Re: *WARNING* Kinkbomb is shady
I have to ask - does clipvia actually pay? Their twitter always made me go "uhhhhhhhhhh" and now their urgency in picking up those who closed their KB is... well, not important - but they're still on my "I need to give you another 6months and see..." list
"In this unique example, the studio owner had knowledge of the customer being fraudulent, performed service for the customer anyway, received the funds from KB, and does not wish to deal with the repercussions."
The thing though is she gave them a head's up of a "maybe" the tone o fthe alleged email they quote reads (to me) more as "make sure this sh!t is legit before processing payments so I dont get fucked over". I've done this before but now I won't in case I need to take legal action and itll be used against me
"It is always interesting to the Customer Service desk when studios get upset about changes to the site, new restrictions, or adjustments to the look/feel. KB is on the studio’s side first and foremost.....It is not as if KB makes changes or enacts regulations on a whim; but rather it is so that we can all continue to conduct business..."
This reads unnecessarily bitchy?
My store has been closed for a bit b/c of a bunch of reasons but it was largely due to my feeling like driving traffic to it wasn't worth it... but I was regretting it up to now. Not anymore.
Re: *WARNING* Kinkbomb is shady
Too bad this site has to resort to these kinds of unethical business practices to try to make an extra buck. I like the sites user friendly interface and advertisement. Clips4Sale seems like too much text on their site and isnt as colorful had kinkbomb. I really wanted to open up store with them but when they're doing this to so many studios it doesn't seem worth it to take the risk let alone support a site that is so shady
Re: *WARNING* Kinkbomb is shady
I found out mines was a chargeback. A legit one , I asked the guy who did it.
Re: *WARNING* Kinkbomb is shady
Don't know if anyone got this...but I got this in the e-mail the other day. None of my content is there anymore - but my studio is....
KB has never been anything but good to me so - good luck.

Dear Kinkbomb Studio Partners,
On Saturday, October 1st, Kinkbomb suffered a significant hardware failure causing the loss of multiple terabytes of content affecting many studios.
The failure not only affected live content, but the backup standards that were in place to protect against lost data.
Since then, Kinkbomb has been working around the clock to recover this material, at great cost and investment. While the recovery was initially estimated to take two to three days, it has now surpassed a week, and we do not see this issue being resolved until this weekend at the earliest.
In the meantime, Kinkbomb is taking other steps to attempt to best protect studios and customers:
New content, added since October 1st, is not affected by this issue.
Unavailable content is flagged at checkout, “The clip is currently unavailable. Please check back later.”
Customers who have purchased non-existing content are offered an extension to download content or may request a refund. Sales figures may be negatively affected once refunds are calculated. A full list of refunds will be made available to studios.
Additional backup standards are being setup and maintained to prevent similar circumstances in the future.
This technical problem has caused inconvenience and lost volume to many studios and a negative experience for several customers. Some studios have temporarily lost all their content, while others were completely unaffected.
In November, Kinkbomb.com will provide a special “make-good” program, designed in an attempt to mitigate October losses and propel studios towards the upcoming holiday season. Details of that program are still being finalized, but all studios will be able to participate.
Kinkbomb.com apologizes for this significant inconvenience and is ready and able to answer any questions you might have.
Sincerely,
Team Kinkbomb.com
