View Poll Results: Should LQ have a lifetime subscription option?
Replied Unsure because it would depend on the terms and the impact on regular subscribers and non subscribers, if any. It's always nice to have more options. Not to over complicate, but perhaps there might also be different terms for people in different categories, i.e., over 70, veterans etc: just a thought.

There would be no change from the existing Contributing Member program, it would simply be an option to pay one time to be upgraded for the life of LQ. I'm happy to upgrade any veteran who contacts me gratis.
I am happy that this poll and thread did not get forgotten. I kept checking but nobody seemed to post or vote in the poll. I guess not until Jeremy put his magic touch .
I still do not know the price range and again that is up to Jeremy. Also maybe some more perks vs a regular subscription might do. I.E. visible avatar, or at least ability to embed video with an [embed] option. Again these are just suggestions, and not strictly a requirement.
I would be also willing to pay $100 or $150 or $200 perhaps. Again, Maybe when we have a good sample from the poll, then we all can debate a price and Jeremy will make the final decision on that.

With the current $35/year price, I think $150 sounds reasonable for a lifetime subscription (possibly with an initial discounted introductory price). Still very much open to feedback, however.

I'm good with that. I like little fuss and usually would avail myself of a one-time thing versus something that I'd update from year to year or have to put effort into keeping track off.
