You're post has to be at least 12 characters long.

zelgadissan · Oct 23, 2008, 04:20 AM // 04:20

12 characters. 12 letters. 12 numbers. Whatever, really. Basically it's just to prevent /signed spam, bot spam, or completely irrelevant posts.

QQ is crying. It looks like tears coming from eyes.

QQ is covered in the stickies at the top, every forum has them and they're always good to look at the first time you enter a forum.

Welcome to guru.

Theres the acronym thread.

The forum has a requirement that all posts must be twelve letters, or numbers long.

QQ=crying. I'm guessing since it looks like teardrops from a pair of eyes.

Edit:Bah I guess I was slow this time ^_^

I actually dont get the purpose of the 12 char limit... but yeah its one of guru's reqs.

The QQ tears are used because so many individuals winge and moan about something or other, so they are called QQ threads.

I always thought the 12 character limit is there to encourage you to actually post something productive/constructive/useful.

Rather than just:

lol
+1
noob

etc...

and a little more historuy-- "less QQ is key" or "QQ" or "more QQ pl0x" or whatever e-poser slang you hear these days originally became popular back when the guild Team Quitter [QQ] was at large in '06.

You can blame King Symeon and I for it.

/signed = 7 Characters
/not signed = 11 Characters

Ergo:

"QQ" had been around (and was relatively popular in MMOs) long before [QQ] existed.

It was first used in the early 16th century when a French Apothecary known as Nubstradamus was aproached by a fellow frenchman who told him he did not believe his visions to be accurate, to which he replied " Well, imo your a nub and you fail.. so go QQ somewhere else" The man cried.. and QQ was born.

Eh, i got nothin better to do

imnotyourmother · Oct 23, 2008, 12:42 PM // 12:42

WOW that was prophetic about the Nubstradamus. WOW how'd he know about year X q 69 beaing about GUILD wars. QQ why did I not think of that
