The issue with logging in with email addresses has been resolved.
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.

Who happens to have superpowers.
That's a lot closer to the pop culture superhero archetype.
Batman is rather an outlier. Not really representative of the average...
I had this amazing - and amusing - mental image of Professor X and his big yellow wheelchair in the middle of nowhere.
Then I realized it would actually be a good idea, because it would get him away from everyone and give him some mental peace and quiet. And not just the usual kind.
Also the...
You know it's funny. I didn't actually click the link so I recognized the song just from the description alone. And I don't think I've even ever noticed that the narrator in that song was talking to a priest.
Funny coincidence. I have a big slush file of random ideas for my stories and I had an idea very much like this one.
But the "password" would be a trap, and set off an alarm.
Great minds, I guess.
Miss T is a bit panicked and irrational right now, and Otis is not exactly the sharpest crayon in the box. Or possibly neurodivergent. Or both.
What I want to know is, do they have an equivalent procedure for suspected female heroes? And what if the suspected hero isn't straight?
EDIT: also I...
