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.

Yes.
It's not as if everyone who has misconceptions "Finds out". But the story is now entering the endgame, so to speak.
Chapter 61: Revelations Part I
‘Anyone familiar with the history of the Faith of the Seven will be familiar with the Schism. However, while the Four Maidens had already left Westeros years before it happened and, therefore, cannot be blamed for it, their influence on the Faith, and especially...

Chapter 58: The Schemer
‘From a scholarly point of view, the influence that Lady Ruby and her friends exerted on Essos was, therefore, of a strictly indirect manner, through those members of the Order, and the faithful heeding their teachings, who later ventured to Essos. Yet, despite the clear...
