What's the reason that there's a SHA1 hash added to all GOG links?

e.g.,

https://af.gog.com/game/graveyard_keeper?as=1649904300


And what's the significance of "cb4e5208b4cd87268b208e49452ed6e89a68e0b8"? It's just the SHA-1 hash of '32'.

That's our referral code. Use those links when you buy stuff to kick back some cash to DU's server-and-prostitutes fund.

how about some layoffs and closures?

fire scrooge and crispy.

we don't need site feedback since Retardoland already exists.
we don't need Sex, Sports, Drugs since if any of you knew anything about that you wouldn't waste time coming to this site.
we don't need shoutbox archived. it makes things less personal.
we don't need Politics Forum. General Discussion already fulfills that role.

for people who would miss having more forums unlocked, let the administrator's lounge be unlockable.

A little bit of a stupid question now. Do i have manually add it or any gog posted link gets it automatically?

Will this allow russians to influence the smiley selection thread?

I think you have to click the link at the top. Testing:

https://af.gog.com/game/deaths_gambit?as=1649904300

edit: nope, added automagically. The link I posted ended at "gambit". You can even make an aesthetically pleasant link like this - Death's Gambit

It's automatic, any GOG link on the Codex will be affiliated.

Crypto in js? You're joking, right?

With the gog's current politics, you'd better avoid them referral links, men. Anyone who comes by a codex referal link would probably get banned.

One of the funniest thing I have seen so far today is Venezuela trying to peg their freefalling bolivar to a crypto. I can just see people trying to desperately sell whatever holdings they have in it now, causing another freefall.

I thought it was for Taluntian's golden toilet?

Not to worry, if Mastercard's antics are any indication, soon codexers won't be able to buy games at all and this won't be an issue anymore.
