Howdy.

The cel gallery with a strange name is chugging right along. Rubberslug was launched in August 2001 as an experiment in online web site creation. More than two years later, we're hosting over 40,000 pieces of original artwork.

Two things make this possible: excellent word of mouth and donations from our generous members. Loot from our friends helps us offset the high cost of equipment, maintenance, and development.

It doesn't help that Rubberslug doesn't support intrusive advertising. I'm probably a little like you: I hate pop-ups. I don't want to be spammed. I appreciate when human beings respond to my questions without resorting to form letters. This may make for good ethics, but it makes tough business.

We've started a new sponsorship program that we'll use to recognize donors to the site. The three levels of sponsorship are Silver ($10), Gold ($20), and Platinum ($50). All donations from a single user are accumulated over time. Any of these donation levels grants sitewide recognition as a sponsor. Your gallery will be more prominently displayed when you update and you'll get an icon recognizing you as a sponsor of a particular level.

In the near future, look for exclusive site features available only to sponsors. We always intend to make the core services of the site available to all members free of charge, but naturally we'd like to offer a little extra to our closest supporters when possible.

If you're a few bucks short, hey, we can relate. Don't worry about it -- support our site by creating a spectacular gallery.

Click here to donate. Just a reminder, but Rubberslug isn't a non-profit organization. Thanks for your time. Hope to hear from you soon.
