I believe timely reminders that it IS possible to contribute by buying a membership help. At least it did for me, and I hope it says "Gold member" under my nick when you guys read this. The people who have available cash and are the type of people who want to contribute to having nice communities will do so if reminded. Not for the status, not for any special benefits, but because it's the right thing to do.
There ARE services that could be offered in the adventure travel space that could attract paying customers (as opposed to community members), but those probably go beyond the scope of this forum. Most people expect community to be free, but don't realise that the free communities they participate in are fleeting, basically useless attention traps.
In short, scroll to the top of the page, click SHOP and support this not because you get something extra, but because you're already get something GOOD.
