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.

Is it possible to search for oldest archived post or thread that contains a term or phrase?

    I was wondering is it possible to search for a term and have it go back to the oldest possible archived post or thread it appeared in? Currently I can only go back to no more then 20 pages or a few months at the most.

    It is possible. Use the "more" button on the search bar to bring up advanced search. Type in and click your conditions, and take note of the dot that says order by: "most recent". Run the search. Scroll down to the lowest entry on the last possible page if there is more than one page of results, and you have your oldest possible archived post.
