Right? Git is literally decentralized. If you choose to use GitHub as a centralized Git service, that's on you.

(I will caveat this by saying we moved 2009scape off GitHub and the number of new contributors probably got cut in half. Mainstream services have a lot more eyes)

I tried to follow that link and it seems Cloudflare blocked me. Don't suppose you know who I'd need to talk to to resolve that would you?

Did Cloudflare not let you pass with a captcha?

Nope, just straight up blocked

Oh sorry, totally forgot, we blocked UK users from accessing the website to avoid a Jagex lawsuit. If you're on Linux you can still play the game via Flatpak

Oh okay, fair enough. Out of interest, what does Jagex have against the Brits?

They're based there, and an international lawsuit is magnitudes more expensive so it's unlikely they'll do one.

We'll probably unblock the UK from seeing the website though, our friends (i.e 2004.lostcity.rs) haven't blocked the UK and are doing great
