• An addendum to Rule 3 regarding fan-translated works of things such as Web Novels has been made. Please see here for details.
  • We've issued a clarification on our policy on AI-generated work.
  • Our mod selection process has completed. Please welcome our new moderators.
  • 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.

    Suppose I should also say hello. Will do my best for y’all, so please be gentle. I promise to leave the place mostly how I found it.

    NSFW CRW Subforum for new fics

    Not sure whether making this the default would impact traffic to new fics, lessening feedback, maybe causing more of them to never get off the ground. Or cause people to put in filler just to get onto main street, which would probably waste both reader's and writer's time and degrade story...

    General chat thread

    You do need to post at least once on the forum to unlock some account privileges (like editing your custom title, but probably other things too), and your posts are invisible till your first is approved (spambot measure). There's an introduction thread, but there's no rule about where your first...

    Rants to be hidden from me?

    I'm not sure you can Ignore an entire sub-forum, but I think mods might be able to ban you from it. If you can't post there, maybe you'll be less inclined to read it? Edit: @JadeKaiser You're online, could you do this? Or bring it up to an Admin if you can't? Edit 2: Or Biigoh, who I see is...

    @alethiophile @ultima333 @tehelgee Don’t want to be a bother, but it’s been another month. Any response would be fine, including ‘we have no plans to do anything about this’.

    Rule 3 Question (I know, I know…)

    AI in general isn't, there's a thread for it, but I imagine you shouldn't talk about this or that political party, figure, or country's policy (with the possible exception of things that immediately affect QQ itself, though I'd mostly just stay away), or yourself advocate for specific political...

    How did you find QQ?

    You could go back to check your very earliest message(s) on QQ to see if that reminds you.

    Smiley in URL

    Hmm. *shrugs* Doesn't seem to affect ability to follow the link, anyhow.

    Smiley in URL

    Think you can stop that by adding around the URL? Will test it- x3. Yep, that works. I'm not sure they can disable it automatically doing that by default; people (like me) have certainly been infrequently annoyed by it, so I’d expect it’s been requested.

    https://myeasywireless.com/ purports to be a government backed free phone plan, so you might want to look into- wait, funds have been frozen by congress apparently. Nvm. I'll assume you've already looked into charities like SalvationArmy, and read things like this for tips. In case you haven't...

    General chat thread

    Are there no food assistance or homelessness programs in your area? Because my impression is that situations like you're in are what they're built for. Even just a food bank or soup kitchen would stop you from literally starving to death. Also, at the moment you seem to be mostly parked up, but...

    Given it's been a month since this thread was created, just bumping to say I would also like this fixed. Or a post saying it's on the docket. Or a verdict that it can't be, or won't be.

    General chat thread

    Would advise asking in the 'Find That Porn' thread. Also, have you got it set up so your PayPal directly deposits into your card account? Assuming that's possible. Because I'd imagine it'd be harder to do anything manually without internet. You might want to think about what you won't be able...
