It appears to be reasonably accurate as Blaatschapen and Ballo are ranked before me, I know they predate this nation. Crazy Girl was founded after me and is listed later.

This also makes me the oldest surviving non moderator Dutchie. :eyebrow:


Ballotonia is not a moderator.

Also, I've seen NAK NAK with a dutch motto once...
Admin, you pedantic sheep :p

IIRC, the oldest couldn't be much older than Nov/Dec 2002, and it would go on up from there to whoever remains playing. You've already seen at least one post in here who qualifies for that. Myself, I was part of the early May 2003 influx, and I know of several players who are still around from before my start date.

All it really says is that we've stuck around, for one reason or other, be it dedication, a lack of fucks given & just habit, ongoing play in whatever area we've chosen, the people (my primary drive), or other bits. It isn't as though you get any special bonuses, or are automatically respected - which makes sense in some ways. People tend to leave that for folks they know, have interacted with, or observed in action, and have earned it one way or another. Doesn't take much to just log in continuously. To actually do something with that or those accounts? I'd say that's more impressive as such things go. Not just simple longevity.

You do realize that a moderator has been participating in this thread, and that "in b4 lock" spam is spamming, right?

Blaat posted after him and then implied you are not a moderator. :p

Blaat is from december 2002.

Why was NS2 shut down anyway? Wasn't it a more interactive version of NS?

Honestly, it was kind of crap. I don't remember the official reason.

Kind of off-topic, but what was even different about NS2?
For anyone wondering, I joined this website during my edgy teenage years. I made a lot of dumb, awkward posts, flip-flopped between various extreme ideologies, and just generally embarrassed myself. I denounce a sizable amount of my past posts. I am no longer active on NationStates and this nation/account is no longer used.

What I do is chop the population number and will tell the answer.

Kyupaa's population is 29.838billion
Chop it in half and you get 14919000000, 1 billion is 1 year and Kyupaa hass played an estimate 14.1 years.
Nationstates was originally Nationstates 2 before so Kyupaa propably even experiened the old version before the current


IIRC, NS2 was a side project. NS was never originally NS2.
