[Ask the Gulch] Who owns & runs the Gulch? Have the people in charge written essays or books related to Objectivism? What factions are they associated with, e.g. favoring Peikoff, Kelley, Branden, or Reisman? Are they anarchists? Where do they stand on open borders?

Those pages tell you what the "owners" of the site had in mind when they created the site. However, the people who post make it what it is and there are widely varying opinions from the individuals who post in the Gulch.
As for the active members political views, you should read the postings made by individuals and if you have specific questions, ask the individuals to respond.
You have to decide for yourself.
Kelley himself writes: "Since April, 2010, when our trustee John Aglialoro undertook his last-minute independent production of the film, we have been working with John and his team to support their efforts. We believe that the success of the film is a huge opportunity to spread our ideas—and to gain more visibility for all our work."
and Kelley writes: "For the past ten years, I have been John’s consultant on all his initiatives to get the film produced, first with Turner Network Television, then with Lionsgate Studios. My role was to advise on whether the scripts were true to the philosophical themes, plot, and characters of the novel; I read and wrote detailed comments on at least six different scripts, all of which had major defects. In this case, thanks to John’s involvement, the script nicely captured the central story in Part I of the novel, and the themes came through loud and clear."
. this place is mostly politics discussion. I'm a philosopher and wish there were better forums for Objectivist philosophy.
