  • 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.

My heart man... oh wow, can't believe I almost fell for that

Let's just say that some people see that as a feature and would be kind of pissed if it were revoked. I was vaguely serious when I said people might delete all their posts if they didn't spot the joke.

(Mechanically, it's because you need to log in to view most of QQ and Google doesn't appear to have an account.)

Oh I know why it happens, and I understand people not wanting to have their stuff out there like that. As a long time fanfiction reader, and as someone who appreciates this site for what it is, even I have to admit there is some messed up stuff here. No judgement, as has been mentioned before, this is the most friendly hive of scum and villainy in the world, just not my thing. But it does get annoying when I start to read something, wait a bit, and then forget how to find it. QQ's internal search engine being... not the greatest (Probably because google has patents on all the good shit, lol.). Again, I have no proposed solutions so feel free to treat this as the mildly inconvenienced idle complaining it is.

*Edit, damn, I could have been the 100th comment.
 
I knew it. So that's why I can see some Member restricted subforum and post in Google cache on Google search
 
Reading this before I drank the first Coffee of the day was not fun.
My Heart stopped beating for a moment.

Then I took a second to glance back at the Calendar once I'd managed to take a sip from my mug and was relieved.
Well played Staff. Well played.
 
As an Australian, I was not expecting an april fools joke of this magnitude. Normally they're done tomorrow, April 2nd.

Thank you.
 
Waiiiiiiittt, didn't moot go work at Google? This might actually be true. /s

Embarrassingly this line and reading the comments is what it took me to realize the joke...

Uh, you guys do know that Skynet is a real thing, right? Named after the movie, because the government always does that, becuase it doesn't have to give a fuck about copyright, and it sucks at being original. I know, I work for them. Well, the government, not Skynet. Where I work, we have a program called Cerebro, yes, stolen from X-Men.

Oh, and the Britts have one too: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Skynet_(satellite)

This is the most unbelievable part. Skynet is the name of the Chinese government's surveillance program, not Google's.

It's quite a few things actually, see above.

Okay, admittedly unlike SB's Obvious bit about "GroundBattles", this was subtle enough that I bought it because I forgot what the date was.

Phew.

Seriously, for a moment the thought "Oh. Fuck. Everything I know and love is gonna be ripped apart and censored for 'our benefit'," went through my head.

Fuck if I wasn't right there with you. Was freaking out thinking I was going to have to either find a new place as great as this one - unlikely - or have to fucking host my own shit.
 
Damn.... For a moment, I had this utopian dream of Google actually willing to go the distance, fight censorship and let internet (lewd and immoral) dreams still be dreams, let perverts be perverts online, but then it all came crashing down.

. . . I dunno, really, how I managed to have the very opposite optimistic reaction from the others.
 
Excuse me while I hyperventilate for a bit.

……folks, this is why checking the date is important, I forgot it was April 1st.
 
Can I just say how glad I am to know that our future will be in the hands of Google, the most trustworthy and least evil of all the mega-corporations available to us. I'm looking forward to all the benefits that come with Google taking over this forum. I love Google. It's the best website. It's Google, the best website, and I love it. I love Google. I love Google. I love Google. I love Google. I love Google. I love Google. I love-
 
Ahh, April fools. I blame me not getting this on the account of the fact that I am currently in college and absolutely brain dead at the moment.
 
My favorite part is how everyone in the thread is going "oh, this is the April Fools joke" and absolutely nobody is taking it seriously.

(There are several people reporting close calls, but that's not quite the same thing.)
