well there could be a compromise; say for example that buying packages contributes to a “virtual purchase” once a certain milestone is reached.

Something like this: A flat rate of 200 BP for Orange Lifetime. THEN, if people feel chintzy, if they buy a month or two of orange it contributes to a 300 BP amount which if ever completed will ultimately buy them orange. That way, if people don’t feel like buying it right away or want a short term solution or want to pay over time, they still are reducing the ultimate cost. You could reduce the proportional cost of the lifetime membership too.

Just a thought.
