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.

In the Deep Periphery of the Hanseatic League, Klemens, the son of a wealthy merchant family, returns home from a long trip abroad in the Inner Sphere. His first stop? Visiting his eccentric geriatric grandfather, Opa Karl, the progenitor of his family's successes today and supposedly a renowned MechWarrior of yesteryear. However, having now witnessed the glorious might of the Successor States, Klemens has his doubts around the legends surrounding both Opa Karl and his beloved Scorpion BattleMech's pasts. Is there any truth behind his tall tales or are they merely the fantasizes of an old geezer with more money and bravado than sense?
