Do you own any .community forums?

I know that some generic new TLDs had fixed pricing based on keywords, etc., and didn't go by a standard fixed rate as you would see with .com.
Did your forum keyword fall into a premium name designated by the registry? If so, how much was it to secure and what is the renewal cost when compared to other .community domains?
Namecheap has .community at a set price (barring the price gouging that is 'premium') which lists as £28.59, renewing at £30.17 - which will be more sensible in USD.
I see .forum is now more reasonably priced than the 3-figure prices they debuted at, hah.
I do own a .community, that I bought with a particular intent but it hasn't come to pass. Maybe it will in 2025, we shall see.

Ok, nothing crazy like XYZ did.Its definitely more expensive, but it's worth it for me since I got a 1 keyword domain name specific to what my community/niche is about. It costed me $90 to register my domain. Renewal is about the same, maybe I can get a coupon with Namecheap when it's time for renewal.
Most of their domains were released for $0.99, but they had 5 figure (maybe even 6 and 7) reserved names.
My daughter's first name was reserved by the registry for $4000, but somehow I got my wife's for 99 cents, which I still have to this day.
$90 renewal on a strong keyword like that isn't bad.
Not community, but .forum, I took over and it'll be $40 renewal.
