In my opinion, the Community Spirit kicks in when users experience _value_ from interacting with the community.  
Just like people do in real life through social interactions.  
So, the key to making a forum work and establishing a Community Spirit, is to offer users value.  
That in it itself is the basis of social transactions.  
Value can be created in different ways, but I suspect that the very nature of successful online forums such as Discourse, makes _content_ prevalent.  
When Community Spirit really takes off, a forum becomes a self-generating content machine through its participating members.  
So the meaning of Community Spirit is the self-evident right to existence as a medium of communication for its community.  
Or, put simply: it lends its community a voice.
