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.

Summary: PROJECT: Agoge was the secret weapon the Ascendancy of Man used when its mad war for 'living space' against its people and various alien races pulled it towards ruin. In its jealousy and envy of Magic, it had kidnapped children to turn them into mystic soldiers, giving them powers in a futile attempt to gain final victory. Now that the Outer Colonies are free, Earth's arrogance and greed are humbled, and the Inner Colonies are paying reparations to the Compact of Species whose land and lives they tried to take, what lives can one of these magically-empowered soldiers have in a changed galaxy?
