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.

An official changing their behavior for personal gain is corruption. So selectively prosecuting in order to be reelecred certainly seems like a form of corruption to me. If there wasnt an election the next...
Not to mention turning his hormones down for the first year or so after the whole poisoned lipstick incident. Actually, did he ever really undo that? I would assume he did given he got into a relationship.
I believe thw reason for multiple threads is because the story used to be hosted on Spacebattles and then Sufficient Velocity before being hosted here.
And over there they had a thread size limit or something? I only found the story once it was here.
Here the threads can just get monstrous...
Renegade had to drag Lex kicking and screaming after he murdered all of Lex's friends and put him under the microscope of the American Government. Lex had literally no other choice, and really still doesnt.
And it should be very clear at this point that despite his pretenses, Lex isnt a reasonable person. He is intelligent and rational, but he doesnt operate on reason, his motivations come from his Id.
For all his talk on helping humanity, his motivation comes from him personally being shown up by...
Can anyone remind me which episode it was where Paul gave his assessment of the League's structure to them?
I guess also his training scenario with Mr Atom.
When they say collapse, they dont mean everything is gone and society breaks down. They mean that the government collapses and now there are a bunch of regional governments competing to fill the gaps. Those regional governments will disagree on who gets what, directly increasing conflict...
