Just FYI, Discord appears to be down. It’s an issue with Discord on their end and not limited to just our Discord channel. No ETA on resolution.
It's Cloudflare. It's affecting many websites, NS included.
Cloudflare engineers have been notified of the situation and are investigating the issue. Several websites have been affected as Sanct said. I guess its time to crack out a novel and wait it out.
Cloudflare went absolutely wild. We've witnessed history!
Wait, what happened?
Half the internet went offline.
I was asleep lol. Witnessing history is highly overrated - how many chapters of history textbooks describe events that are in any way pleasant? Not many.
I'm inclined to agree with you on this one, Lauch. 2020 is getting its own chapter in the history books and I haven't liked it one bit.
Anyway, I've been insanely busy with real-world stuff lately but I am proud to announce that Laeral and Trive 38 will be our 2020 IDUSA Speaker candidates in this upcoming election. The actual voting period will open up tonight and will close on or around July 25th, 2020. Stay tuned for more IDUSA related updates.

In what way?
Discord and a bunch of other apps crashed.

The "anatomy" of the internet is sometimes a crazy thing to contemplate...
Hiii. I have arrived.
Wow...it has been a long time since I was back here. A lot has changed but its good to see old timers like Malabra, Grosseschnauzer and Gnejs are still around.

AF, I’m unofficially in semi retirement mode. I’m still catching up on life after a rough patch a couple years ago, and the pandemic hasn’t helped things!

Gross, I understand. I hadn't considered coming back, but sometimes you just start to wonder how things are after so long. Gotta say I am impressed with the updates they've made around here.
As the heavens opened today in Aunistria, and torrential rain lashed below, Gnejs has managed to secure the IDUFC Trophy in a hard fought victory vs Assamland. This means that the Gnejsians have held the title for two consecutive iterations of the IDUFC, and that is extremely impressive. The Gnejsians are now undoubtedly the most dominant IDU Football Nation.
The Kingdom of Legionas, on behalf of every other member of the International Democratic Union, wishes to extend a hand to the Gnejsians in good faith for a hard fought campaign. There have been many upsets, triumphs and moments of controversy, but the Gnejsians were superior to everybody else, and deservedly walk away with the title in hand, ready to defend it at the next iteration of the IDUFC.
His Majesty's Government wishes to thank all nations that participated in the spectacle, as well as their citizens for attending the matches, both those who traveled to Legionas to spectate live, as well as those who chose to tune in from the comfort of their homes, bars, and viewing platforms. Without them, the tournament would not have been a success as it was. Sport can be used to achieve positive change in the world, and HM's Government is committed to continue it's role in the IDU as a bulwark of peace, love and unity while also promoting global sportsmanship and integrity through sport and friendly diplomacy. The hosting of the IDUFC with the global attention it attracts can be a powerful catalyst for constructive dialogue between people and governments, helping to bring positive social developments, and that is what we will strive to achieve in the in the present and the future.
IN VARIETATE CONCORDIA

Welcome. Glad to have you here.

Welcome home.

Thank you so much guys for this warm welcome.
The map has been updated. Check it out here: https://theidu.us/forum/viewtopic.php?f=5&t=2174.
Please note, the continent names have been removed this update, but will be restored next update with replacement names for the continents formerly known as "Hespia" and "Catica." Unfortunately, these names were created by a previous cartographer and used on this map without consultation. As a result, there are conflicts on the wiki about references to different continents which use the same name. Therefore, I am proposing to re-name the northeastern continent "Hesperida" and the southeastern continent "Caxcana." IRL Hesperida comes from Greek mythology and is descriptive of gardens where golden apples were grown; the Caxcan (pronounced (kosh-KON)) were an fierce indigenous people of Central México.
I'm interested in public comment on this change. If you have any opinions about it, please let me know on the RMB thread above, or TG, or Discord.
