Sorry I haven’t been around much the past few days. First, I’ve had this heavy cold/light flu thing that seems to be going around. It wasn’t too bad TBH but it went through everyone in my household before me so I’ve been looking after them. Second, most of my time is spent building the new version of this site.

I’m hoping to get things moved to the new server in 3-4 weeks and will swap this site for the new one at that point. It makes it more complicated now, but should mean only a few hours of downtime during the transition instead of a few days or more.

Hoping to be able to open the new site for testing in the next week (or so).

I was just looking at the Master Dare List results table and it’s immediately obvious that the vast majority of participants have given permission for photos to be published. With the upcoming changes to the site, and the uncensored MDL table being moved inside the age-verified area, is now the time to stop accepting dare photos without permission to publish?

Inside the age-verified area, less people will see the photos and it’s a lot less public. Given the tiny number of non-published participants, I think it makes sense to only allow new dare submissions including permission to public those photos.

It is sad, but there’s also a lot of information which has expired, threads containing arguments, deleted posts (placeholders) from people who have left and hundreds of members who haven’t visited in months. We’ve also picked up some glitches and the site runs slower than it should given the server speed. A fresh start will clean up lots of stuff.

Existing Patreon memberships (including free ones) will continue. Just sign into the new site with your patreon login and it should work fine.

The Master Dare List will be carried over but I’m going to have to rebuild the entire table. I’m not sure what to do about people who don’t join the new site. I might only add people as they join (and let me know).

I’ll do video calls on Teams to check people look clearly over 18. If I’m not sure, I’ll asked for photo ID, but I would imagine that will be extremely rare. I won’t be storing any part of the ID. Gender and nudity can be tested at the same time. Most calls will have to be one-sided in terms of video/voice (especially voice) as I’m rarely on my own.

Can I point out I will be deleting this site before July 25th? A right to erasure request before that would not affect the data being deleted, as it’s all being deleted anyway.

If I was her, I’d be more worried about it looking like she is picking her nose 😂

Don’t worry about age verification for experiments. That’s completely separate. During the preparation stage, I chat to all the participants either in person or via Skype (as it was then), so age verification is not a problem.

The age verification is for gaining access to the parts of the community which will include nudity. No-one else will see those areas.

Those who are age verified don’t get a badge. There will be optional badges for “Verified Female”, “Verified Male” and “Verified Naked”.

I’m trying to come up with a name for the age-restricted area, not the people in it.

I don’t have to prove I checked it. What I need to prove is that I have a “robust” age verification system in place. If an inspector tests it, I’ll pass. If they ask me to describe it, it’s essentially the same as the one they use for alcohol, scissors, pharmaceuticals and glue. It’s the same as a barman checking ID. There has to be a system and, if it’s tested, it must work, but you don’t have to keep records of doing a check.

You can cover your name etc. on your photo ID. I’m unlikely ever to need to look at one, but if I do, I just need to see the photo, get a clear sense that the ID is genuine, and see the date of birth.I certainly won’t be taking down anything from the ID or keeping a copy of it.

Good to have you back!

That’s fascinating. I haven’t looked into that at all. Thinking about it, many of the people who run adult sites in the UK seem to be on the spectrum, certainly all the ones I’ve had dealings with.
