  • 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.

    Alert Status - Update Only.

    I adjusted to deselect replies in thread from non-op, it's almost EXACTLY what I was hoping for. Thank you.

    Alert Status - Update Only.

    I've noticed a lot of people bumping dead fics and being asked "Please don't do that" because it sends an alert. I also get a LOT of alerts, and most of them are user replies, not chapter updates. Would it be possible to part the two? I know the alert ones for chapter say "Author has added x.xk...

    What are your most hated fanfic tropes

    Sphere. One thing that bugs me is there are rolls that are utterly incompatible with the worlds they are written in, but authors kind of write like their hand is forced? Like if you roll Tokyo ghoul and it would be a death sentence in say, The West Wing, maybe reroll and call it a mulligan...

    Announcement on Rule 3 and Doujin/Hentai Websites

    Even microsoft runs scam ads in their own app. I know QQ is not beholden to advertisers, just that they tightened the snare on everybody else. But I am glad that Mastercard does not get to flex on QQ. Hooray!

    Announcement on Rule 3 and Doujin/Hentai Websites

    I'm not even talking about liability; I'm talking about skittish webhosts. I did find it funny that BREIN once siezed a server that had a demonoid sticker from a hosting rack. It was just a sticker, the rack did not contain any demonoid files. I wonder how that shook out.

    Announcement on Rule 3 and Doujin/Hentai Websites

    I find it funny that most of the complaints are about edge cases and legality. Both are irrelevant. To reduce risk and yes LIABILITY to the site, the mods have decided to implement rules. You don't have to ENJOY said rules but ignoring them is at YOUR peril. For instance, if the mods were to...

    Adding A Tiping Fuction To The Site

    Crypto is stupid. I don't care how much people make off it. Still stupid. You know full well they will rubber hose the problem. "Can't track the signal" will end in "We are in your home; we have a gun on you. How clever do you feel right now, one to ten?" (Weirdly enough this is politics...

    Adding A Tiping Fuction To The Site

    Could also be someone who wants the site restricted, but that's me interpreting it through a malice lens. Note the message count. I will admit, someone coming into a message board and saying "Hey, set up a payment processing system" is wild. Like yeah, sure, should only take five minutes. Oh...

    I keep falling out of reader mode.

    Discussion is the source of wit, but sometimes I don't have time for it. Sometimes when I hit reader mode, I still get the discussion after chapters. What's up with that? Generally, on desktop, mobile honestly behaves itself better. Same time, sometimes I don't want the discussion, just the...

    Star Trek The Next Generation The Gift: A Star Trek SI

    It's an unparallelled view. Even Kirk was impressed with it. And it's not like he needs THAT apartment, there were similar jetson style towers in the sightline. LOL, I was trying to find a video of the layout because that curved fireplace is wild, but instead I got a video essay that argues...

    Regarding Rules 3/7, and turncoat authors who burned their work

    Just a heads up, that is both generous and how authors who want to do that should do that. Over on TTH, they did not like posthumous "do as thou wilt" permission slips, but they do respect it. I haven't read your fic, might yet, but same time, super generous consent policy. kickass. Rock and Roll.

    Regarding Rules 3/7, and turncoat authors who burned their work

    Yeah, I don't think they'd say turncoat if they aren't angry. I was once accidentally a beta reviewer without knowing what one was. Author just offered to send me early chapters and to tell them how I felt about it. I kind of cringe now because my opinion was worth jack and spit at the time...

    Regarding Rules 3/7, and turncoat authors who burned their work

    Fanfic is by default a gray matter. We're not supposed to do it by legal beagle standards but when we're careful they don't wreck the place. Like I don't agree with Martin's position that fanfiction is illegal and should not be permitted. He's cribbed his damn self and claiming his works are...

    Regarding Rules 3/7, and turncoat authors who burned their work

    I have disliked the way some of your stories have gone but I absolutely respect your right to remove or reformulate them at your pleasure. If you did decide a story was either embarrassing, or just shit, that's down to you, not the audience. Thank you for helping me refine my views on this issue.
