"PC Apex Elite" Subscription Service Online! - UPDATED!

[GlitterKill]

I have setup a subscription service for the PC Apex Forums and our Gallery. So why subscribe? What do you get?

PC Apex Elite Members receive these benefits:
NO ADS in the PC Apex Forums and the Gallery!
500 message limit for your Private Messages box. (Double the default limit)
10MB of gallery space. (Double the default limit)
Access to the Apex Elite Lounge (a private forum for staff and Apex Elite Members only).
Special award icon to show off your support.
Entered to win a PC Apex T-Shirt randomly given out each month.

These subscription fees will go toward site and server maintenance as well as pay Vladimir for his EXCELLENT coding service. Your support will help make PC Apex EVEN BETTER!

The cost of the subscription service is $20 for a 6 month period ( a little over $3 per month) and is payable through most methods. You can sign up via the "Paid Subscriptions" area in your User Control Panel.

Once subscribed and your payment has been processed, you should immediately notice the lack of banners in the forums as well as see the PC Apex Elite Lounge Forum. Everything should be automatic except for the award icon which should go live for you within 24 - 48 hours after subscription. (Also note that PayPal will not verify eChecks immediately so the automaitc verification system won't switch you over until PayPal gets the cleared fees.) I have included a screenshot of what the forums look like when surfing as a PC Apex Elite Member as well.

Note: These subscriptions are NOT auto-renewing. When your subscription expires you should receive an email and/or PM and you can decide to renew your subscription at that time. If you order multiple subscriptions each one will effectively push back your Apex Elite membership another 6 months (each order is cumulative to your ending date). If you wish to purchase a membership for another member then please send me a PM with info about the order and who it should be given to.

EDIT:: If anyone experiences problems with their subscription please PM me with info and I will check it out ASAP.

DISCLAIMER FOR KNUCKLE-HEADS // If you subscribe but are subsequently banned for ANY illegal activity you then forfeit your subscription fee and will not be reimbursed. Consider it my fee for dealing with your knuckle-headedness. I know this won't matter to 99.9% of you since the vast majority of you simply ROCK as members.

If you would rather mail in a money order, then make it out to "Gary Mullins" and drop it in the mail going to this address:

You need to quit that bad habit of yours prostitutes are bad!! j/k

Sounds good GK I was wondering when you were going to offer something like this!

[Iateronmly]

*kicks Paypal* Lousy fund transfer lag time.

[GlitterKill]

Yeah, I added a note about the eChecks via PayPal. It won;t approve the subscription until the funds clear and since the system is TOTALLY automatic I can't do anything on my end to overide it.

Sorry for the wait, Iat.

BTW: If anyone can come up with a better 20x20 transparent gif for the award icon, which should be a back to back capitol P, then please email me your graphic to glitterkill(at)pcapex.com. If I use your icon I will send you a PR shirt or hat or something like that.

Ohh well, I still have access to the new sub-forum section, my mailbox is already larger.... I can take another 3 days til the ads disappear.

[TheOutcast]

I paid, echeck tho.. waiting time begins..

Quoth PayPal, "Expected clearing date: December 28th"

[Sportbilly]

Also happy to help out. Might help my load times on the lappy too hehe

[RexBeans Explosion]

All signed up. A nice way to support the site. Not a big fan of the current icon though. Something in PR blue might be more appealing.

[Fu3lman]

heres an idea, how about a drop shadow under the users name in their posts, like mebbie a gold drop shadow or something, doesent have to be an icon really....

or just add it to their title

[Psylariser]

No paypal here....so unfortunately I can't sign up.....

[Joose]

Cool service...I'll sign up Friday...

Here's a logo for ya GK

[Jonny English]

Just signed up too - I can already see the posts in the Premium forum, but I want that badge! No matter how lame!

Edit - at todays USD/GBP exchange rate, $20 = £10.73

[Joose]

[NoSlak]

[TheOutcast]
