Important Notice for UK MEMBERS & VISITORS

With the upcoming enforcement of the UK Online Safety Act and the provisions from Ofcom concerning 'user-to-user' platforms—specifically the Duty of Care, Protection of Children, and Age Verification requirements in response to the Orwellian term "Legal but Harmful" content—we plan to block access to FCF from UK IP addresses in the near future.

What does this mean for UK users or visitors?

If you are accessing this site from a UK IP address, you will no longer be able to access FCF. To continue using the forum, you will need to explore alternative methods of access. There are several options available.

While we could implement an age verification system, the costs could become prohibitively high due to the necessity of using a recognized verification service (which charges per verification) and a geo-IP location service (which incurs a monthly fee).

We are still evaluating our next steps, but for now, this serves as a heads-up to all UK visitors.

Thank you for giving us notice.  We in the UK are in increasing need of escapism from the Third World totalitarian cesspit into which we are rapidly descending.

What you need is to have Draft Dodger Donnie issue a really big executive order guaranteeing your rights to access what ever the hell you want.   There; that should do it. ::) I will call him immediately.    >:(

Disaster !! Surely there must be some work around. Can we not do our own age verification in our profile

It will be a shame to lose access to the only real catfight forum on the net I'll miss lots of people

If you have to do it please give specific number of days notice so we can find solutions our end, maybe a vpn might work ??

Most people in England are sheep.

Has the worry been overcome? International access appears unaltered, thankfully.

Never even saw this post until right now
Been an issue today but that's the first time had trouble and guess it's unrelated as I've now got back on without changing anything
Had this UK stuff been pushed back or thankfully not happening anymore
