We will take it as it comes, John and I really appreciate the time and effort your putting into this site, we have a hell of alot of fun. Well, i do, john not so much :P
Milovana? A paysite?
No freaking way.
Most likely we'll eventually aim for a model like they use at Stumbleupon: The service is completely free. However, there is some mild advertising. (Usually, you wouldn't even notice it's there - it's through so-called "Sponsored Stumbles", if you know what Stumbleupon does, you'll understand.)
Now, if you like the Stumbleupon service, you can become a sponsor. That means paying 5$ a year and you get a cool green sponsor icon and no more ads. And a few non-essential gimmick features.
Bottom line: No one will ever be forced to pay anything on this site. We will always aim to be so good that you'll want to pay a little, just to make sure the site sticks around.
(Btw. Stumbleupon is the only online service I ever paid for, because it totally rules and in many ways it's definitely my role model in how I run my sites and even my companies. I don't agree with everything they do, but with a lot.)

Hmm, seems like I'm looking towards a bright future, am I not?
But seriously, it wouldn't feel right to have a tease just for me. If this someone wants to say Thanks, s/he should thank the whole team, not just me.
Sure the webmaster often gets the most glory, but without his team the site would break down.
