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.
A pokemon professor sees two pikachu chittering at each other while sparking their cheeks and he wonders if perhaps they're using electrical communications alongside the noises.

Do you ever wonder if maybe wild pokemon talk to each other like xianxia characters screaming about face and young masters and whatnot before fights or would that exclusively be something trained pokemon do while wild pokemon think they're weird for it?
I miss when I was a child and I could open my bedroom window at my house innawoods and get all the neighborhood dogs, nearby yotes, and other neighbor kids howling and making noise just cuz we can't sleep and nobody could prove it wasn't just animals doing it.
Have you ever just wanted to scream?
Not like aegh or argh or aaa but like just open the window, chug a full liter of water, and then howl out all of your emotions loud enough to set off car alarms and wake up the entire neighborhood?
It feels like once every couple of months I have to mass ignore ai slop threads to get to actual people writing stories and the paranoid part of me is wondering how many people don't bother to tag they're using it that slip through the cracks.
