  • 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.

In a quiet chamber beneath the grasses of Nova Tellus, humanity's leaders face an impossible choice: a distant moon teems with primitive life, destined—perhaps—to evolve. Should it be sterilised to protect humanity's future, or spared in the name of uncertain hope?

Told through the introspective voice of Councillor Eiran Vos, Ash Garden is a lyrical and morally complex exploration of fear, power, and the ethics of survival. As debates unfold with eerie composure and ancient prejudices echo through new institutions, one voice dares to question not just what humanity must do, but what it is becoming.
