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.

Not good, Prime Sentinels are far worse than the Giant Genocidal Robots.
Runes work decent for short pithy inscriptions and graffiti like "Halfdan was here", but are I'll suited to longer written works. Also, pretty much all of what may have been written by Old Norse/Northern Germanic Pagan would have been lost due to being inscribed on organic material in a cold...
Two thing people tend to not learn or forget about American plantation slavery and the Confederacy, first is that Cotton was King and the Southern economy was based almost entirely on growing it as well as a couple other cash crops. Second is that VERY bad for soil fertility, so growing it in...
"Sweet Polly Oliver" was actually not exactly that rare historically or rather not as rare as one might think (It's hard to tell how often it, but we do know that it that it happened) there was a story I heard about an woman in the late to post medieval era who dressed as man and joined the...
That's not really a good ending, a little humble pie is a good thing and losing the 13 Colonies meant Britian was pushed to expand it's empire elsewhere like Australia. Not losing the USA means more wars with France and Spain due to being far more focused on North America. Also Britain would...
