Over the past year, increased regulatory pressure in multiple regions like UK OFCOM and Australia's eSafety has led to higher operational costs, including infrastructure, security, and the need to work with more specialized service providers to keep the site online and stable.

The nature's wilderness, running with the wild ones, like Balou ...understand, at a spot where the brown bear can be met ^^
Favourite spot : a local lake closed by a forrest soaking up to the borders (not open ended), with bosquets of Rhododendron flowers blooming in June, & dead trees floating or soaking into the water. Tbh some parts look enough dreamy to be taken out of a fantasy video game (Trine), like it was man-made designed with imagination. The track around it is full of obstacles with wood bridges and holes of waters on which to hop between stones, to not get your feet wet, so fun & entertaining. It's possible to imagine being on a ballad with the Goonies.

I would not go so far as to say "happy", but I always end up walking in the woods when I need to escape. I am one of those who hugs trees and runs her fingers through blades of grass. My favourite smells are probably pine and tree sap.

There's a park near where I grew up with a lake with an island in it that's a nature preserve. In the fall an enormous blue heron lives there for a time. There are are two trails that go through the woods around the lake - a nature trail and a fitness trail.
On top of the high hill in the middle of the park is a community barn with picnic benches where families can grill and eat. There's a playground for the youngsters. On the playground is a big old steel frame swingset facing east/west.
In my 20s I used to take girls there on dates. We would have a picnic on the grass on the hill, then when the sun began to set we'd hit the swingset.
You could face west and watch the sun go down while swinging, with the breeze in your hair and the sounds of children playing in your ears. Since it was on top of a hill you could see the whole sky. Pink and orange and blue and purple, clouds like cotton candy.
Once the sun was gone we would turn around in our swings and watch the moon come up. Soon all the children and families were gone, and it was just the 2 of us, and the moon and the twinkling stars, and not a sound. Like we were the only people in the world. Maybe in the universe.
That's my happy place.
Temperate woodlands, Cornish beaches and coastline, wide open prairies full of purple sage, a cozy and bustling local pub, hearing the sound of the town from way up in the hills.

We have a river going thru our city ,alongside it a large park and cafes spread across the bank .On a less crowded part there is an old bridge that has been broken down, only a small part of it remains ,the edge of it right above the water .I used to spend a lot of time there back in high school. Now it's covered in vegetation giving the intimacy and silence I so much crave , from the bank you can't even see if there is someone at all sitting by the edge .

It was an area that was overgrown that I used to walk my dog in. Completely secluded so we wouldn't have to be bothered by anyone. It's gone now because they cleared it out years ago.
