gonna disappear one day in any case. Newer BBpress versions may have made many changes to database architecture over the years and so at this point, even upgrading the site may break things completely if you don't do it smart and stepwise.
It would be nice if they can accomplish that, but with no word from them, who knows if they even want to?
Edit:
The sites / domains I've run has been 30-40 USD per year, but I guess you may have to pay more for increased traffic / capacity.
