Donating to the Kiwi Farms​

We need 600 users donating $20 a month to make the site sustainable. This is less than 5% of users who sign in every day. With 600 users donating $20 a month, we get the following:
  • The ability to reinvest into hardware and custom software.
  • Legal financing to deal with our outrageous liability.
  • Security for sudden expenses like hard drive failures.
  • Flexibility in dealing with threats, i.e. DDoS protection.
For $20 a month, you get:
  • Access to the supporter forum.
  • Gilded border and badge (optional).
  • Special rating stickers.
  • Sponsor-a-post to the front page with a banner or automatic preview.
  • The Kiwi Farms for years to come.
The forum is a cultural pillar of the Internet and it punches far, far above its weight all the time. We do a lot with a little, but I still need that little to keep going.

How to Donate​

There are two ways to donate:

1. Cryptocurrency. Bitcoin, Litecoin, and Monero payments are now instant and automatic. See this post for more information.

2. Check in mail. You can send anonymous USPS money orders or arrange monthly automatic payments from your bank. See this post for more information.

That's it. I cannot accept gift cards, cash in mail, credit cards, Venmo, whatever. If you somehow don't know, I am globally banned from processing payments by all financial institutions due to my association with this website. I can cash checks, that is it.

Rewards​

One-Time Donations​

If you donate any amount you are permanently upgraded to "True & Honest". This includes:
  • The green donor banner.
  • Access to the supporter forum.
  • Access to certain ratings (Semper Fidelis, Deviant, Indian Content).
  • Permanently.

Recurring Donations​

I encourage anyone who uses the site regularly to donate $20/mo. If 600 users donate $20/mo, it would permanently stabilize our finances and permit me to actually invest into the future of the site instead of just putting out fires. 600 users represent less than 5% of users who log in every single day.

In exchange, you get:
  • Permanent True & Honest.
  • Black and Gold banner (optional, toggleable).
  • Gold avatar trim (optional, toggleable).
  • Access to certain ratings (Jewish Content).
  • Access to the Sponsor-a-Post system.

The gold banner and trim are seen above. The ability to turn them on or off is also as simple as ticking and unticking checkboxes.

Sponsoring a Post​

This system is under development and the specifics may change. In general, you will be able to periodically feature specific posts on the website, and any user who can see that post will see your sponsorship of it on certain pages of the forum.

As of January 30th, 2026, you can feature one post for up to seven days every three days. You may choose to feature a preview of that post or a custom banner you upload yourself. The banner has specific size limitations. The promotions appear on the front page of the site under the moderator featured posts.

The form should be self-explanatory.

Thread Highlights​

A thread which has any highlights, postmarks, or global features will have a button on the top-right to view a threaded, paginated mode showing only those posts.

Example:

I have been hesitant to add such a feature because it would create a "reddit upvote dilation" problem where popular posts get seen more, reacted to more, and promoted more, even if as-good-or-better posts exist next to it. Since this feature only exists for a small subset of users, it will not cause as much of an issue.

View replies​

Any post which has any other post quoting it or embedding it will have a link in the action bar to View replies.

Thank you!




F.A.Q.​

Q. My bank says my check was cashed. Where is my gold?
There is a delay between the check being deposited by our financial institution and the check "clearing", making it available to me by API. This is several business days.

Q. Can I send more than $20? Can I send $40 every two months? Can I send $240 a year? Can I send less? What happens if I send an odd amount like $31?​

Yes. Amounts are applied pro rata, which is to say: You will get your money's worth, always.

The formula for calculating time goes as follows:
  • Take either the existing expiration time of your upgrade OR the current time at the point the payment is processed.
  • Add +n months, where n is the quotient of $AMOUNT divided by $20).
  • Add +x hours, where x is the remaining amount over $20, then multiplied by the total number of hours in the month. Specifically, the hours in the month arrived at after Step #2.
Example:
If you donate $31 and it is processed by me on January 1st, your upgrade will expire on February the 16th at 8pm (1 month + 55% of the amount of hours in February).

No refunds, including if you are banned. This is a way to support the forum and the gimmicks are just my thank you.
