Our vision of the Asylum is to create a unique community where stimulating discussion and interchange can occur without the normal assault of ugly graphics, useless banner advertising, flame wars, animated GIFs, painfully slow load times, cookies, java script, and the rest of the 'nifty' stuff that sites insist on throwing at the user.

The reality of this vision, however, is that support must come from somewhere. This support comes from folks like you and select industry sponsors. Help us stay banner free, use the links above for purchases or become a contributor.

Over the years, we have also lost a number of dear friends that are sorely missed. Tributes can be found here.
