I think along those same lines and each year when it comes time to renew the membership to the 4wd clubs I'm a member of, I also make a donation to the site of a similar magnitude to the club fees.
Like you've said, I get far more information from the site and it's members than from either of the 4wd clubs I'm a member of . . . After moving to the Snowy Mountains, I haven't even been to a meeting of the Melbourne 4wd club that I belong to for almost 4 years now!
Other sites have encouraged "premium" membership through disabling search or photo attaching capabilities but I too would worry that some of those changes either cause people to head to other sites where all the content and functionality is free.
