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.

    I'm just going to let this quoted post of mine from the NSFW Favorite Pictures thread speak for itself:

    It's just odd that this board doesn't have a dedicated art forum like its SFW counterparts.

    ...Has there been absolutely no interest in my Art Forum suggestion? I would've thought more people would've been in favor of it!:(

    Sorry... But there aren't that many artist on the forum I suspect... Or at least enough to push it on...

    Well, if anything, having one around might attract a few... or at the very least, let existing members try their hand at making some of their own... right?

    There's a curious little effect in forums, I call it the 'empty forum trap'. When a forum doesn't get a lot of traffic, people are loathe to post to it. There's a few possible reasons for it that I can think of: not wanting to stand out, not wanting to commit necromancy, or they're simply insecure in the quality of their content. This effect prevents a low traffic forum from getting posts which would increase its use, keeping it low traffic.

    To my knowledge, we don't have enough art creators to keep a forum like that from falling to into the empty sub trap.

    Huh... if we had SV's rating system, I would give this an Informative rating.

    I'd have probably given it an Insightful instead.
