    important news everyone. i just went on childline and they sent me an email saying that their discussion boards have temporarily closed down. i feel like this ties in with the changes with the mix as well so id like you all to know what you think about this.

    Oh that’s weird. Childline finally realised I’m 20 and stopped me from posting a few weeks ago lol

  • toffuna101toffuna101 Posts: 4,298 Community Veteran

    interesting. it seems that theyve closed it down for everyone though, even for the under 19s who use childline. i guess i cant roleplay on there anymore 😔

    stupid when it’s supposed to be for safety and now the kids will just go somewhere else less safe

    I had to sign in to be able to find the page about their boards. It doesn’t really give a reason why at all. I’m amazed i can still sign in lol.

    I just had a quick nosy and noticed. That`s strange.

    Interesting, I aged out of Childline back in 2024. In the few years I used it, I don't remember the discussion boards ever closing down temporarily.

    Out of curiosity, if only one staff member is working and theres a general chat for example that they are leading doesn't this mean premoderation will take longer in those periods so that staff members attention is fully on chat?

  • DancerDancer Community Connector Posts: 8,374 Legendary Poster

    I think that they might have to stop doing those chats. Unless you mean on Chatwee.

    I mean the chatwee ones during the day that the staff run

  • DancerDancer Community Connector Posts: 8,374 Legendary Poster

    Oh well I don`t know then. But because it`s general chat rather than support chat, they might be able to take a few minutes to sort out the boards sometimes.

    @Dancer it depends as sometimes the staff run support too. I guess we can see what the staff say when they reply

  • DancerDancer Community Connector Posts: 8,374 Legendary Poster

    Quite a lot of the discussions have disappeared. Including my Count To 20,000 thread. What`s happened?

    The whole general chat section is gone

  • DancerDancer Community Connector Posts: 8,374 Legendary Poster

    This is ridiculous. I get that the support chat and general chat threads can`t really be done anymore but don`t get rid of the entire general chat section. @TheMix

    I just did the age verification thing. That wasn`t too bad except the angle was a bit annoying.
