The text below was also sent as an email to a variety of other artists and so far only a few have answered. Before bringing the whole thing online i'd like to at least have a BIT of variety. ;)
So, if you know someone who'd be intereste, please point them at me. :)

Good morning my dear artists. :)
Some of you might know me, my name is Christian Walde, but on the internet most people know me as Xenofur.
For those of you who do not know me, I am currently the admin of the furry imageboard "fchan.hentaiplanet.net". In case you are unfamiliar with image boards, there is a quite informative article on wikipedia: "http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Imageboard";. In short, the website i am administrating revolves around the postign and sharing of artwork that is created by you and people like you. The server acts as a base for a forum-like system and as a temporary repository of the images that are being posted.
Now, since the life of the website in itself is based on your efforts i have been constantly thinking about a way to give you something back. I have now found something that i could do which could benefit you and i am offering it for free. You have been chosen by pure randomness and circumstance to be the first ones to be offered the following:
The main asset that fchan has is traffic, and lots of it. So I am planning to include a rotating banner next to our current banned which can display banners that link to your websites. I expect no recompensation at all, as i view this as recompensation to YOU.
Now that i have gotten a few banners the whole thing is life on fchan. :)
The guidelines for banners are:
- The banner you want to use must be within the dimensions of 300*100. - It may be smaller, but not bigger.
- The content of the banner may be risque, but it should generally stay work-safe.
- The site that is being linked to must mainly contain your own art.
- The artist may choose on which boards the banner is rotated.
- A site that is linked to that mainly contains /ah/-style content may only be linked to on /ah/.
For those who are unfamiliar with this terminology, the contents that are considered /alternative-hard/ are listed on our frontpage in the list of board descriptions.
Lastly the link and banner must be approved by the whole moderation team as well, as a sort of sanity-check and also as a quality-check. This is mainly necessary because i want to prevent this system from being spammed with banners from artists who still have years of training ahead of them and to preserve it's purpose of being a reward to those artists who have done real contributions to the fandom.
Now, if you are interested, all i need from you is a banner image and a link. :)
If this whole experiment is well-received by artists and users alike i will add a similar text like this mail to the rules page and open this offer up for any artist who requests it.

You might wish to cross-post this to the General Chat section of the Forum, here, with an eye-catching title (e.g. "A Unique offer from fchan: free advertising for your personal art site" / "... personal furry art site"(?)).
The rotating banner on your test page appears to have a broken image link just now, btw.
Thanks for the offer and interesting experiment!
Best wishes & Keep up the great work,
David/u2k ^^
About your title suggestion, with contributors i meant people like Uncle Kage or sites like furbid or furaffinity. :)
Regarding the broken image link. On my end all of them work. It's possible that oneof them is not actually a jpg and firefox throws an error, but that won't be happening in the final version. =)
