Hmm. Kindof cool, of more interest to me is that I had no idea Obsidian was behind the stick of truth and a couple of those others lol. Mainly because I didnt pay attention to Stick of Truth as I dont like south park sooo yeah but still.
Pillars of Eternity though Iā€™m going to have to get at some point.

alright. guess whitelist isnā€™t too bad for now

That game looks amazing. Its such a shame Sega cancelled it that far along in development. Some of the features they discussed in that game were mindblowingly good.

Also yes
well I only like cigars but meh I digress
Will probably just make threads mostly in lounge categories under each with the exception of article-like posts.

Because invite only is a thing
Basically just because if we have those have to verify people are 18 for them. Well actually not really as I never plan to have a market here unless thereā€™s a large volume of requests for it or something but still (because internet rules that I actually perfectly understand why they exist now so I will have them here too for the most part)

Also will maybe make new badges for various things :smiley:

I donā€™t really see why this would be an issue? unless yeah you have a store but otherwise isnā€™t illegal to talk about this stuff so its fine.

neat. weā€™ll have to think of some interesting stuff for people to do for them :smiley:

Perhaps. Though it does not like OBS that much for some reason with the newest version of that but still can play it when not streaming so ??

Not even if you record the desktop directly instead of game capture?

Well there would be the whole thing if someone who is under 18, starts talking about themselves smoking and etc is a bit of a grey area. And us talking to them about it is very grey area.
Not that I am one one to judge its just I also donā€™t want the site taken down (nor I think do others here lol.)
The way R/cigars does it is quite smart imo, if you are under 18 in the subreddit and they find out you get banned from it until you are 18.
Could do that here but with the categories.
Not that anyone cares about it muchā€¦ But you never know so?
The drinking one is a whole other thing and that varies from state to state so I am not going to worry as much about that one. Some places is 18, others is any age if you have parents buy it, some is 21+ only so is fine.

(And outside of the US its literally random lol)

I have no idea how to get it to work tbh but it really doesnt like game or window capture.
May reinstall both a few times and see what happens

yea i guess it could be seen as bad in that respect. my thought was that as long as we are not actively encouraging underage people than it would be fine but yea grey areas.

I mean drinking age here is 18 and that is where the server so shouldnā€™t be a problem if you required 18 and somebody wasnā€™t 21 in their state? also legal smoking age here is 16 you just canā€™t buy them if you arenā€™t 18.

Also this mostly because every single cigar website (also cigarettes but I dont like those so dont visit them as much) website regardless of whether they have a store or not has a ā€œare you 18ā€ clickable when you first go there, or warnings saying you shouldnt use the site if you are under 18 so Iā€™m guessing that theres laws about these things being on the internet.

The drinking one is whateverā€¦ My thoughts on that are if someone is drinking and posts that they are, and they are underage ā€¦ Fine? Its on the internet and if they get in trouble as a resultā€¦ Oops? I know Ive posted while drinking and by now everyone know more or less how old I am lolā€¦
And as we probably wont run a store there shouldnt be an issue there. And also I donā€™t think many places really go after it unless we were promoting that kind of thing, or people used our site for bad things (which wont happen). So. My thoughts on that lol @Michael

And Iā€™m certainly open for debate on it as well. This is our forum not just mine or whatever

Iā€™m mostly indifferent on it but having an age restriction might be a smart idea just to be on the safe side. after all we donā€™t want to get in trouble over it.

(Im massively going off my very limited legal knowledge and US laws)

We should be ok. Even if people are underage and admit to it then they can always plea the fifth

Id ask @wolfleben but I know he definitely canā€™t (and/or wonā€™t) answer lol

And yeah @Dje4321 this is more if the forum gets to the point we actually have randoms lol. For now is mostly just people we know so its more than fine as is. Just was thinking about rules for various threads.

I mean if what @Dje4321 said is true then it should be fine. my only thought would be that if we were encouraging people to actually do it instead of them just admitting it then it might be an issue.

Hey @Dje4321

@TheDiddilyHorror said that heā€™s canā€™t access the lounge anymore. Iā€™ve checked and heā€™s still in the group but seems moderators only have access now?

And heres the grey area again lol.
The we should have some kind of rules about it but also technically thereā€™s nothing wrong with it but there might be?

Could just do a warning? Something else? or? at the beginning of the thread about it.
