i have one of the bigger stack exchange sites...and I'll be moving to Shapado if Stack Exchange kicks me off. I was already looking into them, since their rates were almost 3 times cheaper $50/1mm page views vs SEs $129/1mm pageviews.

If you don't let the admins make money, there is no reason for them to bother building a community.

How would you make money from an SE site?
ads and affiliate links...same way you'd make money from most sites.
