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.
The rules regarding NSFW links have been updated. See here for details.

Oh man, I swear I was just talking about old bad fanfiction when I wrote this, though a lot does still fit. Peter isn't left completely powerless, which was what I was thinking about when it comes to bad tropes. But... the narrative does almost make him feel like that. I can see what they went...
"Some people seem to think reading is something you do with your mouth."
-Me, after my boss apparently misread a message from me for the third time.
Not responding this time, as trying to explain the last two just made him fly into a rage over what he thought he read in the first place.

One subtle theory I have for RWBY is about why STRQ built their home in the middle of the woods on Patch.
In a world where almost everyone lives in towns and cities with defences and huntsmen and guards and everything, they live outside of that. And sure...
