Suicidal? Read this.

If you're feeling depressed, you are free to reach out via PM. However, Kinmunity staff members (including myself) are not trained mental health professionals. We cannot promise to make the pain go away or provide counselling services. We can (and will) listen and empathize with you. We cannot promise an instant response as we all have lives outside of the website. As somebody who has struggled with depression, I can personally say this - if you message me personally, I WILL respond to you...

Where to Post?

Heyo all! We've noticed some people putting threads in the wrong place, so we felt it would be useful to make a little guide of where to put your threads when you're creating them. These are the boards we often find posted in improperly, or not used when they should be. Suggestion Box: Put suggestions for new features for the site here. Note: If you want a place for discussion that isn't currently covered by a forum board, you might be better off making a club for it instead (since that's...

On the Topic of Zoophilia

Hello, For as long as Kinmunity has been around, we've taken a "no discussion of zoophilia" stance, however as the community has grown, it's become increasingly difficult to ignore the crossover with alterhumanity (especially with regards to Therianthropy) and zoophilia. This isn't to say it's never been a thing until now, but rather that we as a site did not want to host the discussion of zoophilia, due to how heated the subject can get, as well as the issues of legality once the debate of...

Statement on Zoosexuality and Bestiality

Within the alterhuman community, the topic of zoosexuality seems to be a rather controversial issue with differing viewpoints and opinions on the matter. Unfortunately, the facts are that each year, an uncountable number of animals are traumatized, injured, or killed after aggressive or repeated sexual acts. Furthermore, animals are sometimes also trafficked specifically for sexual purposes. Animals are not capable of giving informed consent to sexual encounters with humans. It is wrong...

Hotlink Protection Enabled

A few other sites and members of said sites have decided that it is in their best interest to hotlink Kinmunity emojis without our permission. This includes emojis which we have direct and exclusive permission to use, and emojis that were created solely for the intent for use on Kinmunity. We are not going to allow them to waste our bandwidth displaying our exclusive content to their user base. This includes communities who have been identified as safety concerns by the Kinmunity...

Emails (Including Activation Emails)

We are investigating an email deliverability issue effecting multiple users, especially users of Outlook.com, hotmail.com, and other Microsoft email providers. During our investigation, we have discovered the following information: Anti-Spam provider "UCEPROTECTL3" lists all IP addresses delegated to OVH's ASN number. When UCEPROTECTL3 lists entire AS numbers, it operates as an extortion racket. There is no appeal for single IP addresses or CIDR ranges, except paying exorbitant amounts of...

Regarding Posting About Suicidal Ideation

Hi folks, Going forward, we are not allowing the discussion of suicidal ideation anywhere on Kinmunity, as the staff are not equipped to deal with these kinds of situations the way a professional would. We are all in support of you getting the help you need, but this site is not intended to be a therapist's office, and certain subjects necessitate staff intervention that we are not equipped to handle. Going forward, we will be shutting down conversation about suicide when it occurs and...

Successful Server Move

As you may have noticed by the small period of downtime, Kinmunity has moved to another server. This move was performed for a variety of reasons, including but not limited to: more storage space more processing power more RAM separation between Lycanthropy LLC production and testing grounds This will ensure continued stability of the site, as well as ensure privacy and security for all of our users. Since the server move is complete, we will be working on adding new features to the site...

Under New Management

Kinmunity is under new management.... but, also no. As of April 7th 2021, Kinmunity is now owned by Lycanthropy LLC. Lycanthropy LLC is a limited liability corporation, of which, I am the sole member and organizer. This change should mean absolutely nothing to you, but it is my responsibility to disclose it to you anyway. The Terms and Rules, About Us, and Privacy Policy pages have been updated to reflect this fact. This does not mean that we're going corporate, or that advertisements will...

An update is afoot!

You know, it seems like we're updating the site on the daily now. After a prolonged period of inactivity as far as development and updates on Kinmunity are concerned, it only makes sense to make up for that by releasing new stuff as much as we can! This update is a slightly smaller than some of the other ones we've released here -- but bare with us, more is on the way! :coolw: The Consent Update Access to the NSFW sections of the site is now available by opt-in only. This requires users to...

A site update? Oh my!

The first way to start off this update is to announce that we've got some new forums. We don't normally add forums which are suggested to us as we have plenty of discussion forums on the site, and for most things, it is easier to just have users create their own areas using our social groups system. However, due to repeated requests for them, we've added several this update. New forum, new me! New Section - The Burrows New Forum - Mental Health (thanks @Ravenna Freyasdottir) New Forum -...

Security Notice - Therian-Guide

DISCONTINUE USE OF THERIAN-GUIDE – DO NOT VISIT! Original Post re: Therian-Guide Allegation (archive), (image), (image archive) Recent allegations made against The Therian Guide have caused the safety of the site to be called into question. Particularly, at this time, I believe the site to be extremely unsafe for users under the age of eighteen. However, due to a pattern of threats made by the administrators against further users, I also believe the site to be unsafe for adults to use as...

Site Updates (yay)

Woo! It's update time again! Major Layout Changes "What's New" is now front and center, as it allows members to easily discover new content. "Tickets" tab is now tucked away in the "Members" section, as there is a redirect forum linking to the ticket center as-is. We've rearranged where different sections of the site show up in the header, hopefully more aligned with how people actually use Kinmunity. Android App Kinmunity now has an Android App. On-Site Chat Kinmunity now has an...

With that in mind, I present you with one of the biggest updates we've had in a long while. This update includes the usual rounds of bug fixes, but it also includes new features and improved experiences throughout the site as a whole.

Donations Needed

As you know, Kinmunity is funded almost entirely out of pocket by @Alynna and myself. As it currently stands, I am facing financial difficulties due to the COVID-19 pandemic and would greatly appreciate assistance, as I pay approximately $36 / mo to keep the site up and that bill is coming due.

Updates

It's been a while since a major update was introduced to the site. Actually, it's been about three months I believe! I think more than enough time has passed and that it's time to introduce some exciting new changes to Kinmunity. Our site has been updated once again, and hopefully will bring you an experience that's better than ever. So, let's dive into some changes, shall we? Under the hood, we have upgraded to the final version of Xenforo 2.2 and we left 2.1 behind. This introduces some...

Important Notice

@Alynna has been given full admin rights (same access as me). She was an original founder of Kinmunity and has stepped up to help with a lot of things. I am going through a lot in my personal life right now and I no longer wish to be the public face of the site. My notority and "fame" if you will has gone to my head, and has caused serious problems with the two people I love more than anything in this world, among other things. I am transferring day-to-day operation of the site to her at...

Welcome, Alynna.

Many of you may not know this, but the original Kinmunity was the brain-child of myself and @Alynna. We founded the original site back in 2014 after the closure of Wulf Howl. The site has gone through many incarnations since then, but ultimately retains the original concepts that Alynna and I envisioned. Today, Alynna rejoins the administration team as a Sr. Community Manager. Welcome back!
