Might the author be overreacting a bit to this new law? As I understand it, it doesn't put that much of an onerous demand on forum operators.

Then again, maybe he's just burnt out from running these sites and this was the final straw. I can understand if he wants to pack it in after so long, and this is as good reason as any to call it a day.

Though, has no-one in that community offered to take over? Forums do change hands now and then.

Yes. I think so. The chances of some well meaning forums being taken down by this law is zero.

That's simply not true when you see the owners of these forums throwing in the towel because of the compliance requirements.

I threw in the towel long ago before any of these laws with massive fines were put in place. People were already running scripts to upload CSAM then report their own CSAM automatically to registrars, dns providers, CDN's, etc... This was around the time a couple alternatives to Akamai CDN's were growing really fast and I have my suspicions about who these people are but either way I got rid of my forums and stopped lurking here. It has been a wonderful 9 year vacation.
