I think this is a good idea, but you should be careful of changing the labels
on these. People might get confused if you suddenly proclaimed everyone as a
member.... You might want to give "type 1" a different name, even if
internally it will be a "non-paying member" or whatever. You can still call
type-1 "users", but change the way they sign in. Having a password even when
you're not a "type 1 member" would be very useful. And there are currently
many enhancements that still make becoming a "type 2" worth it (and I'm sure
there'll be more enhancements as time passes).
Make any sense?
