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.

Oh, an important thing: i am really miffed that the only visible lesbian character is a kinda predatory and haughty woman, and is also considered a pervert by others for being a lesbian. Not cool.
I actually liked Hugo's progression and where you are going with him. Felicia is a bit too intense for my taste, but whatever float Hugo's boat is fine. ^^
Fiora is my favorite, i love when she is on screen. I hope that we get back to her character quest somewhat soon.
I am quite fond of Theo...
Because that's a stupid name and 1918 Influenza/1918 Flu Epidemic is much better and informative ?
And no one is pretending that we didn't call it the Spanish Flu (see the wikipedia page).
Except previous naming schemes were deemed inaccurate (ex: Spanish Flu -> 1918 Influenza) and there is a real push for the current naming convention to be adopted ?
Usage is never a 'good' argument. See about the imperial system, which is only in place in the USA because of usage and ought to be...
Then use the name 'CCP Plague' instead of 'Wuhan Flu' ? Because the COVID19 is neither Wuhan's fault, neither a flu.
EDIT:
And frankly, i am not convinced about the WHO being anyone mouthpiece. You might need some proof for that assertion. I don't know, i might have missed something about them ?
I am not an epidemiologist, but i will let the specialists talk : the WHO made this argument in 2015. ;)

This is not a matter of China's feelings. I couldn't give a rat's ass about that. But it's inaccurate, the scientific community has a better descriptive name (COVID19) and it doesn't help us being better humans (why force an innocent city to be the scapegoat ?).
While i agree in part, i must say : this is not China's fault that this pandemic disease exists. Things happen, viruses mutate and it was only a matter of time until we had a bad stroke of luck.
What we can point out (for all administrations really) is how they handled the outbreak. But frankly...
