Yeah After I watched the video and I went to check nationstates my computer was super slow, then I went to hoi4 to see if my computer was slow and it ran normal speed, I then went to NS on my phone and it was super slow and then I remembered Drews video and I was like "Oh no, he's created a monster"

If MB was like Trump now we would have a Wall that...

Jokes aside, I thank my region is so small and always passes unnoticed. I don't want to imagine the activity in certain regional message boards... O_____o

The Pacific and other feeders are hyper-active mostly from new nations introducing themselves.

Small regions are seeing no more activity than usual.

Oh man there’s gonna be hell to pay for the edgy newcomers, the ones who have good intentions I’ll get by.

And, I believe personally, the only decent thing I can do is just take all of the names based off of alternate history world if Nazi Germany had won World War Two so...yeah...I believe did a service I guess.

I think the lag has finally stopped. Everything’s pulling up at normal speeds.

Regardless, I do believe that this is a great opportunity to meet new users and to honestly acquaint them to the NationStates community. While the site going down is always a troubling thing, I still rest assured that a new influx of fresh faces will lively up the forums and make navigating the site in the future all the more pleasant, diverse, and wholesome.

I got a gold badge for my stats thanks to the influx of nations.

So... I guess after the atrocious lagging, comes a small piece of solace.

2014 all over again? I actually joined in 2014 but I wasn't aware of any influx of nations? When was this?

What happened in 2014?

A ton of people flooded in that summer, RPing edgy ISIS knockoffs. There was a pretty infamous thread on International Incidents IIRC that started off as an ISIS murderdeath RP, but ended up as a "sex" RP :blink:

. Yup...it was even worse than it sounds.

Yikes. I am both glad and slightly disappointed I was not around to see that.

I just realized my Automobile Industry got a higher rating too...even if it had been going down for months.

well, as someone who joined because of him, time to share my thoughts i guess

ALL HAIL OUR LORD Yeah everyone is tired of this already

for people who are despising the new wave of players, just let the time pass. most of the new people here (and probably myself too i guess) will be gone after some days-two weeks (if they dont get banned).

by **Dukin Donuts** » Mon Apr 20, 2020 2:34 pm

A lot of people are on the forums righ now. I’ve never seen it rise above 120 before.

On the contrary, I personally would like to invite you to stay. I'm sure that given some time, you'll find there's a lot more to appreciate about NationStates and that only one isuse every few hours isn't that bad.

It is actually causing issues though, as regular players like me are having connection issues because so many new people are joining...
