LFGSS and Microcosm shutting down 16th March 2025 (the day before the Online Safety Act is enforced)
It's minor thing, but the fine is up to £18 million or 10% of turnover, which ever is higher.
This rule is likely there to make sure the penalty for a Facebook or tiktok is really chunky. The problem is, it is also mad scary for anyone else, even those not turning over anything.

LFGSS and Microcosm shutting down 16th March 2025 (the day before the Online Safety Act is enforced)
I've held off commenting mainly because i refuse to believe this could be the end, and because I can't add much to the pages of sentiments already expressed.
This morning's posts give me some hope. I do feel like this thing is too valuable to just let slide away - but I also understand that it all resting on @Velocio's shoulders seems insane.
Here's hoping those infinitely more knowledgeable than me can find a way. If we need more $$$ to keep the show on the road I'm more than happy to increase my monthly donation.

It seems to have no effect

Sounds like an immigrant who hasn't integrated herself into British culture to me, which is ironic.

Bit off topic, but made a discovery this morning. Had some left over mincemeat from the weekends homemade effort (work in progress as my pastry game is lacking) and added some to my morning bowl of granola...fantastic. Feels a bit wrong having a brandy lashed breakfast, but it's Christmas right?

Grey, calm and cold.

Brill thanks! More space for other stuff in the big box of entertainment storage.

Got a question for the hive mind.
I'm building a TV/audio bench type thing for our living room. I'm a streaming convert, though my partner in particular still likes to stick a cd on and has a dvd collection they refuse to part with. Actual usage of both mediums is rare. We currently have a dvd player which plays through the tv and cd player that plays through an amp/speakers.
Question - would a dvd player like the cambridge audio DVD86 pitcutred below allow me to do both with one device? Plug a scart or hdmi into the telly for dvds and run some audio cables into the amp for cds?
DVDs will play through telly speakers as long as amp turned off. CDs will play though amp when thats turned on?

Bit blustery over there this weekend.
From a purley selfish point of view, I'd much rather a gradual enshittification of the forum as it's handed over and no longer guided by the steady hand of velocio, than the day one cold turkey of an instant switch off. 17th March gonna be an absolute head fuck if it happens.
