Just to reiterate AWT will be shutting down in February 2025, not least because subs aren't covering costs and I no longer play, but from a legal standpoint come March I will be liable for up to £18m thanks to new laws introduced in here in the UK https://www.ofcom.org.uk/online-safety/illegal-and-harmful-content/time-for-tech-firms-to-act-uk-online-safety-regulation-comes-into-force/.
I can not afford the money, resources nor effort into making the site and forum compliant. Unless someone is willing to take this off my hands in the next few weeks to keep it going, although no one was forthcoming last time.
So I am setting a hard date of 1st February 2025. I will cancel the few subs at the end of December and turn off the Paypal account to prevent new payments
This community has been around for quite a while now and I am sad to see it go this way, but given the nature of the site and sledgehammer approach by our government to tech it's making it impossible for communities like this to exist.
Thanks all
