It also would add the word "Premium" or whatever you want, and I'll give you an example (this is from dslreports.com).

Only paid members have "Premium Member" listed.

However, I was thinking about it more, what you could do is this: For the regulars who can't afford to donate, keep their username the same colour as any other unpaying member. However, if one donates (perhaps a minimum yearly), they could have an alternate colour.
Regulars should donate. It can be a little 2 dollars or one dollar. If you can afford the internet, you can afford that...

I would agree.

The only issue I see for Spokes is if he 'earns' too much. Does it become like a PT job at that point? Taxable income?

To me, this is more than a hobbyist site. You can tell it's not geared to generating income for the owner too. It falls somewhere in between those two.
