The site is Kickstarter. The idea behind Kickstarter is to provide funding for many different kinds of projects. For instance- if you have a book you want to try and self publish and need a certain amount of funds to get it going you post it on Kickstarter. You provide information about your project, about yourself, the money you need etc. Then people can donate money for your project. I thought, what a great platform for anybody to be able to fund their dream ideas without having to go to a bank that would probably turn you down anyway!!!
So, once I started digging I found alot of people saying that Kickstarter was a SCAM!! I do not know if this is true or not. I definately think this site is an awesome idea and would love to hear from anybody who has used it or know somebody who has used it and hear what they think.
Opinions and thoughts please!

It sounds like a great idea too, but I'm sure this site collects a good portion of your funds for its self to service the site and just as a money maker. Its a great idea though.

It would be a shame if it was a scam; people need websites like these to get a head start these days. But you do have to be very careful; asking on here is a great idea. I think I would be a little wary. There is obviously a reputation with this website if someone has mentioned it's a scam.
Good luck with the project.
