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.
    Dismiss Notice
  5. Due to the actions of particularly persistent spammers and trolls, we will be banning disposable email addresses from today onward.
    Dismiss Notice
  6. A note about the current Ukraine situation: Discussion of it is still prohibited as per Rule 8

  7. The rules regarding NSFW links have been updated. See here for details.

    From what I've read, it's an insular community that circularly reinforces its member's perceptions of the world. That's the sort of environment that produces some really distorted viewpoints.

    I recommend not giving anything of theirs you read too much credence.

    Breaking as in it feels like a veil was ripped from my eyes and I'm starting to see things for how they are when it should have been clear from the get go. I've been lied to my whole life by people that just wanted to feel good by feeding me bullshit every day that was manufactured to make me feel good. None of it did anything to actually help me and all this time I was deluded it was helping.

    I won't say that epiphanies aren't real - I had a moment much like that myself at the age of 15 - but try not to get suckered into a conspiracy theory in the aftermath of one.

    Most MRA screeds have at least some truth to them. This doesn't mean that all of what they say is useful.

    A lot of it is down right depressing. Makes me feel hopeless in many ways.
