Do you have any examples of implicit acceptance of arbitrary contracts merely through accessing a network resource?

Of course not - The contract would be made when money was exchanged, not when the site was accessed.
Sure, but the money is exchanged between kickstarter and the participants (backers and makers). The participants don't exchange directly with each other.
Yup, that is a likely counter argument to be made in court if anyone ever sues over these issues. As I said, though, this is civil law, so it would come down to how lawyers argue it and what judges think. In civil cases, answers are rarely black and white.
