This is what Wikipedia does.Regulars should donate. It can be a little 2 dollars or one dollar. If you can afford the internet, you can afford that...
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.
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.
