When I saw the headline I wondered whether it was about the Goblins comic game where the game developer basically took the money and disappeared. The web comic artist is trying to make sure that backers get at least the game (edit: maybe?), but he's been hampered by Kickstarter's refusal to let him have the list of backers since he wasn't part of the Kickstarter itself.
I know it pissed him off no end when Kickstarter decided to send his name out to the backers saying "[he's going to get you your stuff]" while still refusing to tell him who the backers were. Not a fine moment there.
The comic: http://www.goblinscomic.org/ http://www.goblinscomic.org/
I believe this is the latest update: http://www.goblinscomic.org/kickstarter-making-the-mafia-look-like-chucky-cheese-since-2009/ http://www.goblinscomic.org/kickstarter-making-the-mafia-loo... in which Kickstarter sent out that promise while linking all those unknown-to-Tarol backers to a page with Tarol's home address.
Updates: added detail link, plus a bit more detail on it.

Wow, that Goblinscomic guy fails at web design 101. There's a huge black graphical bar in the background with black text that males the left inch of that paragraph unreadable.
- fencepost 11y agoPossibly your adblocker is overambitious? I'm mobile right now but it's working in current Firefox, Dolphin and Chrome on Android. Black area is the background for a left side vertical ad, but even with Bluhell Firewall blocking in Firefox the layout is fine.
- yellowapple 11y agoI'm on Conkeror (basically Firefox) with Adblock. It looks like (to me) that the text doesn't line up with the background image, causing some of the text to instead cover that black bar. Seems odd; you'd think the text and the background would be part of the same div or whatever.
- fencepost 11y agoI'm going to say this is definitely an Adblock Plus rules problem. I'm not using it in Firefox (no need with NoScript and RequestPolicy), but I do have the adblockplus.org version in Chrome and get the problem there. Disabling Adblock Plus for the site fixes the display. I'm not going to dig into it, but I suspect that it's a case of floated divs and Adblock Plus is removing not just the ad or its iframe but the entire div that it's in, thus allowing everything else to move left.
- jmgrosen 11y agoIt works fine for me in Conkeror with no AdBlock.
