You're right.

Yep, our host gives us a limit for the amount of bandwidth we can use per month, and if we go over that, the site is shut down until the beginning of the next month when the bandwidth limit is reset.

As others have said, the only way to fix the problem is to help out by donating. I appreciate the donations we have gotten, but so far we only raised enough to pay for about a month of our current hosting price. To get a higher bandwidth limit, we would need to pay $10 more per month than we're paying now.

There are other websites that get more traffic than thetechnodrome.com obviously.

Yes, but they have enough money to pay for a powerful hosting plan or even their own server, and I don't.

Both, actually. It's caused by many people viewing many forum pages.
