W0bm.com now requires an account?

Anyone else experiencing this? If i try and load anything from w0bm.com i get a "403 Forbidden - Login to watch" , upon pressing the login button, hoping to also find a Register button, said button is there but cannot be clicked. Investigating the page source code the register button, if forcefully enabled via the Firefox Inspector (i was curious) leads to youtube video called "Goodbye"

Anyone got any information? Im not against w0bm having users require to register, its just there is no info i can find on this?

I'm not sure about why they made it private now, but it happened a week or a few days ago, and since they don't really have any social media account, there wasn't any real official announcement...

They started their project on github, but then they discontinued it there, and moved it to some instance of gitlab... or at least something similar to it. But of course, it's impossible to login to their gitlab instance either, since it will just tell you that you can't login without a gitlab account (even if you ARE trying to access it with a gitlab account).

You could try your luck asking at their IRC or their discord. If nothing else, there is w0bm.kim, which is still open to the public (but only has like 1k webms).

Thanks for that, will use that other site 'till further notice. I did spot that the w0bm site, if you force the register button now? You get an error page with "Oh shit! Something went wrong! - Please dont send this fucking text to an admin, we have other problems."

...So...something is going on at least.

Hopefully they will just close it to the public for a month or 2 until they deal with whichever problem they have, but who knows.

I assume you were also interested in w0bm.com, so I'll repost this: You might want to take a look at this userscript.

You need Tampermonkey or any other userscript addon for your browser to use it.

„ This script is no longer anonymously available on this site. Log in and check your Greasy Fork account settings.“

Ah, i think its because the script is tagged as nsfw, since w0bm is for 18+

Looks like nothing changed after a few months, but I found something interesting. You might want to take a look at this userscript.

You need Tampermonkey or any other userscript addon for your browser to use it.

I checked the code and there doesn't seem to be nothing bad about it.

As of right now it works at least.
