• An addendum to Rule 3 regarding fan-translated works of things such as Web Novels has been made. Please see here for details.
  • We've issued a clarification on our policy on AI-generated work.
  • Our mod selection process has completed. Please welcome our new moderators.
  • 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.

forum.questionablequesting.com is objectively better because it's what I use and if you post links, those links will work for me.

the regular one works too, it just makes you need to log in again :V
but that's the more popular/older one? if so good to know to stick to the standard or whatever

anyone got any clue how two separate sets of links came about as a thing?

this is a weird question but mostly just read so haven't had a chance to ask/answer it. what's the difference between

https://questionablequesting.com/ and https://forum.questionablequesting.com ?
both seem exactly the same but logging on for one doesn't log me into the other? which is better/which should i be using?

The difference in urls is that one is just questionablequesting.com and the other is forum.questionablequesting.com.

IIRC, alethiophile explained once that logging into questionablequesting.com doesn't also log you in to forum.questionablequesting.com (or vice versa) because the act of logging in generates a cookie in your browser that only works for that url.

issue that comes up a lot, huh? thanks for linking that, silvercrystal's explanation answers a lot.
wonder how that issue came about in the first place? creating a new url while still needing support for the old one, or something?
