The site has now migrated to Xenforo 2. If you see any issues with the forum operation, please post them in the feedback thread.
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.
Because €$ is the correct thing to do with the Eurodollar. And the Eurodollar is the currency of choice for Night City. It’s a pain because I don’t have a € on my keyboard so I have to copy/paste. But yeah.
I write a lot. lol It’s why I rarely return to a story if it gets put on the back burner. I do still sometimes come back, but it’s rare. I usually go where the inspiration is instead of fighting it.
I often ask myself if I’ll ever finish a story as well. There is one that is very close to being done but damnit I don’t know if I have the strength to actually do it… “I know what I must do…” lol
Glad you enjoyed it! :) I hope to swing back to it sometime because it's just too cute to leave languishing forever. (Edit: For some reason lag on mobile made this post in two different posts…)
Thanks a TON! Seras and her Iron Blooded Orphans got me into BT, and at that point, I'd been playing Mechwarrior 5 for a while and hadn't even connected that MW was BT. lol So hearing that my story got someone new into the franchise is very humbling. And yes, the SB situation was terrible, but...
Oh! Well, I didn't see any posts from you that made it look or feel as if there was anything negative. lol I was just there putting stuff out and enjoying the situation as best I could myself, especially when seeing the excuses and definite non-addressing of the situation by the SB mods. Which...
Thank you, that does mean a literal TON. The support has been fast and heavy, and without you guys to buoy my spirits I would have definitely sank. And it would have felt worse because it would be over something asinine as SB. I do hope to continue the story in the future.
In light of the drama surrounding my decision to stop posting story content on SB, I have decided to make a link to my post explaining the situation from my end. I tried to keep it as factual as possible, with plenty of context to explain things.
I hope so as well but if I try to come back and write new content on spite alone it won’t end well. I had a number of ideas that were just going to be petty, and I didn’t want that negativity to infect the story. And dogbertcarrol pages had me linked? I have no idea what that (sounds familiar)...
Haven’t seen anything about an SB bitching thread, but I was aware of a poorly written reddit post looking to create drama for clicks. And then yesterday I was notified that someone turned that shit reddit post into a low-effort Tiktok. Is the bitching thread on QQ or SB?
"The Sietch" is a SB/QQ equivalent. I found them by googling, but I had to get the "the" in there of it didn't work. lol It has an NSFW section as well. Though apparently it’s the inverse of QQ where the NSFW is barren. I can try to change that. lol
The best thing about all of this has been the outpouring of support in my DMs and stuff from everyone- it's funny, for all the SB Mods try to claim they're 'above it all', there seems to be a lot people who realize that they're really not. It just makes me feel bad that my muse is so fickle...
I'm sad that someone felt the need to get offended and report an explanatory post. I'm sad that a Mod used this chance to make herself feel better. I'm sad that I didn't keep a cool head and just handle it. Though I'm not sad that I spoke the truth. Not that it matters- didn't succeed in doing...
I fucked up by getting angry and not treating it for the non-issue it was. Just another glaring example of the two-tier enforcement system on SB got to me. It wouldn't have been reported if my story contained the proper signals to virtue. But it didn't, and thus an 8-month infraction post-facto...
