GDPR deadline

[amestaper]

The General Data Protection Regulation, or GDPR for short, has caused anyone who hosts a website headaches these last few weeks.

Notification emails have been sent out to the members with the highest post count, and if we see a response then that email may be rolled out to everyone else who's maybe posted once or twice when we find the time. It's likely you will have other emails in your inbox wanting you to agree to the same thing? In fact we know you will, as ours is rammed from websites we never even registered for.

We've lost a few members already tonight who haven't updated their email addresses and their emails were bounced right back, sadly there's nothing we can do about that unless they decide to come off Facebook and get back in touch before their accounts turn into pumpkins.

It's up to you. Click the 'I agree" button, otherwise it's adios forever and we will miss you.

Take care.

The jobs done. I've pruned 1650 users from the database who weren't doing much at all.

Some of you may notice your account is now a guest. Unfortunately that's where we are, but you can still make contact to reconnect again or re-register. Either way you will have to accept these new terms and conditions.

Who knows. Hopefully GDPR will be a good thing and our inboxes will be filled with less junk from now on?
