If you want to make a funny story, first include correct facts, like the fact Kametsu first existed in 2004, not 2006, and that the first anime encode under the Kametsu tag happened in 2006, not 2012.
As for how the site is funded? It's common knowledge to everyone that the answer is: 100% through donations. We have no need to place advertisements or anything else because the community loves the community enough to fully support it.
Which is great because it's an extremely costly thing. I added up how much has gone into maintaining the site since it's birth a few months ago because curiosity got to me. To date, over $12,000 has been spent in the 14 years it's been up on just server bills and software licenses alone.
Hi Koby (the man to whom every fact is a "farfetched story"). Kametsu is obviously involved in scams, steam account hacking, selling visitor information to phishing organisations, and hacking theie own user's computers, spying and stalking. Kametsu was not even and anime group / cult until late 2012. Back in 2006 Koby founded Kametsu.com and has payed server bills by unknown means. Surely blackmailing his users to pay for him. Koby is even unable ro directly say hoe does he pay his domain when asked. I am expressing my deep dessapointment in Kametsu. I once though of them as a group of people who love anime, and what to bring it to those who can't afford originals or are unable to import them. But I fear I I'm starting to believe Kametsu are just a group of internet criminals using anime as a disguise to do criminal acts on their own fans. Thank god they are so good at that disguise, that actually most of my precious anime collection is Kametsu releases. Sigh.
With stories like that, you must work for Fox News. If you're going to lie through your teeth, at least come up with something possibly believable or funny.
There is a user who has reported complete complete loss of internet connection on his laptop immediately after opening an email from Kametsu administrator IkarosBD.
I guess I will go have to search for rand and ask him miself, what weas this "delusional story". It seems to concern you since you took so much effort to shut him up outside of your doman and since you are avoiding wjat he actually said about you. Oh well. You sure you're not a government official?
Being unreasonable, attempting to doxx staff members, not obeying the rules, spreading false information because he got butthurt about being temporary kicked from the IRC channel by an automated bot that kicks for "cloning". The guy was paranoid and delusional, but he was a great story teller. Sometimes miss reading those conspiracy theories of his where he thought everyone including their dog was out to get him.
If you think being banned means communication is over for good, I envy you. Once a user is banned, they tend to reach out in every way they can and finding my personal email isn't that hard. Shoot banned users can obviously still use the contact form on any of the sister sites, etc... They contact me on Twitter, Facebook, email, IRC (I'm in like 60 channels across a half a dozen Networks), Discord, Steam (yes they even send me friend requests there lol), Nyaa, Anidex, AnimeTosho, etc.. Pretty much any site I visit becomes free reign for them to contact me on. Usually just leads to hitting the ignore button, or contacting site staff and getting them banned there too, but yeah whatever. I'm usually an easy going guy though and if people are willing to act reasonably mature, I don't mind letting them have multiple chances.
You'd be surprised to discover what other things the community offers besides what the Kametsu group itself releases (besides the fact that the community tends to get releases sooner while projects are on-going before the batches make it to public torrents so the community acts as a sort of public QC of sorts at times). A lot of the American cartoon rips actually happen by users of the community and as such land there before being spread out to other places like Myspleen and BTN among other things. Sure official Kametsu releases are always released by torrent, but not everything posted on the forum is, and a large portion of users can't or won't use torrents, which is the whole reason sites like AnimeTosho exist as well mind you; and yet there is MEGA, GoogleDrive, and various other file host links on the community; so it's no wonder people want to be there and so many people are willing to spam and ban evade to get there. But darn, this is starting to sound like an advertisement so I'll drop it, probably shouldn't have responded to anything to begin with, we've seen how that usually ends up.
Besides it's not always about what a site offers, sometimes it's simply about the community of friends you've made there. Especially when the community is 14 years old and some people have actually been around all that time. It becomes a big part of your life whether you realize it or not.
Why did he want to get unbanned so badly? All relevant Kametsu releases can be found on torrents anyway. There is literally nothing going on at the site since most people are at irc.
Yep, some troll named "rand" posted it after he was banned from the community over a year ago. Made a big deal about getting banned talking about ending his life cause he had nothing left going for him and when that didn't work he made a bunch of entries like that at Urban Dictionary and other similar sites as if it really bothered us, then continued begging to be unbanned. He even offered to pay $50 to get unbanned he wanted back in so badly, but obviously we refused. We don't take bribes.

It seems to be coming through now. It does seem like there were some difficulties with Solidfiles, with some files being rejected, which would've caused a slowdown. I'll see if I can improve it a little.
Domain resolves, but server does not provide a valid index.html (0 bytes) for me. Cloudflare customer server. Ping response present. SSL works. Maybe maintenance without pointing to some info page.
