Friendly advice: don’t put money into Cumblr until they’ve shown design sketches or better: a working proof of concept.

The pitch is very light on details regarding implementation. The people running the campaign are anonymous. Their GoFundMe page has flexible funding, meaning they get all the money people donate, regardless of whether or not they make their goal. To me, that feels like a scam.

Their current site is barebones.(read: off-the-shelf site template) If there were people with project management, design or programming talent on board for this project, you could do a lot better than “it’s going to be like Tumblr for adult content” - either they have no plan at all, or will only start explaining it once they make the goal; which seems kind of sketchy, seeing as they set it to flexible funding. 

And yet, 73 people have dumped $1,479 into that project.

Someone is putting the cart before the horse. As far as we can tell, there is no plan. There is an idea. There is a name. There is a domain name. There’s a logo that’s literally the name of the site in one of the default Windows fonts. (Cambria) People should be super fucking skeptic about this.

But I get it. Now that everyone is panicking and scrambling to get away from Tumblr, people are willing to try anything because none of the alternatives fit for them. But that’s no reason to dump money into a crowdfunding project that is, as of right now, nothing more than a name.

Please ask whoever is running this Cumblr project to either share their plans, or give up this scam.

So it turns out Cumblr was birthed by someone in MY fucking server without MY fucking Authorization. I was aware of it, since I read what HE wanted to make and for the most part, I thought it was a Joke. I just dint think he’d actually GO FUCKING SCAMMING PEOPLE for this SHIT PROJECT. I had no idea how he was actually going to raise money for this fucking sham of a site. 

Once I get in touch with him and talk this shit over….couple things gonna be popping off. 

1. If hes still got the money I will PERSONALLY refund everyone's money (If he still has it) 

2. If he doesn’t…then Ill be forced to actually go through with this and fucking deliver this sham of a product.

3. He will be fucking banned from my server. (If it turned out he actually is scamming people) 

4. I will personally send an Apology to those 73 people for getting preyed on by this fucking anomaly of a human being. 

Sincerely, 

Tallyburd 

(PS FOR THE LOVE OF GOD DONT THROW MONEY AT SKETCHY PROJECTS LIKE THIS, PLEASE!!!)
