The original regional directory can be some help. viewtopic.php?f=12&t=54
Looks like Nai noted which regions were Commonwealth. I had forgotten LWU worked with them. That tool was earth shattering when it came out. Everyone wanted to be their friend. They let a lot of people use it too - me for instance.

Looks like Tapatalk is slowly deleting databases and ending forums' ability to convert, starting with invisionfree forums that never went to zetaboards. I'm starting to see this message more and more:InvisionFree has now closed.

Such a devastating loss of history.
For anyone out there: I would take this as a "last call" to convert any old forums to Tapatalk. My guess is that before the end of summer anything not moved over there will be lost forever.

I was very new to the game and had no idea who he was or what he had done in NationStates at first, and when I found out I started quietly distancing myself. But yeah, he was a legislator there, and did some other stuff.
The history of the Commonwealth was an interesting read about an organization I knew very little about. Thanks Avakael.

I developed such a tool for the Lexicon in late 2006. Initially the "Endo Toaster" (named for the most innocent interpretation of "tart"), I soon came up with and developed recruitment features. When rejuvenation of the Lexicon led to renewed internal conflict and most Lexis left to found Taijitu, it became Taijitu's recruitment tool. We largely kept quiet about it, though I'm sure it was an open secret. Taijitu grew to be the largest UCR by mid-may 2007 (albeit Gatesville still had a few more UN member nations). The region was "neutral" in the sense that it didn't profess invader or defender ideology, but in reality the Taijitu Army of the day worked exclusively with invaders like Evil Wolf, Meridianland, and Of Crazed. This culminated in the July 2007 invasion of the Rejected Realms through mass ejection of Taijitu nations (and, of course, the loss of diplomatic relations with Equilism). The region recovered, but became more insular. The history of Taijitu after it's refounding in 2011 is not germane to this particular discussion.
In late spring 2008 I became active in The North Pacific again, and applied the Toaster first to telegram campaigns against Lewis and Clark (of the Crimson Order) and then to inviting nations to the offsite forum after the Crimson Order's fall. I may also have shared it with some in the resistance in the East Pacific against the Empire later that year (but that may be a false memory). What definitely happened is that Tresville asked me to share it with Gatesville as part of Gatesville making peace with The North Pacific. I did so, reluctantly, but didn't give much tech support.
Taijitu wasn't very active by the end of 2008, so I imagine the Commonwealth regions didn't face much competition for recruitment from it.
