Hi. Google online safety act. It came up on the news feed last week. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Cranfield Posted Monday at 14:59 Report Share Posted Monday at 14:59 ""The Act places new safety duties on social media firms, search engines, messaging, gaming and dating apps, and pornography and file-sharing sites." " I don't think "hobby" forums like ours are what they are aiming at. This forum is well moderated, has clear Rules and you have to be a member to post.

Vince Green Posted yesterday at 08:59 Report Share Posted yesterday at 08:59 Forums generally are in decline. Several that I used to go on have greatly reduced in size and the amount of activity Replaced by Facebook groups and WhatsApp groups.

Genghis Posted 22 hours ago Report Share Posted 22 hours ago There is a MMA forum that I am a member of that has a ‘rants’ section - basically a section of the site where the normal forum rules do not apply, only outright illegal activity and explicit media are banned. It’s mostly used to insult other members. I do wonder how much longer sites like that will last. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

marsh man Posted 15 hours ago Report Share Posted 15 hours ago I have never been on any other forum but I doubt there are many , if any as good as this one , a few weeks ago when it went off air for a few days I missed it more than I ever thought I would and I very much doubt I was the only one , the people on the other end are not robots and if they were then I have met some very nice and genuine robots , none of us agree on everything and at times it might get a little heated but that soon pass and we are soon back as one big happy family , although a lot of families are not always as happy as we are .
