Facts about Donating to KITG

Q. What am I Donating this money to?
A. We are asking everyone to contribute $10 to $20 to the Kicked in the Groin website so that we are able to keep the site operational. $20 for the entire year comes out to .07 cents a day. I think many of you know we are worth it. Its also a great way to keep a subscription service fee and/or unwanted ads from dominating this site.

Q. Where is the money going?
A. The money is going to help keep the site operational for bandwidth, storage, videos and photos and other necessary features for the website.

Q. Why does my receipt read "KITG Donation"?
A. Kicked in the Groin (KITG)

Q. Who is this Dvhour why should i trust him?
A. Dvhour is the creator and admin of this website. He has been a contributing member of the BB community since 1999. He has made a concerted effort to make this the most socially respectable kink friendly and culturally diverse BB & CB social network on the internet.

Q. I'm concerned about identity theft, what information is visible?
A. PayPal is owned by eBay and has been a trusted website used all over the world since 1998. To learn is PayPal safe?. Square gives small businesses practically everything they need to sell goods and services anywhere and manage day-to-day operations. To learn is Square safe?.

Both payment options are safe and secure and not accessible to hackers for identity theft. The way to tell, is if the web address has an "s" after the "http" (https://www.paypal.com/ notice the "s" in https) then it means the website it is secure.

Q. "I'm very discrete about this fetish", what will my banking statement for this transaction look like?
A. EVERY SINGLE PERSON on this website is discrete about this fetish including me. When you donate your statement will read: "KITG Donation". Its titled this way because I am Dvhour and the website name is abbreviated as KITG (Kicked in the Groin). We certainly can't have a banking receipt spell out the words Kicked in the Groin. FYI... I can not see the name of your bank, I do not see any of your banking accounts, credit cards or Paypal account information.

Q. What if we reach $1000 and there is excess money, where does that money go?
A. Again the money will be part of a pool to not only keep the site operational but for other future additional features, like bandwidth, storage, videos and photos. and other necessary features for the website. Any extra money left over will be used at the admin discretion. 

Q. When is the deadline?
A. Every year by November 3rd. PLEASE KEEP IN MIND, it takes like 3 to 8 business days for funds to be transferred and available. 

Q. Why can't we just build another website or join another social network?
A. KITG is not a website its a social network that we have been building up this site since October 13, 2009. Starting over means we loose the domain name, thousands of photos and videos, and thousands of members, plus the chat room and all our excellent forum discussions. This is a heavy price to pay.

Q. What is Ning and why is it different than using a website?
A. Ning is a platform that allows content creators (like me) to produce their own social network. In other words think of KITG as the Facebook of BB and CB. Kicked in the Groin is a social network featured on the Ning Network.

I'd like to add to the identity theft question.

 

While an 's' after the http does mean the connection between your browser and the server is secured, most identity thefts over the internet are the result of phishing, which happens when you click on a link which you believe directs to 

 

www.paypal.com/averylongstringwithallkindofcharactersincluding&...

 

but instead it takes you to something like:

 

www.paypai.com/averylongstringwithallkindofcharactersincluding&... 

 

And the web site looks exactly the same, which means 99 % of you are not going to notice, so if you want to make sure you're withing the other 1 % observe carefully and make sure that the address indeed starts with www.paypal.com.

If you're worried about paypal, you can always purchase a prepaid Master Card with no link to your personal assets. That's how i plan on donating this year.

Oh, I just wanted to point out that using SSL only guarantees a secured channel but you still have to make sure that the site you are requesting is in fact that yourself.

 

I did notice that SSL verification is now using a click-able icon in the green area which is really hard to miss along with a more readable certification for the end user, so that should make it a lot harder for successful phishing nowadays. With a service so big and important I can't imagine anyone successfully registering a domain similar to the real paypal, uploading a design exactly like the real paypal and receiving a certification for it anyway, so I wouldn't worry about it, though your 'prepaid Master Card' idea sounds interesting.  I imagine they require less personal info.

It's a great solution and I'm sure it'll work for you. By the way, you can hit the 'Reply' button on the bottom of a message to auto quote it. I think it makes for a nicer read.

I really hope a prepaid master card works for me, because that sounds like a good idea for donating this site :-)

Just wondering what's going on for 2012's fund drive ?

[Michael]

Maybe you should change the text a little bit? 3 $ a year are 0.82 Cents per day or 0.0082 Dollars per day.

As may question from last year (or even the year before that?) in the mail wasn't answered I want to ask here again:

Is there any possibility to give the chance to directly donate to the bank account via normal money transfer from my bank account?
I do not have credit cards or paypal and I am not planing to get any of it in the next few years. That's why I want to donate a little bit but can't!

[Josh]

Who do I title my send payment to for making a PayPal donation? What email?

When is the next drive

[Jessika K]

i have never ever had an issue donating cash to this site. Now for some reason it doesn't seem to recognize that I'm from Maryland and not from Canada and two, it want's my phone number which i will never submit. I've donated each and every year I've been a member and it used to be so easy. I wish I could help, but the glitches need to be fixed.
