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.
    Dismiss Notice
  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.

  5. Due to the actions of particularly persistent spammers and trolls, we will be banning disposable email addresses from today onward.

    Well, Good Old Downloads has shut down for good it seems. I don't really know what else to say as I'm still shocked that it's actually happened. I'm really going to miss the site.

    Edit: Downloads, not Games. :oops:

    What? They posted on their official twitter 8 hours ago and nothing said anything about them shutting down.

    You seem to have made some sort of mistake. Good Old Downloads and Good Old Games are not the same site. Good Old games, both the site and the launcher, are working perfectly fine.

    Edit: Good Old Downloads was a piracy site that bought a copy of the game from GOG, and then made the games available to download for free from their own website.

    Yeah, I'm not sure how I fucked that up like I did but it's fixed now. Thank you for the correction.
