• The site has now migrated to Xenforo 2. If you see any issues with the forum operation, please post them in the feedback thread.
  • An addendum to Rule 3 regarding fan-translated works of things such as Web Novels has been made. Please see here for details.

  • 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.

Questionable Questing

Yeah, maybe. But the big limitation for me is, automatically syncing an actual file to my phone is nontrivial, which is my biggest use case and comes up multiple times a chapter. By comparison, my current setup only really fails if my entire laptop bricks itself, which is a once-a-year event at most.

(also manual bbcode makes it harder to proofread, it gets in the way and is also not what the reader sees; yeah I can copy it into QQ preview to see but that doesn't really help me revise in the moment.)

So like, ultimately I have in fact thought this through, and "cloud backup Firefox extension" still makes a lot more sense to me than a traditional word processor. Until, at any rate, someone writes a standalone BB code word processor, at which point maybe it'll be worthwhile trying to get it to play nice with my phone...

Pfft, what're you on about, manual bbcode is *fine*. You just have to write a parser directly to your brain. /s
