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.

Oh well... There goes the neighborhood. I'm going to miss this place.:(
Well, there's always Fanfic Paradise. The owner of that site swore she'd never change it from Xen 1. Ever.
So I still have someplace to go.:)
It is kinda empty at the moment.:(
But, wow, it has an original fic by Ack. That I've never seen at anywhere else. I can read an original Ack fic!:)

I would prefer an XF2 forum and not getting doxxed/hacked than an XF1 forum and being doxxed/hacked.
Again, this is not just wild speculation. Orain got hit, and the apparent motive seems to be that they hosted a fork of TVtropes that covered porn works and porn tropes (and also things like the Corruption of Champions wiki). QQ is mostly a fork of SB for porn stories. See any similarities here? SB is smaller than TVtropes and QQ smaller than Orain in its entirety, but not by that much.
Fanfic Paradise may escape this fate by simply being too much of a ghost town to bother with, but if it does manage to grow it'll be in this same bind. You can't have all four of "large forum", "allows porn", "uses vulnerable software", "doesn't get hacked".

Well, I personally agree Fanfic Paradise's Dark Goddess in charge of it. Xen 2 sucks. Xen 1 rules.
Hmmm... Hostinger.com, Fanfic Paradise's host, is very strict about that of thing. Anyone hacking one of their sites gets a nice trip to jail.
Fanfic Paradise is split into two forums. A SFW, and a NSFW. Not one forum split like QQ here is. But two actual, seperate forums. The SFW one should be just fine.
It has rules similar to, but not as ridiculous, as SB. They make it quite clear to take anything questionable to the NSFW forum.
They are a bit of a "ghost town" as you said. Of the members who have signed up this year, only one wanted an author account. And they... haven't actually posted anything yet. Yeah... So, I'm sure it'll pick up... eventually.
Both forums are on fanficparadise.com . Which has a lifetime SSL certificate thing. They should be secure enough for anyone.

Nah, all web forum software sucks, universally. You're just used to XF1. If you think you actually like it, it's probably Stockholm Syndrome.

...if they get caught, and they're in a country that co-operates with the West on charges of hacking. Most hackers aren't caught.
SSL is about protecting users from someone impersonating the site, and about protecting communications between users and the site from an evil ISP. It's not about protecting the server from being hacked.

There's an option to do that in XF1; you just missed it.
User menu at top-right -> Preferences -> Search Options -> Most Recent.

Huh, that should be default, no other XF1 site I can think of has it otherwise.
Thanks!

I hate you so much. If you're not gonna do it just say so, so I can write my stuff in XF1 format. If your gonna change it would you please get the fuck on with it so I can write my stuff in XF2 format. I don't want all my shit to break because you switch after I started using XF1 format. But either way don't taunt and mock me about it please. I can trust you zero percent on this 1-2 month thing because
I have waited two and a half fucking years. I even bought a green name.
Make a decision and get it done.
If you don't have the manpower or skill, let me know how much money you need to hire a professional for the fifteen seconds it takes to click an upgrade button. Sorry, I know that's an unfair hyperbole, but I'm kinda pissed.

We can't exactly stay on unsupported XF1 forever. (Honestly, I don't get the hate for XF2. Yeah, the XF1 interface is a bit nicer, but it's not exactly a huge change.)

Legit didn't notice this til now, sorry.
Yeah, I get the frustrations. Trust me, I *really do.* There've been some.... issues, pretty much ever since the pandemic started. Some of it is staff issues (Elgee was last on QQ just under a year ago, and was hard to reach for a while before that. He's alive, just pretty much hands-off from QQ now), time was spent figuring out if Aleth was going to handle it like he was able to for the original Xenforo move, and I'll admit, I could have done more to get it rolling again too.
The 'consultant' mentioned is Xon, who also handled the SV and SB migrations to XF2. We've just gotten him access like a week ago, and he's begun the poking and prodding to see what needs to be done just this week.
We're trying to preserve as much BBcode as possible, keeping all the functionality we have with it. If you have any posts that use complex BBcode, it'd actually help us if you gave us links to them- so we can verify before-and-after conversion.
The plan is to do a couple test runs as a separate instance, as to be able to see before-and-after what it will look like, before doing the actual cutover to XF2.

Honestly, I just want the same textbox as now. That's the most important part for me, as a writer. The fullscreen functionality, the easy access to so many buttons (rather than having to press dropdown lists), and the swiftness in how it responds to commands (SB still has a delay if you press bolded or italics or etc.) means typing here is the smoothest from all of the sites.
Or if nothing else, some method to preserve the textbox elsewhere for use.

You mean the exact position of the button next to thread list? (Because QQ already has an ignore function) Presumably there will be one there too since the ignore function I have seen on XF2(AH's for years now and more recently SB's) have it there.

I don't recall about the threads list pages in particular, but we've had an "ignore thread" function for as long as I can recall. So, minimum estimate of "at least several months before April 2017"?

2015 I think? Maybe earlier, but that is about when I remember it already existing and what I could find from a quick search.

What the above posters are referring to is the 'Ignore Thread' link, located next to the 'Watch Thread' link at the top of every page in a given thread.
You may be referring to the ability to Ignore a thread from a given sub-forum threadlist, which was introduced relatively recently on SB. In which case, that would indeed be a nice thing for QQ to acquire.

Is there the ability to have ignored threads not appear among search results? It would be rather handy.

On SB, I would have rated this funny, because clearly we can, and likely will.

I mean, things have apparently progressed to the point where they're throwing money at it. I doubt Xon is doing his consultancy for free, after all.

Okay, allow me to rephrase: we really shouldn't stay on unsupported XF1 forever.
