• 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.

    Akira Toriyama dead at 68

    Never the biggest Dragon Ball fan, but still a manga/anime/entertainment giant. RIP.

    Daily Crashing of QQ

    I must admit it reminded me of SB in the Dark Ages.

    Pax's Alternate History Snippet repository.

    If this is 5 divisions from 100,000 people and you have big WWI square division, the support slice (which is going to be smaller in WWI but still there) is going to cut into that number. Four would be more reasonable, in terms of nitpicking.

    Imgur to Soon Execute a Purge of NSFW and Anon images

    Thanks for the heads up. Sadly it didn't really surprise me, which is why I didn't have that much NSFW stuff there to begin with. Will move the necessary files now.

    Worm and Ward discussion and debate thread

    First, I tried to read it from the start. Like all of Wildbow's serials, I gave it a sincere chance but ended up dropping it a few updates in because of the flat prose and the bad, zigzagging pacing. I saw he wasn't improving nearly enough and put it aside. When it concluded, I looked back, and...

    What killed Mike Wong's StarDestroyer.net?

    Not to mention that conventional registration has been disabled there for some time. To what extent it's their stated reason of being the only thing that can keep the spambots away (It's the other board I mentioned in my above post) and to what extent it's to keep their close knit er-"circle"...

    What killed Mike Wong's StarDestroyer.net?

    I'm sure it was an anti-spam feature. Both it and another board I knew that used phpBB as well had such a problem that they had to resort to that sort of harsher anti-spam measure. I don't know, and don't have the qualifications to answer how much of that was the forum software's fault and how...

    What killed Mike Wong's StarDestroyer.net?

    The non-bot users it has online can generally be counted on two hands at best. Just looking at the title page, there's a few posts with today's date on them. So it's not at the level of another board I knew/know that also imploded[1] to the point where it's frequent to find ZERO registered users...

    The Fic That Hooked You: And How Bad Was It?

    To be honest, I find that with a lot of one-chapter-at-a-time works, be they fanfics, LPs, Alternatehistory.com TLs, serial stories, or just shows with an overarcing plot, I'll follow them with at least some interest, awaiting the next installment. Then they finished/get abandoned/I walk away...

    The Fic That Hooked You: And How Bad Was It?

    Too many long fics in FFN's Super Smash Bros. section. Really. Those and Mike Wong's Conquest. The SSB fics were all garbage, and Wong's managed to be slightly better than the nadir of Trek vs. Wars crossover fic-but that isn't saying much.

    What killed Mike Wong's StarDestroyer.net?

    I was a member of SDN back in the day. In fact, the main site was how I found SB (in a roundabout way that started with me googling "M2 Bradley" and ended with me seeing one of Wong's rants on Spacebattles and deciding to see what that 'SB' he was talking about was). Ok, here's my opinion on why...
