  • 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.

Hey,

I've just discovered that I was logged into forum.questionablequesting.com and not questionablequesting.com.

This seems sketchy as hell - have I been using some third-party middle man? If not, why doesn't the login persist between both versions?
 
Why don't they just redirect everything that goes to questionablequesting.com over to forum.questionablequesting.com or vice-versa?

Pretty sure that's exactly what they're doing. Or, to be more precise, they're both aliases for the exact same pages. Not sure why they have both and not just one, though.

They're both aliases for the same backend.

This is basically an accident, and it's somewhere on my todo list to just make one of them redirect to the other. But there's no security problem, it's just mildly inconvenient if you switch from one to the other and find yourself logged out.

That's good to know. Especially since I was shopping for fishing gear and found a fraud/scam site for Penn Fishing. I sent Penn Fishing a message about it, they replied with a thank you and told me they were sending a team to take it down. Also reported it to the authorities in my country because the fraud site was advertising on Instagram.

I honestly thought the two versions were intentional. I've had times where I can't access forum but can use the other one.
