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.
The rules regarding NSFW links have been updated. See here for details.
I can't tell if Bii is calling me nutty (in french) or if this is a Tanuki explanation. Both are acceptable and delightful.
Ah, that makes sense. I hear they came out with a new recipe, so this is the perfect time. Good job Admins.
Just saw the new announcement, does this mean that we are finally free from the curse? Will the Hamsters finally get their long, awaited new cage with a shiny new wheel to spin?
You can maintain that position, but the fact remains that you receive something for money spent, and the "donations" are under the "Account Upgrades" tab.
If I can't reasonably expect to write it off of my taxes, then I wouldn't call it a donation.
Yes, yes, it's labeled as a donation, but also as an accout upgrade. It is providing a service rendered (name color change) in return for payment (donation).
When you toss away the fancy jargon and get down to it, it is a transaction.
Point being?
Someone providing 5 bucks getting the same thing as someone giving 50 bucks isn't an economical choice, unless they are doing it out of the kindness of their heart.
I'm a cheap bastard. Proudly, too. But I spend enough time on QQ to make a subscription worthwhile if it provided...
Interesting. I'll chip in 5 bucks. I don't think buying a subscription is a good idea when we are about to upgrade.
Mods / Admins, will there be different features offered to subscribers in the update? A username color change doesn't feel like it's worth the cost.
Almost got me, I'll give you that. Saw it was a youtube link when I hovered over it.
I am guessing a Rickroll? Maybe something cursed, like 2 Girls One Cup?
Either way, have a like for the attempt.
I prefer posts over likes when I post stories and updates. It means the story was enough to get them to say something.
It may be low content, but it feels good knowing that I made something that made even a small change in someone's day, doing something most people wouldn't even bother doing.
Ah, well now that I am looking at Blackened Purple, it's not bad on the eyes.
Does make every link look like it was already clicked, like Google or some such, but that’s hardly a problem.
Well, this was reassuring. I don't think I could stay on QQ without a dark theme. I'm prone to...
A couple of billionaires took a trip down to the Titanic wreckage and decided it was a good look.
(They used a Submarine that didn't pass safety inspection at all, and it predictably failed because of course the billionaires knows better than the actual experts. :V)
A singularity is outside space and time, but can still be measured via Schwarzschild Radius, or R=2GM/c². Basically, you momma is so fat she is like Thanos, a fat fucking inevitability that everyone tries to avoid.
I mean, it's a little hard to beat the orgasmic sound of an A-10 Warthog having fun. C-RAM comes close, but only wins in duration for that delicious BBBRRRRTTTTT sound.
