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.
>Or another thing I remember was when he said that Tolkien was tedious to him and called Lord of the Rings The Brotherhood of the Rings, as if he had forgotten the name of the book.
Was there a translation somewhere in there? Because this sounds like it might refer to The Fellowship of the...
(The first shut down, though, and I imagine Jackie and Ritterin Sophia would ban him, likely after doxxing and/or cyberattacking him, if he joined the second.)
No, he didn't. He was never banned from DWW (unless he was Ubermensch, which he almost certainly wasn't), and TTBOMK isn't banned on Smugcat//Nyanarchy/whatever-Jackie-and-Ritterin-Sophia-call-it-now. There might also be another one or two spinoffs with which I'm not familiar.
I'm suspecting that the original context for the first line was Margaret Howe Lovatt.
EDIT: Whoops, saw it was near the end of the thread and didn't realise it was 3.5 years old.
Didn't Wikipedia use to have a "longest works of fiction" page, or something very similar? I'm guessing they abandoned it due to sprawling fanfics and web novels, but does anybody know the details?
Did some more testing. I can stick 100 million characters in the reply box, but it won't actually let me post more than somewhere between 8 and 9 million. Enough for War and Peace, but IIRC not quite enough for Worm.
EDIT: it's possible that this was a timeout and that someone with a faster...
I remember testing and finding that the character limit was somewhere between 300,000 and 400,000 (it's not a word limit; the post consisted entirely of question marks). I think that that was under XF1, though, so it might be larger now.
Hence the note I dropped on the last page.
Yes, AI's good at brainwashing. From my point of view that's an additional reason to smash the AI and deprogram the cultists.
I'd suggest following the quote chain back; this is severely misconstruing what we were talking about.
People who post AI stories and admit they're AI are definitely not fraudsters. It's the ones who claim their AI stories to be human-made in order to get people to pay them that we said were...
TTBOMK nobody's actually pursued a fanfic case far enough to get case law on whether it's illegal (the question is "transformative works"). They've all ended in one party or another giving up before verdict, and not always the fanfic writer.
I'll admit, I'm also opposed to copyright - but...
