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."

Discord will require a face scan or ID for full access next month

Age verification for all.

@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 ?
