Can a website that displays only divrei Torah be “open” on Shabbos?

Question:

We run a popular website that displays audio, video, transcripts in Hebrew and translations in English, French, Spanish, Russian and Yiddish.
Does this site need to be shut down on Shabbos?

Answer:

If there aren’t any monetary transactions it is permitted, because you are not doing any melacha, and there is not sechar Shabbos, etc. According to my understanding, our site is technically on, but questions can not be asked.

You should be zoche to a lot of harbotzas hatorah.
