Time to dust off those early 2000s forums!
"Discord announced on Monday that it’s rolling out age verification on its platform globally starting next month, when it will automatically set all users’ accounts to a “teen-appropriate” experience unless they demonstrate that they’re adults."

@stefan BBSes are still going strong!
@stefan That time has been for some time. Moreover since Discord is closed and basically unsearchable, while forum-based knowledge lasts and is easy to find.
@stefan I miss the old school forums. Some even had a very nifty live chat.
Why did we stop using them ? What have we done ?
@stefan en💩 tification strikes again....
@stefan those forums and communities were pretty straightforward and awesome. I miss them!
@Pomegranatepirate Definitely! Simpler times!
I remember forums and when PHP was created. The golden age of the internet, post #EternalSeptember
@dianea It would be nice to bring some of that back!
The good parts, at least. Miss getting all those happy birthday wishes!
@stefan As with so many things, it was nice while it lasted.
