When the UK Online Safety Act came into place, I and others had a ridiculous set of hundreds of pages to go through and Ofcom were not exactly helpful with their information on what was in scope and what was not. With potentially massive life shattering fines for non-compliance - I had to protect the wider GamingOnLinux site. But, with all the improvements I've made over the last year especially with our better reporting and moderation systems, I am confident it will be fine to exist again.
It now works the same as article comments with posts that contain links and media requiring approval, and you have to be logged in for clickable links, everything else posts as normal. This is just to doubly ensure that we don't get any nefarious content that breaks our rules and would make Ofcom come knocking to complain. All the normal rules still apply, break the rules and bans will be handed out as we always do to protect the community.
And, I will not remove the forum again in future unless the worst happens and Ofcom decides to investigate and finds an actual problem that I cannot solve, but then I will be willing to discuss it with them and engage with them on it. I've already made everything else adhere to the law as best as possible. The key thing is, that any enforcement action would be appropriate to our size and we're not Facebook or X/Twitter. We're pretty tiny in terms of actual community size.
All previous content is still here, enjoy! For now we're sticking to two main categories of general chatter and website / forum updates and info. Will expand that if really needed.
There's also been a lot of bug fixes. Getting the Forum back online was quite a lot of effort, as it was one of the oldest bits of the website. It should run smoother than ever now.
The forum sidebar, and latest posts on your profile have also returned!

Thank you Liam :)
Glad to know there was, and now again is.
I've been reading the site for a a few years, since moving to Linux, and looking forward to being part of the community.
