"Projects, projects, projects. As in all categories, Kickstarter is for projects that can be completed, not things that require maintenance to exist. This means no e-commerce sites, web businesses, or social networking sites. (Yes, this means Kickstarter wouldn’t be allowed on Kickstarter. Funny, but true.)"
- slashclee 14y agoHow is Penny-Arcade's Kickstarter allowed then? (Not disagreeing, but it seems like they would run afoul of this if it were actually enforced.)
- orta 14y agoThey treat it as a funding for the project of "no ads for a year" rather than "pay to take ads off penny arcade"
- waterlesscloud 14y agoI suspect this rule is open to interpretation. They've allowed MMORPG projects of various sorts (Your World, Pathfinder Online). Those certainly would/will have ongoing maintenance to continue existing. It's likely all in how it's framed. There's probably a way to get this on KS if that's what is truly desired.
