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.
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.
The problem, imo, is with half-assing it. Tip jars are doomed to fail from what I've seen second hand, and all they do is make you feel bad/like a failure. If you want to give yourself a financial incentive to write, you have to give your readers a serious (but also reliable) incentive to support you financially. Just saying "feel free to donate but all content will remain free" is going to result in nobody donating.
Hahaha, but it's a matter of opportunity cost, I guess. But instead, it's just "I gain more from doing nothing than spending time and effort trying to make money from writing", or something like that.
Oh yeah for sure. You have to weigh your options. I spent four years working retail/service industry and got to the point where it literally felt like my soul was being sucked out of my body. The 'career path' I saw myself taking was eventually becoming a manager at the store and just... sitting in that job forever and ever. And I hated that idea.
not by choice. But because of their business failing or something? Yeah, there are probably tons of failed entrepeneurs who had to settle for retail/service industry jobs. And also a bunch of people with college degrees lol
