New Stuff! Premium Content / Commenting and ad-free Experience for Paid Members / Invitees

🐾 The Spider Cat Army Has a New Gate

SpidercatNZ now has its own premium member system!
After months of content, community, and a few late nights squashing analytics bugs, we’ve quietly rolled out something exciting: a custom-built system that lets trusted readers and contributors join the inner circle.


🧩 What’s New?

  • 🟧 “SCA Content” Badges now appear on premium posts, clearly marking our deeper, juicier content. SCA members will receive exclusive access to some content (raw datasets, templates, that kind of thing), early access to some, and the ability to comment (reasonably) on pretty much all posts.
  • 🗝️ Invite-Only Access for select users — Spidey’s way of saying thanks to those loyal Twitter/X followers who’ve supported him since the early days.
  • Time-limited free memberships (e.g. 6 months) via single-use invite links
  • 💬 Commenting & Ad-Free Viewing for all donors and invited members
  • 🔒 Security features we log all failed access attempts (with IP and referrer) to keep things clean

🎟️ How Do I Get In?

You might already have an invite in your inbox. If not, keep being awesome — or consider supporting the site directly through a donation or subscription.

Accepted an invite? Head over to your Welcome Page to begin your SCA journey.


🚧 Still in Progress

This is just the beginning. We’re currently building:

  • 📨 Notifications when someone uses your invite
  • 🧡 Cleaner integration with donation tiers and long-term subscribers

If you like where this is going — or want to help shape it — feel free to reach out via the usual channels (if you are a member of the SCA, you know how to get in touch), or leave a comment if you’re a member.
Otherwise, thank you for reading, thank you for caring, and thank you for being a part of this wonderfully weird and watchful corner of the web.

(nb: as this is completely custom-coded, and brand new.. and it’s me doing it, there may, nay will likely, be issues. Please let us know via comment.)
