Can we have a lifetime supporter option?

As in, a one time payment of a higher sum like $250 for lifetime supporter status. Maybe even give lifetime supporters a unique icon next to their name or on their profile  Ive seen this implemented in other forums with optional supporter status.
What do you think of the idea? Would it be easy to do?
Thanks

I think this has been proposed before and they didn't do it because they can't guarantee they'll be around forever.

There is already a lifetime supporter account option. I and many others have one

I looked into it, and I was correct, see other WA&F threads on the subject if you want to confirm for yourself. It's been said multiple times.
Next time maybe you should look into what you're talking about before trying to make someone look dumb/discredit what they said, because you're just making yourself look dumb.

Thanks for buying mine, by the way. I never display the tag anymore cause it just seems like boasting. Looks like you came to the same conclusion.

Haha no, Treant. A bunch of people have them including myself. I don't need to look into it something that is a simple reality. You can stop trying to act like some kind of unofficial spokesman for the site again now.
Kids these days, I swear.

I'd hate to cough up $250, only to have some mod on PMS ban me again.
No more support from me until these mods become athiests and get psychotherapy.

Even I have a lifetime supporter account Treant.. So I'm inclined to believe John Nada Even though when I got mine I was told by Ythan that only 3 members total including myself had permanent supporter status.
 Look at the bottom: permanent supporter status.

Just because a couple long-term members have them doesn't mean anything, I doubt they'll make them publicly available because of what I said earlier.
I think they should, it'd be cool to just make one purchase and never have to do it again 
In the profit aspect it could go either way I guess, they could possibly lose steady income from people that buy them all of the time, but then maybe people that wouldn't regularly buy them would buy a lifetime one...
Excuse me for trying to help someone by telling them what I've seen admins say on the subject at hand, I'm such a horrible person

Sell Your Soul said: We don't offer "Lifetime" simply because we cannot guarantee how long we will be around.
It's safe to say a full year from now, but any longer than that, and we might end up having to refund money if we get shut down for whatever reason.
Not sure where geo or Ythan currently stand on it though.
I used to have one from Andy for being a chat op (we all did) but he pulled them before he left.

Bump.
What's the deal? Is the permanent supporter option ever going to be a possibility?
