Of course that problem exists and it will always be there.
My experience with debianforum.de is that there is a core group of users who more or less carry the forum on their own. And since the current financial situation is always transparent if it's getting critical usually one or two of them jump in with a donation.
On the other hand of course we're talking about very different amounts of money here. So the core group would have to be much bigger if we actually need $1000 every month.
