Hey!

I've noticed that many people don't yet have a QT account - It is very very simple to sign up (pick username, password and maybe provide an email) and it is very convenient to have because it sets quicktopic.com to a splash screen containing an ordered (by last post) list of all the quicktopics you have ever visited and highlights ones that have been posted in/edited since your last visit. So it's very easy to see if you have anything new going on in QT's for your games.

Like so:

 

Huh. I happen to have an account; the site has proved pretty cool and convenient for the purpose I'm using it for (trying to set up a blog with 2 other contributors living in different timezones), though I don't see how it's preferable to an actual forum, if we're talking about games.

 

Well, the actual game continues on the forums, but private talks between individual players and the moderator can happen on QTs, which is much simpler than PMs.
