If the legal folk here conclude the same as I did, that we'd be in the zone of having to implement age verification, scanning of file attachments, scanning of DMs, new reporting tools
I'm not sure I want to be part of a place IRL or on the internet that has been bent over by the government this hard. It's a bike forum. On one hand I want it to continue but on the other hand I'd rather torch everything, flip the censors the bird and move my communication ever further underground.
Can you imagine how long it will take me to pick a crankset when I have to encode specifications of it in microfilm to fly on carrier pigeons to some groupset oracle living in a cave in France...

Bear in mind that the good will of a few people saying "I'll put my name to being a Director" isn't enough.
If the legal folk here conclude the same as I did, that we'd be in the zone of having to implement age verification, scanning of file attachments, scanning of DMs, new reporting tools, etc... then you need to also identify engineers who can give time to building these things, as well as additional costs to pay for third party services to do these things... hence the decision to set things up and move forward is linked to how realistic it is that we could comply with whatever recommendations arise from the Ofcom risk assessment, or to have a reasonable story why we don't have to.
