This is a great question and a challenge to accomplish in this virtual world.
However, here are some important steps that might help...
First, you need to undestand that you will never ever get all of your team members to join in any team community spirit and very far from it;
Second, you want to be very present yourself in working with the ones that really want to be working with you... through regular email or chat communications;
Third, you can create some contests and incentives and share results about them in your posts, email communications, chats and leadership page;
Fourth, you can try to implement some regular communication with these really involved team members by using group chats in Skype or starting a hangout in Google +;
Fifth, you can also implement regular training sessions for your team members using a webinar platform such as www.anymeeting.com where you could gather up to 200 of your team members for a discussion or training on a specific topic.
They will slowly discover the Power of sharing experiences and challenges together and, you will start to get slowly more and more of your team members joining in over time.
I wish you much success!
