I have to agree, for some people, $60 a year is alot. Imagine if you are someone who frequents many forums. It can add up.

For me this is the only forum I frequent, so $60 a year ($50 with the yearly discount I think) is nothing.

The other option is to make a one-time donation. Alot of forums have that (including this one). You can donate whatever amount you want. Perhaps there should be some sort of badge for those who make a one-time donation. That is what alot of forums do.
