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.

Yes, like the one we had in SMF, basically. Right now, you can either use the WYSIWYG rich-text editor, or use the plain-text 'editor' and type every single BBCode by hand.
Can we do a global find/replace on the archives to fix all past instances of [hr]?
Fine, but I propose we define the boundary between 'small occurrences' and 'huge swaths' as 'exactly as many instances as Vanathor is willing to go through and fix manually so the authors don't have to'~
Is it likely to be fixed any time soon? Because I stand by what I said before: if we can't...
Not acceptable by any means. That would leave huge swaths of content which would never get fixed because the authors either don't care or aren't even around anymore. I'd rather move back to the old software if we can't fix it.
Problem with the new rich-text editor: it's using server calls for...
