I think lifetime territory founders have an incentive to build a community for life.
Yes, that was the idea but in practice, they don't: from 16 territories paid for life (excluding ~bitcoin, ~nostr, ~meta, ~tech and ~jobs), 7 founders have disappeared (= no post since months). That's 43%.

To be fair to those founders, I don't think they want to disappear. They bought them for the same reason we created the once option - it's way more convenient and gives peace of mind.
I think that owning a territory is probably like owning a boat. Sometimes owning one is more enjoyable than being on the water.
I think we've also done a poor job of giving them reason to put effort into their territories. Lots of work to do on our end.
In the meantime, the once option will remain. It might be good for all territory founders if we can learn to cope with this incentive problem.

Yes, knowing that I don’t have to worry about forfeiting a territory if I were to miss a monthly payment makes it an even more valuable option.

Maybe the reason behind their disappearance is not losing interest but the fact something happened to them - we're people after all.
P.S: This brings the topic about lifetime territory inheritance - do you think it's a good idea the owner of a lifetime territory to be obliged to add his heirs which after a reasonable period of inactivity to take charge?
