LOOKS LIKE GOODBYE

[Mallory {The Boss}]

As most of you know, KITG survives by donation only. This website is owned by Ning, who charges us a huge yearly fee to keep us online. Every year in July, we ask that members donate to keep the site going. The fee is due around late August and is about a thousand dollars, depending on the specifics. With 7000 members here, we should be able to cover that easily. But, the reality is not everyone wants to donate and every year we just barely make it. Sad, but true.  

This year, we have a new problem. As you may have noticed, there was no Donation Period. KITG was created five years ago by Dvhour, my site partner/friend. I helped him first behind the scenes, from the beginning, until I took on the role of Site Admin a few months in. We both have contributed and collaborated on ideas for the site and it has evolved nicely over the years. As the years have passed, DV has had less and less time to give to the site, due to work projects and family obligations. I will always have love for my friend, but the reality is that I have been carrying the site for the past two to three years. He checks in behind the scenes once in a while, but I believe in showing a presence and have done so nearly every single day. Lately though, I have been been wrapped up in several job and family situations, including being the caregiver to a very sick family member. This is taking up all of my time and some days I have no internet access (which is why videos were piling up to be approved). DV is aware of my situation, but as I've said, he is rarely here. He is not the bad guy; sometimes life gets in the way.  

Here's the deal: DV is the one who handles the Donation Period every year; all notices from Ning go to him because he is the Site Creator. I have been reminding him many, many times since June that we need to get this going. We haven't spoken much lately, so I leave him messages and sometimes catch him on g-chat, where he has assured me several times that he would take care of this. As I told him, I've been doing 90% of the work, so all I ask is that he do the Donations. Again, he assured me he would. But, here we are quickly approaching the end of August.and I have heard nothing from him since August 3rd. So dear members, I felt it was time that I be straightforward with all of you and tell you the truth: I do not know what is going to happen to KITG. I do not know how much time we have left online. I don't have specifics on deadlines, I only know that our fee is usually due by the end of August. If Ning does not receive its payment, I have no idea how long it will be before they take us offline.  

I wanted you to know that I tried...and tried...and tried, but it is out of my hands now. If this is indeed the end, and with every day that passes, it's looking more and more like it is, I want to go out with truth. Dvhour laid out the foundation, and I think I fleshed out the basics and gave this place a personality. Yeah, admittedly at times that personality was borderline bitchy, but gottdamn it's hard to keep this shit going day to day, dealing with 7,000 different member personalities, enforcing the rules, keeping the troublemakers out, going through loads of new material and member applications every.single.day. But I thank DV for trusting me enough to run the site.  

The fun part was decorating the homepage and chatting with my beloved Chatmonsters :) I've met some really cool peeps here and even had an adventure or two (meow ;) I've learned a lot from you and I thank you sincerely for your candor. I shared a lot with you too, and THAT is what I am most proud of, that DV and I created a place where we all could feel comfortable and BE FREE to talk and share and express ourselves in a fun and friendly community who share a love of this wonderful fetish. All the time and energy, all the blood, sweat and tears...it was all worth it to have shared this with you.  

Someone here once told me that I was the heart and soul of this place. From the heart and soul, I thank him...and you.

May you all find your bb Nirvana.

Wow.. So sorry to see this go if it happens.. There really is no other non porn, non dungeon, place to go for disgussing, and seeing ballbusting as it was well put a "cheerful, and cozy" way.. 

If there has been a request for funding, I would have contributed, did I miss something? So sorry to see this go.

Whatever happens, thanks to both you & DV for all of your work, dedication, efforts, time, etc. This is a great site and, while it would be a shame to lose it, life - as you pointed out - sometimes gets in the way. You've done a wonderful job all these years and I greatly appreciate it.

[KingMe]

Wow it looks like this is really It. I would be lying if I said I wasn't sad to see this place go. It really is too bad, in my eyes it was one of the best BB sites out there. The only one I ever really went and enjoyed. Thank you Mallory, you are forever awesome, and thanks to DV for really starting something great here. I will miss you all.

Is there any way to save/download videos posted here? There's one video in particular that used to be on google video, but got deleted and this site is the only place I can find it on the internet!!!

This is very sad, especially since I'm new here. But I suppose now is a good time for me to speak my mind. I've become quite familiar with this site and I've come to realize it is almost a family. I can see how your hard work has paid off. Considering that you have other obligations, I can't imagine how difficult it is for you to keep this place lively. As disappointing as this situation may be, I can tell you with certainty that I'm speaking for all of us that you succeeded in your efforts to make this place successful. It may be the end, but it wasn't all for nothing. You've made an impact on my life, despite the fact that I only recently became aware of your existence and you have no personal connection with me whatsoever. I think others would agree that you've done a great job, and that you are more than just some distant admin that casually watches over us. You're passionate (in a quite entertaining way) and you made us all happy. With that in mind, you should be very proud of what this curious site came to be, whether or not it meets its demise. Thank you.

:( This is heartbreaking. I really enjoy coming here, sharing fantasies, feelings, and stories. I haven't been a member as long as some, but it is my BB home, it's where I landed, and there will never be another place quit like it. So yeah, that kind of hurts me. Thank you guys, Mallory, DV, and everyone who I have chatted with, and exchanged messages with, you will never know how much I learned, and how differently I view BB now. Thank you so much.

I have not posted any videos, and only recently have I had the courage to share my my life experience in ballbusting on the blog. However, I have visited this site for years and this is sad to hear. I would love to contribute to keep this going. 

If everyone wants to save it we should do something about it before this place goes!!

[Smoo]

Just wanted to share what the site has been for me.  Sure, its great to chat about BB and share stories and all that - however, I have also made some genuine friends.  Like real friends where we text almost daily, chat/skype, are friends on FB and even send prezzies at the holidays.  That to me is what the site has been about - relationships.  I'll miss it sadly.  Should a last min donation drive come into effect you can certainly count me in!

In either case, thanks a million, both caraMAL and DeeeVeee!

(Mal - my all time fav site decoration is still the lil vampire going "blahhh!")

[charlotte sweeper]

I agree with Smoo, this place has helped me learn and explore this crazy fetish of ours. I also have made true friends on this site. Two of whom I met and busted many more I've chatted with on other venues and even on the phone. When I was first starting out everyone was very nice and helpful with all my multitude of questions. I will miss the site if it ends but I know I've made some great friends here. Thank you to Dvhour and Mallory for all your hard work. You've created a lovely place that many of us can call our BB home. You've helped a lot of us find out that we're not crazy nor are we alone.

Hugs and thanks to you all.

Sigh....such a great site. I wish I tool advantage of it whilr I had time like you did.

[nolizards]

Mallory and DV, I've always appreciated the hard work you put into this site and it has been a wonderful few years and I've met some amazing people here. Thanks so much for your hard work and efforts and I hope you'll find that it has been rewarding as well. And if you decide to try and save it or make a pay site or something like that I'll chip in as always.

Cheers!

$1000 a year? I think you guys should be looking elsewhere for hosting for a start.
