As such I dont have any problem supporting this site - used to be A-guard myself, but I think there might be a conflict between generating a lot of traffic to the site by blogging and having to pay for storage to facilitate blogging ?

that is a bit tricky of course. I guess that it would be too cynical to make contributors pay for the effort of providing content.
Here are a few options for extra services that I have seen requested lately (i'll add more if i find more):
- model inventory service
- private person stock auction service (giving a small percentage to the site)
- scale conversion calculator
- model build blog service
- Advanced gallery for finished models (in folders by model)
- Walkaround section
- CMS for clubs, local hobby stores or private persons
- database linking all related topics allowing to find all information on a given subject with one click
- paint conversion and comparison software
- on-line high quality model building university
- a high quality calendar each year; a low quality preview on the site and anyone who pays gets a glossy professional (made by specialised companies) calendar in the mail, can even be combined with special series for a local hobby store or club.
- digital print-outs (like e.g. the photoshopped concrete slabs that were on aeroscale last year) (same as above)
- Print service making home made decals (same as above)
- 3D printing?
of course, we need to take into account that making all that soft is not a trivial thingy
