I have an idea of sorts, although, idk how well it would work. A few of the other sites I am on (ie turbododge.com), has "membership otions". You pay XX amount of dollars for a year's membership. How much you pay determines the access you have to special features on the site, and other "perks" like stickers, shirts, etc, come with the memberships. You don't have to pay to be there, but it does benefit one to do so. Another thing thing they do is post up advertisments for random crap. This is not viewable to the paying members, but the "free" members and guests are subjected to them. They are rather inobtrusive, as they just show up below the first post on the page, and are easily ignored. Just an idea you guys could look into to make a little bit of cash to upgrade the site.
