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.

  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.

  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.

  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.

    Wow. That's terrible. Is there any information on who was behind it? I can't find anything.

    There's a map of where the blasts went off. Hopefully there's no more deaths :(

    I would speculate that it's a homegrown unhinged white dude. Doesn't really seem like a terrorist attack.

    It's a terrible tragedy no matter who did it.

    It's an odd thought but...
    I'd bet on the US supreme court considering whether human genes can be patented being more important in the grand scheme of things than this bombing (tragic though it is, it's less than those killed by breast cancer every day in a Boston and probably doesn't require the amount of attention given to it).
