Introduction
Hello, my name is Jonathan Maltezo (aka Kameloh), and I am the sole developer of Nabyn. Due to rising server costs, I am humbly requesting support through donations. As you may know, we want Nabyn to remain free for everyone; however, we have no means to pay for server upkeep other than relying on the generosity of our contributors. Our goal is to raise at least $600 to cover server costs for the next two months. Any help is appreciated!

Donations
If you wish to help us keep Nabyn running with as few ads as possible, please consider making a donation. We would greatly appreciate all contributions no matter how big or small they are. All contributors will be listed on this page unless they choose to be anonymous.

Planned Features
My goal for Nabyn is to make an art site that's dedicated to 2D artwork and illustration. Here are just a few big features currently in development:
1. Activity Groups (Currently, 15% done): focuses on group work and activities. Groups will have their own directory as well as their own owners, admins, and moderators. Features include a private forum, shoutbox, group galleries, news, notices, and more!
2. Commission Center: a listing of commissions as well as custom pages to showcase and sell your work/time. Will include advanced options such as # of slots available, current working projects as well as displaying the activity of the commissions.
3. More Character Database Features including a Race/Species Editor and a World Editor for more detailed storylines. The characters, race/species, and world editors will all intertwine with each other. Artists will also be given the control on who can add/modify characters/entities to their races/species/worlds lists.
4. Secret Feature #1: still a secret, but I am confident that people will enjoy this little tidbit ;)
