The blog LetMeSign.com has awarded us for being one of the most creative blogs in their opinion. We are very honored to be recognized by another Robert Pattinson site. As required by the award, we have to give the award to 7 blogs that we find creative and they are: Under this award, we also have to tell 7 things about ourselves. I, Kristin, the owner will do this! 1. Spunk Ransom started out on MySpace with former co-owner Mareike from The Twilight Lounge. 2. I became a Rob fan after seeing him as Cedric Diggory in Harry Potter and the Goblet of Fire. 3. I can only share my Rob-fandom in real life with a former co-worker G.F.M. *waves* lol 4. I hope to go to the set of “Circus” because it is reasonable drive from where I live. 5. Before blogging about Rob, I was a political blogger. Can you believe that? lol 6. I have a desktop wallpaper of Rob on my work and home computers. 7. I would like to meet Rob someday…. and I am sure many of you have that goal too. Thank you again to LetMeSign.com for singling us out on their list of fellow blogs. |

If you haven’t noticed, we have added a special banner for the Remember Me Saturday movement in our sidebar. We are proudly sponsoring their site for the next month. Why? We want to ensure that all Rob fans bring their friends and family to see Remember Me on Saturday, March 13. This movement is important because if we are successful, it will show that Robert is a major player in Hollywood and more than a one trick vampire. |

We haven’t done a serious affiliate update in quite some time due to website issues and of course the flood of news that started right before “New Moon”! Therefore, I was able to sit down today and clean up our Elite and Top Affiliates. If you think your site has been removed by mistake, please e-mail me at admin@spunk-ransom.com and I’ll do my best to remedy that! I’ve also added some new Top Affiliates in the drop down menu underneath all of our Elite Affiliates. In the meantime, welcome our newest additions! Remember Me: An Unofficial Fan Site Note – To sites who were accepted as Top Affiliates, we have not officially added you to our list yet! I am still working on that tonight! Thank you for your patience!

We know many of you Internet Explorer users have had difficulties with viewing the site since our first re-design. Well, the time has come for a re-design because we can’t put this off any longer. We continue to struggle with keeping the code stable for all. Therefore, we’d like to start off 2010 in a good place for all of you so thank you for patience in this process! I will post updates in this post as we get moving! |

Hello everyone, November 22nd 2009 was our 1st year anniversary! Woo hoo! So much has happened to the site since it opened. As you may recall (or just learning if you are a new visitor), I purchased Spunk-Ransom.com in August of 2008 before we officially launched in November 2008. In June, we had our first fundraiser for our renewal. In the midst of June to now, we have upgraded to our own private server to better serve you. This, of course, means higher maintenance costs. How much do you ask? $40-60 per month along with the yearly renewal fee of $120. Being a Rob Pattinson fan on a dedicated server is not cheap. lol He is worth the cash though. My plan is to do two fundraisers a year to help offset the costs that I do not incur through ad revenue. For the next 7 days, I will be asking for your help to keep Spunk-Ransom.com open with your donations! Right now, I know many of you are focusing on the holidays so with that being said, my expectations are not unreasonable. What does your donations cover? 1) Annual Web Renewal Fees 2) Server Costs/Bandwidth Costs 3) Giveaway Merchandise / Shipping Costs (Remember – we ship Internationally) and any other costs that may occur with running this site! For example, we recently paid to have LemmoniceDesigns work on our our picture gallery. With your donations, I was able to link the gallery up with the main site. This is going to contribute to our goal of re-vamping/updating the poorly maintained picture gallery. lol Thank you to the past donors who have helped keep the site up! You know who you are! Please donate by PayPal under the Spunk Ransom Fundraiser Thermometer I have set up! I will try to update it once a day with our progress towards our goal of 100%. Thank you for all your help but most important, the support you give us each and everyday all in the name of Robert Pattinson! ~ Kristin, Owner of Spunk-Ransom.com! |

Mareike, owner of our sister site The Twilight Lounge, is looking for a news staffer! As you may recall, Mareike used to the co-owner of our Spunk Ransom MySpace when it was just a baby.
If you are interested, please e-mail Mareike at Mareike@twi-lounge.de and let her know you are interested! |

We contacted Rob’s management today to see if we could get a complete list of promotional stops and television appearances Rob has coming up for the “New Moon” promotional blitz. Nick Frenkel’s (Rob’s manager) assistant informed me that she is not able to share this information. We had to try, right? We always appreciate any information they do provide to Spunk-Ransom.com. I said I was to see what I could do but unfortunately, I got nothing! lol |
