Hello everyone, this is a notice that a few things will change due to the EU regulations (GPDR).
Changes that will happen today and tomorrow:
1. The board will be closed. Maybe it will stay in a read-only mode, however login or new registrations will be disabled.
2. Comments will be removed from the main site.
3. Adversiting will be removed. I will keep paying for the servers out of my own pocket for now.
4. Facebook/Twitter/etc like+share buttons will be removed.
Im sorry i have to remove these features, but i really have no other choice. Just getting the site to be in conformity with the law is a lot of work already, and i honestly have no idea what i have to provide in my privacy policy to be able to keep these features.
Failure to comply with the law could mean up to a 20 million € fine for me. This is simply a ridiculous law for smaller sites, and i hope you understand that i dont really have a choice here.
Thank you, it was nice having you around.
EDIT:
Okay, i think the comments and board can stay for now.
Advertising and Share buttons however were removed. Also the Index has some issues and is offline for now.

There is a theory wich states that if ever anyone discovers exactly what the Universe is for and why it is here, it will instantly disappear and be replaced by something even more bizarre and inexplicable.
