2 Questions: Antiquity? The original, original forum?

[Luna Amore]

Despite knowing the exact date, I'm not sure I want to put it into my info once the tools are available. I kinda like the mystery of "Antiquity"!

No kidding. I'm tempted to clear out the Birthday field I added a few years ago, heh.

Hey, why aren't from antiquity like the rest of us?

[Pixies on Toadstools]

Just checking our start date!

[Phaedra]

Ditto. Well, [violet] does want to check whether this Beta can handle the load.

Edit: I thought Phaedra was older than that.

[Atavistica]

Errinundera's youngest puppet state.

Edit: There's definitely something wrong with Phaedra's start date.

[Australian Labor Party]

Checking start date.

Edit: Definitely something wrong here. How can a nation with a population of 1.459 billion have been founded less than a month ago?

Edit 2: Come to think of it, 6 April 2009 was when I resurrected Australian Labor Party.

[Northrop-Grumman]

Checking start date.

How long were your puppets deceased for?

[West-Flanders]

My founding date says "Apr 29, 2007", though I have a population of over 12,5 billion. I started around june 2003.. but my nation "ceased to excist" for a brief period in 2007.

[Errinundera]

Checking start date.

Years, in some cases.

That sometimes will break it and reset the date to when you last had them rezzed.

[Errinundera]

Makes sense. I'm relieved Errinundera kept its "antiquity" status.

There's definitely something wrong with Phaedra's start date.

Yeah. I made it so if we have no record of a nation's birthday, but it does have a resurrection date, that gets used. But that's just stupid. I'm going to scrap that.

OK, done. Sorry to everyone who just got forcibly logged out. I also manually corrected "Founded" dates for West-Flanders and Phaedra.

[Kryozerkia]

So it wasn't my imagination...

Great, thanks! I feel less like a n00b now.

[My Minds Eye]

Hmmm checking to see if nation inactivity changes the date.

Awesome, Antiquity.

[HC Eredivisie]

Same here.

edit: woohoo, I'm ancient

I've created a new category in NSwiki: Nations from Antiquity.

Hey. Anything to have some exclusivity!

Could you provide a link to the NSWiki?

I don't remember the exact date I joined, only the month (June) and the year (2003). I remember the pre-jolt forums and the double (triple, quadruple) posts and spending hours trying to log in. Ah the good old days.

That's because we all remember when we used to post on the real NS forums. Before the days of jolt.

I believe that was on alternate Tuesdays, provided that the moon was full and somebody had brought cheese toasties, otherwise they just didn't fricking work.

Cheese toasties? You had to bring a forum whacking stick, Alan Belmore, a rubber chicken and a large trout to be able to use the fora every day between 5 to 6 am. Those were the days...

And don't forget about kicking the server hamsters! That was part of the ritual, too!

[Rejistania]

Well, I used the forum-whacking stick to wake up the hamster. Was that wrong?

[Flibbleites]

Only if you whacked the hamster too hard

Heh. Open 10 threads in tabs. Reload 15 times to get them to appear. Try ten times each to get a reply box. Write every reply. "Preview" on thread to hunt for those precious 10 seconds when the forum was going to work. Hit "add reply" for each tab in a mad hope that your replies will get through with out multi-posting...

Looks like what happened to me too? Is it wrong that I remember to the day when I first created the Imperium, May 5, 2003, back when the day and month you were created were important to survival. I remembered being terrified of squaring off against April nations, even if they were just a few days older than me. I always have worn that date as a badge of honor, but some inactivity after '05 seems to have cleansed me of it. I would love if Mods got the ability to fix it, but understand all the problems that could entail.

Repeating that process daily...or once, twice, a half-dozen times a day. Losing whole posts. I still back everything up several times before I post it. Copy it into the clipboard, save everything in a text file....
