Clicking on some of the window dates work but many others produce this: "Es ist noch nicht soweit ..." and this:


Basically the site is looking for people who have something to hide and are willing to donate money to the site.

"Es ist noch nicht soweit ..."

That means "it is not yet the date", an advents calendar is meant to open only the doors when its date already arrived.
Did you never ever get one as a child so that you don't know the rules of an advents calendar?

the site is looking for people who have something to hide

Pfff you really think anyone working for any kind of CIA or NSA in any country of the world are only people of the utmost and highest moral standards? And never ever have abused the privileges and powerful techniques they handle each day?

How so very naive you are my man.

Did you never ever get one as a child so that you don't know the rules of an advents calendar?

Well if I did I certainly don't remember it. My kids had and have the calendars though. I didn't pickup on the website's calendar being active.

CIA or NSA

Terrorists may be concerned about these people seeing what they are planning and members of these organizations may do things they don't want others to see but I think the majority of concerned users are those having affairs, viewing porn, viewing child porn, gambling rent money, posting negative comments on competitor's websites, hiding their true identity on forum postings.

Ed_P, you did not answer my question and only distract by the usual buzzwords when it comes to these issues.
The facts are, billions of people worldwide are exploited by compnies who sell their data, and especially Meta (facebook) and Google are proven more than once that they destabilise other countries by the dozens when it only means making a quick buck.
There is nothing in any of that about what you try to reduce the things that happen:
No terrorist, no users having affairs, no viewing porn, no viewing child porn, no gambling no rent money, no posting negative comments on competitor's websites, no hiding their true identity on forum postings.

And by the last one, do you mean you offer your real name and real address to the whole can of worms that can the the internet?

[Ed_P]

Ed_P, you did not answer my question

Which question?

you offer your real name and real address

Yup. My real name and a real email address.

[Rava]

Yup. My real name and a real email address.

Your family name is only "P"? I hardly doubt that.

Which question?

This one, highlighting by me:

[Y]ou really think anyone working for any kind of CIA or NSA in any country of the world are only people of the utmost and highest moral standards? And never ever have abused the privileges and powerful techniques they handle each day?

I should have phrased that as thus:

"never ever have abused the privileges and powerful techniques they handle each day in the past, ever? (Please be aware of I am talking about any similar agency in any country of the world in the whole of humanities history so far)"

Anyhow, what does your conventional yellow press wisdom say about e.g. a police officer, now former police officer who turned out to be the murderer and rapist that plagued his own town for years?

And such things not happened just once in the past, such things do happen in all countries, regularly.
Are such things a reality in your conventional yellow press wisdom and world view? Because like it or not, in the real world these things are a reality and that fact not changes if you simply choose to ignore what is inconvenient for your own personal world view.

That is the flawed human condition, all humans are flawed, some more than others. And some severely more flawed that others. (You can e.g. look up he Bible on that, it has long passages about the human condition. I presume you call yourself a Christian?)

You seem to have the believe as soon as someone became an agent of CIA, NSA or the police or any similar agency anywhere in the world (s)he no longer has any grave human flaws.
Which is utterly ridiculous and naive thing to believe.
