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.

    It can be saving money if going out of your way results in getting it for sufficiently less.

    It's not saving money if you wouldn't have bought it normally, though.

    Saving money needs a purpose behind it, a goal to be saving towards. Otherwise, it's just being parsimonious for the fear of making the wrong decision and/or for humblebragging.

    or the rush of 'oh cool, I got this this for so much less than it normally is" some sort of shopper's rush, if you will

    If I could get a TV for one hundred pounds or three hundred pounds, the same TV, and I wanted a TV like the one I could get, then going out of my way for the one at a third of the price is worthwhile to a point.

    It stops being worthwhile when the time and energy spent on getting it feels worth two hundred pounds.

    ok, that kind of instance is not what im talking about. Im talking about buying things you don't normally think about buying, but buy it just because its on sale.

    If you buy things just to buy them, it doesn't matter how cheap it is, you're still spending money and not saving it
