I remember phpBB having a popular emoticon addon, or maybe arcade addon, that ended up compromising a few of the message boards I frequented in the early 00s. Times never change.

Is being unable to change your email address part of the settings you're speaking of? I get "This server hasn't correctly set up email." when I try to change the email address in my profile settings.

Real debrid is not necessary unless you're downloading from hosts that require a paid account for unlimited access. You can download from archive.org and other HTTP sites without worry. You don't need tor, a vpn, real debrid, a seed box, or any other paid service people are suggesting here. Just stay away from torrents and you'll be fine.

I'm unfortunately unfamiliar with DnD tools, but there are a couple users on Soulseek who are sharing a variety of DnD tools. It looks like they all came from the same torrent (I don't have the torrent, sorry :< ).

Does anything here look useful? - https://i.ibb.co/Y30rv2y/resources.png

It's likely whenever things break, which is relatively frequent... Here's to hoping the 0.18 update brings a little more stability!

Unfortunately not at the moment. I was using https://github.com/gorhill/uBO-Extra before it went defunct and I haven't replaced it.

Lol, well it's not like a lot of us aren't already using adblock detector blockers.

It will probably come down to using a third party program/script to watch videos.

Is a file request community allowed if it follows the instance guidelines?

Is it possible to customize a community to auto-lock threads once they're created, so no one can reply to the thread? Or disable the ability to reply to threads in some other way?

I dunno how close to toeing the line a request section would be, or how easy it would be to enforce the instance rules without disabling the ability to reply to threads.

Eh, it's probably not a crackdown. The life expectancy of most pirate sites isn't long, especially the rare sites like S2D that host all of the content on their own servers, rather than free third party servers like most sites. We're also in what's probably the best age of piracy from an accessibility standpoint. Sites are everywhere, so we're going to see a lot come and go for a variety of reasons.

Aw man, that was one of my daily sites... No HLS, just right click the video and download. They were so up to date with everything!

:(

Same for me. Latest version of firefox, typical safety extensions enabled, worked flawlessly last night when I registered. I've heard a lot of sites are experiencing this, though. I wonder if it's just the hosts or if it's the code struggling to handle so many requests. Hopefully it isn't the latter.
