lostallhope.com is now requiring ID age verification?

probably online safety act fuckery, they likely dont wanna get fined like this place.

luckily, their entire site has long been archived on the wayback machine. sucks that we likely wont be able to see any new info posted to the site, and its a pain in the ass, but it is what it is.
EDIT: in a move that even shocked myself, i dared to actually upload my totally-legit documents to the site, in the form of my passport (picrel is my passport, please dont share it with anyone else tho, it is my real passport)

luckily for me, they immediately accepted it, and presumably it wasnt via some palantir bullshit or something
make of this what you will

I have known of the website in the past and no I haven't really checked it in recent times. It is possible that people are not missing much as most of the information is just general knowledge and the real knowledge is here on the SaSu platform. Of course, I could be wrong though, but from the last time I checked (a few years ago), it didn't contain information that isn't already widely or commonly known.

They just seem to accept anything. I don't think there is any mechanism behind it to check

lol i input a random png of some math bullshit i had on my laptop and it let me in... doesn't seem to be checking for anything related to id at all, I'd assume any random png you attach would let you in

Everyone else has already stated that the age verification exists in name only, and is more akin to an adult hanging your drawing on the fridge.
With this being the case, I only share my experience for fun, and not as advice.

I just checked out the site for the first time, and did not have any verification prompts.
I am using ublock Origin on LibreWolf (+betterfox). The likely reason is Fanboy's Agegate List for uBO.
However, I must mention Mullvad vpn is also running with DAITA: Multihop, DNS Content Blockers, Quantum Resistance enabled, which may also factor into this.

These were already in use beforehand, and not implemented as an overly complicated work around.

Welcome back. I remember you from last year. The PFP was modified?

Its great to be remembered
Between a long day, and I have narcolepsy, so I currently have the cognitive function of a drunk monkey eating a bag of chips.
Are you asking about my profile picture? (had to look up pfp) If so, then I believe I changed it to the current one within a month or less of joining.

I remember that PFP didn't have a noose before?

super awesome picrel. i love paper's please

wdym "papers please"? that is my real passport, that i uploaded to the site. the fact that it let me in after i sent that proves that it totally legitimately checks your id tho ahahahaha
only time i heard "papers please" was when my man at the arstotzkan border checkpoint asked me that ahahaha. arstotzka number one best country ahahahaha!!!

I was able to submit a dummy file and gain access, pick any random image file (eg a screenshot of the time) and upload... as of the minute I posted it works

I thought the id check would at least wait for a human to review it... but there are sayings, called "worth a shot", and "let me test that", that can yield interesting results.

Maybe it's easy to get around for now but it won't always be. They hate us. They want to prevent access to any of these resources

 

[Spite]

If this forum starts requiring an age ID verification just to gain access, then I'm done. I will have no choice but to abandon my account and move on. I refuse to upload any of my personal information/ID documents. I hate that the government feels the need to parent everyone and put up these bullshit restrictions to police the Internet.

Even if there's an easy way to bypass it I'm too lazy and tired of everything to even try. I don't know if I can be bothered anymore. At this point, I just want to rest for eternity...
