Funding Slugger…

I’ve not made an appeal for donations for a while now. A lot of our technical adjustments to Slugger, including moving our server to the US in the last six months, have helped reduce our costs considerably.

The TypeKey commenting system is gradually running in, and we’re beginning to see the return to the kind of vigourous debate (over 1000 comments per week) we saw before June, when we were completely overrun by spam.

We now have another upgrade to install to make this system even easier to use. If you’d like to donate a small amount to help cover this, and the ongoing server costs, then just hit the Donate button on the left hand side and send us what you can.

We are reader supported. Donate to keep Slugger lit!

For over 20 years, Slugger has been an independent place for debate and new ideas. We have published over 40,000 posts and over one and a half million comments on the site. Each month we have over 70,000 readers. All this we have accomplished with only volunteers we have never had any paid staff.

Slugger does not receive any funding, and we respect our readers, so we will never run intrusive ads or sponsored posts. Instead, we are reader-supported. Help us keep Slugger independent by becoming a friend of Slugger. While we run a tight ship and no one gets paid to write, we need money to help us cover our costs.

If you like what we do, we are asking you to consider giving a monthly donation of any amount, or you can give a one-off donation. Any amount is appreciated.
