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.
    Dismiss Notice
  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.
    Dismiss Notice
  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.

    Would a subforum for CYOA be appropriate? The thread is currently around 150 pages, and is only going to grow larger as more are posted. It would allow for each CYOA to have it's own thread while keeping them grouped together and tangents connected to a particular CYOA wouldn't bother others.

    Its another kind of quest right? He simplest form iirc, with the author/gm having a great amount of control. Id say it deserves its own forum. Or atleast a tag.

    Writing prompt, or at least a jump chain prompt, not a quest.

    From what I recall of reading, and online participation on /b/ years ago, CYOA basically starts as a premise, a few paragraph, then a list of options, and you take one and the author writes from there, ad nauseum. Similar to paper cyoa.


    The other way is using massive images and letting people chose powers, items, etc within a scenario and going from there, giving short explanation of their tales.

    CYOA subforum has my vote too. Lots of different CYOA's out there to play with, would be nice to give the big ones their own threads to keep everything tidy.

    Threads in the Questing subforums already have the option for a [CYOA] prefix.
