I thought the agreement we weren't in scope and/or too small to be on the radar?

How old was @Mito Man when he started posting
I have to declare that my YouTube content is NOT made for kids every time I upload. Even though it could be arguably eduational in some respects, it causes all kinds of other issues so not worth it.

Re: 18+ Sites and ID Checks
I was 17. Not really following this whole topic much. Was the EVO forum a secret porn site that I should not have been admitted in?
How about not having a sig at all?

PWIG and DTEN were under 18 too; only one of them is still here but he was once a child.Mito Man wrote: Mon Jul 28, 2025 10:37 pm I was 17. Not really following this whole topic much. Was the EVO forum a secret porn site that I should not have been admitted in?
Re: 18+ Sites and ID Checks
I think the original forum goes back to either 1998 or 1999, so I would have been 18/19 when I joined.
There was a forum member back in the very early days, who posted some links to a site which today would definitely would require this forum to need to be covered by the online safety bill
(and the forum was so unmoderated by the magazine, the posts/links didn't even get removed!)

Re: 18+ Sites and ID Checks
Many years ago to teach people a lesson on not leaving their computer unlocked one of the guys I worked with would set the browser homepage to a lovely website for excrement fetish.
It was a great lesson in security. You didn’t fucking do it again.
I can imagine the list of HR offences that would gather these days.

I was 14 when I joined the original blue forum.
Jesus Christ I am old.
I should have invested in VPN companies... who in their right minds is uploading their drivers licence to pornhub?? Let alone the, ahem, more niche websites some forumites might frequent, claiming immunity from prosecution as it was legal in the country in which it was filmed?

The Evo forum really is a shadow of its former self. I remember when the internet was for the elite and now they seem to let any spastic on

He doubled down on it a couple of days ago.
