[Raion]

There's other developments afoot, but I did want to hear from the community on this to better understand the concerns of our EU users. 

When I started this I proudly boasted that I had no intention of complying with GDPR or any other EU regulations, especially as the site is based in the US, where EU law could only be enforced by a treaty. This treaty doesn't exist, so any fines they leveraged against me would simply be into collections until I settled in Europe (Which if people know me, I wouldn't even settle in my own native Portugal or Spain) or was in a country where they had a treaty sufficient to serve me with. 

The dust has settled and GDPR panic does seem to be overblown, and in some ways more of a whimper than an actual bark. That being said, if it's important to the EU members I'm willing to hear them out. 

There do exist plugins to deal with GDPR things, such as account deletion requests (I will probably not utilize this mode, as there's issues that phantom posts create in topics) the ability to download user data in a format, etc. The plugin is called MyBB Amnesia and it's by a guy called Kane Valentine, who goes by Kawaii (to be fair, he's got good taste in anime it seems, so I'm not judging him). 

Should we bother? Is any of this remotely important to anyone here? 

I will note, that I won't let censorship from the EU bleed into the forum. Whether that be over Article 13 or whatever they're calling it nowadays, or if someone gets upset if a user says "Germany sucks!" or whatever. It's not gonna happen here. But I do want to keep the EU users happy. So let me know if this is remotely important. No response means that "Yeah Raion, you suck and should toss this topic in the bin!" (this is a JonTron reference, the original is: "Wow, Bootleg Mufasa! You sure do suck, and I wish I never invited you over!" from the bootleg episode. If you don't go watch JonTron, go and watch him. Quality content from a Persian-American guy.)
Wow, Bootleg Mufasa! You sure do suck, and I wish I never invited you over!
