TES Alliance is a non-profit website for the use and enjoyment of Bethesda Softworks fans, modders, and players. As such, she is supported solely by the site's owner, DarkRider, donations from her generous supporters, and the steady income from Premium memberships.

As our community grows, so does the financial responsibility of maintaining her. We would like to increase our server as needed with the increases in traffic and to always have the funding available to keep the site running at full capacity without ads. The most reliable way to do this is through paid memberships and subscriptions. Many of the Alliance's features will remain open to general users, but there are some definite perks to purchasing a premium membership.

There are several types of Premium Membership available on TESA, The two primary types are VIP memberships and Subscriptions, but what's the difference?

  • VIP Membership: VIP Members are our Senior Allies, they have the same privileges as free users but with some extended perks including special ranking, extra daily rep points, more albums, extra storage, etc. A VIP Membership has a one time fee in exchange for Senior Allies privileges for a predetermined time period (For example $5.95 for a 1-Month Membership) when it expires, privileges return to free user status unless another VIP Membership is purchased.
  • Subscription: Subscribers are our Patrons, they have the same privileges as free users and Senior Allies, but with some further extended perks including special ranking, uncapped downloading, unlimited storage, self moderation, etc. A Subscription has a recurring monthly fee in exchange for advanced privileges for an undetermined time period (For example $5.95 per Month for a Level 1 Subscription) which never expires. User may cancel their subscription at anytime and return to free user status unless another premium membership is purchased.

VIP Membership Perks Overview:

Advanced Photo Galleries- Senior Allies have larger galleries, more storage space, and the ability to make up to 3 albums. They can send e-cards, edit/move/delete images, and rate images. Their photo Albums are hosted in the Senior Allegiance Gallery.

Hosted Blogs- Senior Allies can create and publish a blog of their own. They can use a blog to share their personal thoughts or as a workspace for a project blog to post images and info on their current projects. Friends can be granted permission to edit the blog or add to it.

Flex Ratings- Senior Allies have full rating power over threads, images and downloads. In some places they can even amend their votes.

Ad Free- Subscribers will never see an ad on TES Alliance.

V.I.P. Ranking- Senior Allies have a unique rank and a special class image in their user pane much like those of staff members. Their user ID appears in Royal Blue across the forums.

Suggestion: Please make this page easier to find, ideally by making it a constant link from the footer of the "Subscriptions" page. I made the mistake of searching on "ranks", not thinking to use the word "premium" which is a much better search term. This is important reference info and deserves a dedicated link. :)

Premium Memberships help us to pay for TES Alliance, if we give away the perks for participation in classes, the people who paid full price might feel cheated and that's not fair. We plan to expand additional purchasable perks in the future, but that's part of a site wide upgrade that is still in the works. :)
