Whilst some of our content might be non-compliant with credit card processing companies, it has always been legal on the wider internet.

Unfortunately surveillance capitalism has other ideas and the worrying trend of governments attempting to sanction and pursue action against site operators means there is now a risk associated with running a site, even if it's excluding uk/usa customers by restricting geographic IP addresses.

Whilst we're only a small site and hopefully not really of interest to anyone, our current systems are not set up to resist that level of risk, and that wasn't really why we got into this, so for the time being we're putting the site on hold.

This was always meant to be about consenting adults having some hitty/zappy fun with each other (even if some other people don't agree on our definition of "fun").

We have had offers in the past to license our catalogue of content so we may have to revisit a little more seriously, in which case we'll try to link to the new location.

Thank you everyone who has supported the site over the years, and hopefully this is not the end?

Yours truly,

The FDV Admin team
