The Rescue Ranger Database, or RRDatabase, is a repository of fan work started by Matt Plotecher and currently maintained by Winston, although Winston is seeking a new administrator at this time.

From the RRDatabase's site:

Now over seven years old, the RRDatabase was started by Matt Plotecher as an effort to be a comprehensive collection of important fanwork relating to the show "Chip'N'Dale's Rescue Rangers". In that pursuit, it has generally succeeded, coming to be regarded as one of the major resources of the fandom. In July of 2004, responsibility for maintaining the site was transferred to Winston.

The RRDatabase has gone through many different incarnations - it began life as static HTML, evolved to include small amounts of SSI, began using CGI when that was no longer sufficient, adopted some modest PHP when CGI became too cumbersome to fill all that was needed, and has been growing in complexity and degree of dynamic content ever since (PHP started it's tenure here as a sort of side-show for some minor features, but has grown to the point in subsequent codebase redesigns that the site can truly be reckoned to be powered by PHP, built from the ground up with PHP at it's core).

Under Winston, the RRDatabase has intentionally adopted a stance of inclusion toward fanwork of all content levels, excluding graphic sexual depictions. This is relatively rare among major fan websites, which almost universally set a cap on content that may be included or linked to. Unfortunately, this also means that the RRDatabase cannot be linked to here without violating the terms of service of the Ranger Wiki.

Parties who understand what the RRDatabase can contain, and wish to view it, may search for "rrdatabase" in Google.
