1. 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.
    Dismiss Notice
  2. 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.
    Dismiss Notice
  3. 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.
    Dismiss Notice
  4. 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.

  5. Due to the actions of particularly persistent spammers and trolls, we will be banning disposable email addresses from today onward.

    The forum now has a live chat function. You can find a link to it in your menu bar on the Pulse theme, and in the links at the top of the page on the bluebird theme.

    Currently, we're still testing how this will work with the forum, its somewhat resource intensive server-side, so it may be a permanent fixture, or it may not.

    We will sort out some kind of alternative if it doesn't work out.

    Feedback is appreciated.

    Due to the very CPU intensive nature of the chat plugin, we had to scrap it.

    Instead, we have a webchat IRC channel, linked in the top bar of both the Pulse(default) and Bluebird themes.

    Remember to register your nickname, like any IRC server, with /nickserv register password email. You will need to activate the registration, but it prevents anyone from claiming to be you.

    The default channel is #questionablequesting. We have decided against having a seperate channel for NSFW content, as its just IRC anyway.

    Or if you prefer to use a separate client, we're on the Freenode server.
