ok check this out. i'm not gonna give you some long ass sappy story about how dr_evil and i (sickz) claim to be poor and need money to support our hobbies and/or bad habits (newports). and no we're not in desperate need of $ because of ridiculously overpriced hosting fees (we have none).

now this is the part where imma sucker you in to donate your $.. j/k ;p....but (there's always a but) -- if you've ever been to another "rating" site, since that's what cpixel seems to be categorized as (which was never my intent), then you know that all these sites have flashing (some even have talking) banners all around their pages, pop up ads, etc etc... And as you can see, we have none of that bullshit... and we plan to keep it that way. cuz honestly, that bullshit would annoy me, and if i didn't like our site, neither would u, cuz i'd find somethin' else to do instead of developin' for cpixel.

second, take a look at other sites.... im sure you all know of them, i won't mention them.. but check them out... eventually down the line after they've been live for awhile... they ALL start to charge for some kind of "premium membership" or this or that....and w/ the "premium" membership, you actually get to see.. uh oh.. the personal details of whoever ur rating, or something stupid, like bein' able to upload 10 pics instead of 3.... yea we could do that...but we don't. hmm.. do you see any limits... on ANYTHING? not really.. the only limit i know of is 7 sub pics (which is reasonable for one page) and 5 albums. yet u could upload 5901859185 pics into one album if you REALLY wanted to... you can have unlimited messages in your "message box" when X site only lets u have 10 unless u pay uh.. 3.99 for that.. mmm ...premium membership.. anyways you get the point

so.. u ask... why should i donate if i get nothing in return? let's put it this way.. cpixel has been around for hmm april/may of 2002.. all the time i've spent coding for this site, i've never asked for a penny =), same goes for evil, all kinds of work on the hardware, servers, etc, never asks for anything in return... and we never will.. cpixel will always be free, and you're never required to drop a penny, nickel, or that annoying word... a DIME in our direction...

well, if you feel like cpixel deserves your hard earned, hustled, drug smuggled, or whatever money, then go ahead and donate.. if you do decide to donate, all we ask is for $1. if you wanna donate more, go ahead.. if you want to give, go ahead and give what you think cpixel is worth... if you do decide to donate, and you have, send me a message on Sickz, and let me know what email address you have donated under (if u use the paypal method), if you decide to snail mail your donation, write on a paper ur cpixel name, and i'll hook u up with a request of your choice... that being, a background (oh gawd), music on your page, extra albums, pretty much the request is only limited by your imagination, so go ahead and ask, and i'll see what i can do to fulfill that..

just click the paypal logo below to donate via paypal (you can use your credit card if u don't have paypal), if you want to send a donation via snail mail, msg sickz or dr evil for the address of where to send it to... i do wanna say thanks if u donate, and also thanks if you don't donate, just havin' fun here is plenty fulfillment for all of us....cpixel funds will be used to develop faster and better online community.
