Or, is it purely a private individual(s) running the show?

yup
Probably not in the sense you're thinking, the Google Ads bring in revenue to help offset the cost of hosting it, but there's no funding (AFAIK)
Like the money, no emails "controlling" how things are done, just communications between members.

Suggestions from "higher authorities"?

Heh, I suddenly had a picture of a "Higher Authority" suggesting things and about laughed out loud (not a good thing to do at work) at the mental image of a non-stop lightning barrage. But no, no government lackeys control this place.

It's difficult to get a handle on this place, that's all!

We’re just a large web-based community that enjoy talking about various items, ideally astronomy related. There’s no government or corporate control, just two guys who decided to merge their message boards. (Fraser of Universe Today and Phil of Bad Astronomy.) Some of those participating might work
for the government, but in no way related to the running of this site.
Welcome!
(Others will be by to expound more eloquently about this place.)
Edited to typo a correct and add forgotten words.
