DLC?! Introducing MEGASHOCK+

misterBee · October 20, 2020

Some people have said they'd like to help contribute to keep the site running. Your time is now!

MEGASHOCK+ is a premium subscription service that will help keep the site running smoothly and ad-free, and allow members to access premium site features.

How will the money be used?

Proceeds will be used to pay for site expenses, such as:

Server/hosting costs
Email service costs (needed to send registration/notification e-mails)
Domain name fees
Forum software subscription fee
Forum add-on/application costs
McNuggets and McRibs for when I get hungry

What premium features do I get?

Subscriptions are split into two tiers:

MEGA Pro:

Get 50MB online storage*
Access to exclusive themes
Feel superior to normal members

MEGA Elite:

Get 150MB online storage*
Higher avatar file size limit
Access to exclusive themes
Themes never removed from rotation
Feel superior to Pro members

*Used to upload images. More file types upon request. Storage sizes may be increased in the future.

MEGASHOCK+ members are allowed to upload images and file attachments, meaning they don't need to use services like Imgur to embed images. They also gain access to premium themes, which require a lot more effort to make.

MEGA Elite members get the added bonus of never having to worry about their favorite themes being removed from the theme rotation. Elite members have access to all themes all the time.

Premium themes are built by hand. They aren't just GIFs pulled from the internet.

How do I subscribe?

If that sounds good to you, you can subscribe using the following steps:

Create a Patreon account. Try to use the same email address you use for the forums.
Pledge to one of the membership tiers on the MEGASHOCK Patreon page
Go to your account settings page here on MEGASHOCK and link your Patreon account.

If all goes well you should see a MEGASHOCK+ logo at the top of every page, and you'll have access to premium themes in the stage selector. You'll also gain a MEGA Pro/Elite title under your name.

Patreon will bill you every month, and you can unsubscribe at any time. After you unsubscribe you will no longer be able to upload files, and will no longer be able to access premium themes. Any theme you have applied when you unsub will stay applied until you choose another one from the stage selector.

If you have any questions or need help with your subscription, please post in the MEGASHOCK+ Support Thread.

Thank You!

I've worked really hard to make this site the best it can be, and I hope that we continue to grow together in the future. Without all of you this place is nothing -- thanks for hanging out and making this place fun!
