1. 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.
    Dismiss Notice
  2. 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.
    Dismiss Notice
  3. 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.
    Dismiss Notice
  4. If you wish to change your username, please ask via conversation to tehelgee instead of asking via my profile. I'd like to not clutter it up with such requests.

  5. Due to the actions of particularly persistent spammers and trolls, we will be banning disposable email addresses from today onward.

    Pronounce it how? S-Kuh? Sss-ch?
    ...I should probably be using international phonetic, but I find myself too lazy to go find it to copy/paste.

    A lot like the initial sound in the word chunk. Tends to be a little sharper, but essentially the same sound

    The first word I could think of with a Sch in it is School. That sounds a touch different, in my experience. Though, that's probably one of English's legacy fuckups.

    Regardless, are there really people who cannot pronounce t͡ʃ?

    I have username elsewhere that includes Sch, and people keep telling me they can't pronounce it. (To clarify it'sa perfectly normal word other than a single case of s->sch)

    And school, if written phonetically turns into skool. The sound I'm talking about is more akin to the German word Schule - which also means school :)
