As of now, the GamingOnLinux Forum is closed to user-created posts, and the only Forum left open (for now) is this one where I directly post updates. I'm not sure how long this specific Forum will stay up either, I'll eventually probably hook up some proper way to update people on website changes than a forum.
Why?
You can thank the UK's new Online Safety Act.
It's an incredibly wide-reaching law, that affects any website (not just in the UK either) with user-created content, including just plain text like this. They're very clear Forums are a target, and it puts me at great personal risk to continue to directly run a Forum.
Comments on articles will remain, as it's also clear that blog post comments are exempt. Thankfully.
There's some other changes coming that I will be forced to do as well, but more info on that later.
Once again, a well-meaning law, but one that affects all the little people. You'll likely end up seeing lots of other forums either shutting or geoblocking the UK completely.
We had a good run, see you in the comments.
As always if you need me for complaints, questions and such the best way has always been to email direct. There's also the Discord and Telegram.
This has absolutely no effect on news articles at all. Our content will continue as normal.

Additionally, new reporting options have now been rolled out today for comments on articles. And, when you report a post, it will collapse / hide for you so you don't have to see it. I've also added a Report option to the view all comments page.
There's also now a dedicated Patreon Supporter channel in the Discord.
