Due to issues with external spam filters, QQ is currently unable to send any mail to Microsoft E-mail addresses. This includes any account at live.com, hotmail.com or msn.com.
Signing up to the forum with one of these addresses will result in your verification E-mail never arriving. For best results, please use a different E-mail provider for your QQ address.
For prospective new members, a word of warning: don't use common names like Dennis, Simon, or Kenny if you decide to create an account. Spammers have used them all before you and gotten those names flagged in the anti-spam databases. Your account registration will be rejected because of it.
Since it has happened MULTIPLE times now, I want to be very clear about this. You do not get to abandon an account and create a new one. You do not get to pass an account to someone else and create a new one. If you do so anyway, you will be banned for creating sockpuppets.
Due to the actions of particularly persistent spammers and trolls, we will be banning disposable email addresses from today onward.
The rules regarding NSFW links have been updated. See here for details.
Can you really claim to love muscadines if you don't eat the seeds? Next you're going to tell me you don't eat the peach pit. Crunch crunch crunch crunch
At one point muscadine wine was the most popular wine in the states. Prohibition put an end to that.
Never heard of Schnebly Redland's...
Had to look that one up - I've never actually heard of bochet before. It certainly sounds good!
Speaking of caramel, after making a batch of caramel sauce from scratch, I have become completely ruined for anything proclaiming to be 'caramel flavored'.
Most 'caramel' is HFCS with food dye and...
Beer or wine? I've never tried to make beer, but we have enough muscadine vines to make ~150 bottles of wine a year. I'll need to start harvesting in the next week or two.
I've always been surprised that it isn't more popular; muscadines are extremely hardy and disease resistant, tolerate a...
I make about two gallons of yogurt a month and an absurd amount of sauerkraut every year.
With the yogurt, an instant pot's 'yogurt' setting is amazing - I set it to 104F for 30 hours and let it go. I started with a sachet of progurt, but after that you can just keep using your leftover yogurt...
Unfortunately there's no XenForo setting to make that happen. You'll need to get someone to write a XF2 addon and then convince the site owner to install it.
@Have a Little Feith are you using XenForo's thread filter tools? The filter options are part of the URL, so you can save your default filter options as a bookmark and use that when you visit NSFW CrW.
Happy to be here?...
A friendly reminder to everyone: we can't see shit unless it's actually brought to our attention.
If you see a multi-page shitstorm in some thread, with people complaining that the mods are ignoring it, it's almost certainly because nobody has actually bothered to send us...
You're not just great for a fanfic writer, you're a great writer in general. You have real skill at bringing characters to life and an excellent sense of humor.
An IBM Selectric, MicroPro Wordstar, Corel WordPerfect, and Google Docs are different in degree, while LLMs are a difference in kind.
Using an LLM is like delegating work to a mentally unstable idiot-savant; give it the correct tasks, structured the right way, and it can do miracles; give it...
I know you're familiar with Cyberpunk 2020 and VtM, but have you read any of the Ars Magica sourcebooks? I'm currently reading 5e and it's a goldmine of ideas.
