IMGUR has now geo-blocked the UK so pictures won't load anymore.

Juts a heads-up for fellow users - IMGUR has now geo-blocked the UK due to the risk of being fined by the UK Government due to the Online Safety Act. This means that , without using a VPN etc, no-one from the UK will be able to see pictures hosted by IMGUR, which means many threads on here will "suddenly" lose lots of their images.

My own thread for example, is littered with IMGUR hosted pictures, alongside those I hosted myself, so whilst I still have my own pictures and copies of those hosted on IMGUR, it'll take me a while to sort out this mess.

I don't blame IMGUR at all for this, I fully 100% blame both Labour and the Tories for trying to put the genie back into the bottle with this extremely ill-thought out law which stood no chance of actual, real life "child protection", yet as we're ruled by technologically illiterate buffoons we all have to suffer the consequences.

I'd be surprised if, now one "big" company has done it, many others don't follow their lead and also geo-block the UK, which is far cheaper than talking a risk of a stupid fine.
