Important Announcement: Flashlight Forum to be Closed on September 16, 2026
Dear Community,
It is with a heavy heart that I must inform you that the operation of Taschenlampen-Forum.de (TLF) will be permanently discontinued on September 16, 2026.
Background to the Decision
I have been running this forum privately for 17 years, purely out of passion for our shared hobby, and most recently without advertising. However, a few days ago, I unexpectedly received an official notification from the Federal Network Agency (the responsible coordinating body for digital services) setting a deadline.
The notification demands that the forum be brought into compliance with the strict requirements of the European Digital Services Act (DSA) as soon as possible. I will spare you the details.
These regulations were originally created by the EU to penalize Google, Facebook, and similar companies. However, privately run hobby forums are now suddenly also subject to these obligations. The technical implementation of these requirements, as well as the associated legal liability and fine risks, far exceed the capabilities of a private operator (= idealist), especially since the relevant government requirements for forums are constantly increasing.
What happens next?
You have until September 16, 2026, to save your personal messages, contacts, and posts.
After that, the interactive platform will be permanently taken offline.
All personal user data (email addresses, profiles, etc.) will then be completely deleted in accordance with the GDPR.
I sincerely thank you all for the many years of excellent exchange, the shared expertise, and the wonderful atmosphere here in the forum. This applies especially to the TLF moderators who have shaped this exemplary atmosphere over the past 17 years.
We have had a great time. Therefore, this is unfortunately not a happy moment.
I wish you all good luck and health for what lies ahead.
Best regards, Frank
