    Idea 1 makes sense, but if out of the blue we changed from the current free model to this. Wouldn't people feel the need to justify the one time payment?

"Traffic grew enough that we needed to buy more cloud space."

Sorted!

    Also, not sure of how good an idea it is, but maybe allowing people to donate on top of it?

Again - these aren't be-all, end-all, one-and-done solutions. These are ideas that I think could be wargamed, much as the current BTC experiment, in order to gain some insight as to what's viable and what isn't. If several ideas are viable, and if there's interest in several different models of benefaction, then members should be provided by several different options for underwriting the site.
