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.

You can be relevant without annoying others.
Look, as much as you may not like the rule, the reality is that most necros (AKA as 90%+ of them)? They're pretty much just a thread bump with a weak cover like a bump or a question about when this will update again or a one-liner comment.
And necros rub me the wrong way.
I wouldn't have put it in the rules and I do not remember actually punishing anyone over it yet, just pointed out the matter. Then this thread happened and some asked for it to be in the rules and here we are. And it's still pretty relaxed as a rule. This only...
And as noted above, that's what PMs and profile posts are for. If you're going to poke someone about a story, you can do so without annoying anyone else.
Because I myself get irritated when necros happen.
You can bet I dislike it.
I dunno, does common sense need rules?
Because that's what I consider that. When something is months old, years old, what possess someone to think posting on that thread and bumping it is a good idea? Especially when it's mainly for a shameless bump disguised as a...
