Save that until he buys a domain. Of which there's no point until he gets a steady increase in site traffic (although something more snazzy can be thought up for the genral name displayed on the banner).
It's kind of a two sided coin but I think this is the better option, at least for now.
Perhaps if the site gets going well enough setup a paypal account for donations or even a subscription system. Other sites have done stuff like this and have done well. It depends on how it's managed and what is on offer.
Needless to say this will require alot of hard work and effort from not only staff but also its members. This will also need at some point some good outside contacts in the gaming industry depending on how far you wish to take it (Doing reviews perhaps? Setting up competitions?).
Many things to consider yet it's still early days so best to not run before we can walk eh?
