it broke the site once
Edit: twice
Because sometimes even national leaders just want to hang out

It’s not a big event, it’s just a reminder. With WWII anniversaries we don’t go around jumping and laughing, we just remind ourselves of what happened.

I’m actually surprised that they never got banned and even if they didn’t got banned it’s not like the owners of these nations would care less about them. They likely CTE like a few months ago because the large majority of these nations are probably little kids.

And yet people are celebrating, which is why I'm confused in the first place. This isn’t something people should celebrate, as I'm sure people who were on the site a year ago experienced some kind of trauma during the event.

I think you do, but my opinion is very subjective and it always has been. My rule is: if I see someone around the forums a lot and instantly know someone whenever I see their name, they're established to me. Of course, we hang around the same forums, so other people may not know you was well as I do.

Why would they get banned?

Like with any unusually large influx of new nations, we did have a spike in nations with instant-deletion names/fields/flags/etc, but only because we had a spike in new nations. Say maybe 1% of all new nations have delete-worthy names/fields/etc overall. 1% of 100 nations/hr is going to be a much smaller number than 1% of 10,000 nations/hr. But we'd never ban a bunch of innocent players for the "crime" of all joining at the same time. Just... the site might be laggy for a bit until the tidal wave subsides.
Also, holy fuck it's been a year already? I swear time has just been completely fucked up since the pandemic got going last year. I do think we had a higher level of player retention from the "Drewpocalypse" though; I mean, there was a decided die-off of short-lived nations about a month after the two videos, but I think that one-two punch of the first video and the followup a week later got more people who might otherwise have been a one-and-done login to check their nations again and poke around long enough for NS to get its hooks into 'em.
And for funsies, the New Nations graph snapshot [v] let me post from last year catching the Drewpocalypse Part 1 and 2, as well as a Reddit spike and an Imgur spike several months earlier.

Elaborate on the latter two spikes.
