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.
