• The site has now migrated to Xenforo 2. If you see any issues with the forum operation, please post them in the feedback thread.
  • 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.

Problems with QQ?

[11:16] <@alethiophile> UrsaTempest: Our host had a hardware blowup.
[11:16] <@alethiophile> The server was never actually even down, just off the net.
 
Yes, the cause was simply network hardware failure. I was cut off from all administrative access to our server throughout, because there was no network; however, the hosts were transparent about the problem existing and the timeframe in fixing it.

They say that they're going over procedures in order to lessen the impact of potential future problems. Given that, and the fact that the current hosts haven't had any real problems other than this, I would guess it's unlikely to recur soon. Hardware failures are pretty much black swan events anyway.
