I think you should forget the kickstarter and keep the site as-is... lest we risk ruining a great community for the sake of profits.
Why don't we ask for volunteers to help with the web design and maintenance for free? Or do a donation drive if you want to help cover server costs?
I don't want to sound harsh but I think $3000/month income from a site about free game art is a bit unrealistic, sorry to say.
This site wouldn't be worth visiting if it wasn't for all the artists submitting their work for free. I hope you keep their interests in mind when making your decision.
My work is all CC0 from the get-go because I believe not only ideologically that art should be free, but in a practical sense I can't really prohibit others from copying my work without taking them to court, etc. and I basically have no money for that. Coming from a science background it's actually rewarding to see others using your work in their projects, since we can all build off eachother's knowledge and insights. Why not treat arts the same way? Copy, share, modify, redistribute, whatever. It's what computers were made to do.
This is great. Surt, you are becoming the Paul Erdős of open source pixel art. Just more and more good tilesets to choose from. I hope you don't collapse from exhaustion anytime soon.

Which children's story?
This kind of quality work is just what this site needs. Keep up the good work, thanks for picking CC0 license
This art is amazing, can I send you bitcoins to fund your future works?

Minimalism - the art of making a lot from very little. A fine piece.
Welcome aboard
The Germans are amassing at our borders sir, what do we do?

You the man, Surt. Isometric tiles make me happy.
