Too late, we're ahead of you by .06 already..

We're coming for you, TDE and Valhalla..

Just tried it, works fine for me (Win7 beta). Does it work in compatibility mode?

Global Democratic Alliance Democracy, government opportunities, lots of places and ways to help, great community.

Nooooo come back here Legion.

Cancel and re-submit the trade. One of you changed colors after the trade was submitted.

Just lost a 14k nation. Legion's coming after us. -.-

We're just that awesome.

Another big loss for GDA today.

She's 21 and not interested in people who peep at her. Awesome government. This could be a very good 2 months for the GDA.. o/ GDA

Our oldest forum post is October 10th.

Big loss for GDA today.

I'd offer to look at it for you, but I'm pretty sure you wouldn't want me looking at all your data..

The Global Democratic Alliance is a direct democracy which always welcomes new members and ideas. We also have moderated tech deals and trade rings. (Moderation = we do the work for you.) We also have a very active and friendly community on our forums and IRC. Any specific questions can be directed to my via PM or at #GDA on Coldfront. http://www.gdacn.com/ -- #GDA on Coldfront

Definitely not an early one, but the later ones are just about 100% stable. (The RC's are the ones that are believed to be final quality, but they're just double-checking to see if there are any more bugs.) Another example Windows 7 - I'm using it full-time on my main PC, but I wouldn't have dared to do it 6 months ago. It's already at least to the quality that Vista was at when it was released, and I've only had a few crashes in the month or so I've been using it.

Yes, but most admins don't bother to change them. (And, until recently, there were almost none that worked with the 2.0 series..)

-vB4 hasn't had any sort of preview released except for the developers explaining what they intend to do with it. IPB3's had two betas released and the preview board's been online for months. There aren't many bugs left in the bug tracker to be fixed, either. I'm guessing that it'll come out 4-6 months before vB4. -vB's ACP just doesn't look right to me. I have the same problems with it that I have with the rest of the forum in terms of overall look and feel and graphic design. vB looks like it's from 2003 or so.. Also, IPB3's ACP adds a bunch of nice AJAX and Javascript which actually make things much, much more functional. vB4's going to have to add a huge amount of functionality to catch up. Who would've thought that this would turn into an IPB vs vB vs SMF debate?

This. Especially when 3.0 comes out. vB's fallen way behind in terms of development progress.. After using IPB for several months on the GDA's new forums, I don't want to ever use anything else. Looking at the vB ACP demo almost make me puke after looking at IPB's. SMF is the best free forum though (though the skin needs to be completely redesigned...) Back on topic: No downtime ftw. Meh.. let's try it anyway.

Does your alliance have a theme of some sort? No. If you were asked to justify your alliance's existence on Planet Bob, how would you respond? We exist to provide a home to people who want to participate in a democracy where anyone can amount to anything they want. Will I be allowed to remain on the blue sphere? (I have some very long-time trade circle partners, and I don't want to bail on them because they've been very good to me.) Definitely. We're a blue team alliance. What makes your alliance a good fit for me? We offer lots of chances for new members to contribute. Our economics department especially would welcome you, we're a little understaffed in there. In general, our members have very similar values to yours. Our IRC is normally quite active in the evenings, so you'll be able to chat to people daily. (Generally 10-20 people in our private channel.) Link to your alliance's forums: http://www.gdacn.com/ IRC channel: #GDA on Coldfront. PM me or contact me on IRC if you have any questions or if I was too vague.

The Global Democratic Alliance is moderately large, stable and gives lots of chances to contribute and be a part of the community. We are a direct democracy and welcome any members who have something to contribute. If you come on IRC and post a lot, you definitely won't be just another nobody. If you're active and contribute, there's a very good chance you'll end up in government (We just had two members elected to our senate who'd been in the alliance for less than a month). You can get chosen as a deputy minister at any time though. http://www.gdacn.com/ #GDA on coldfront If you have any questions, contact me on IRC or send me a PM.

If you need any help, I have way too much experience with forums.. And to all of the admins out there: This is why backups are a very good idea.

The Global Democratic Alliance has been around for well over two years. We are a direct democracy and new members can immediately start participating and contributing, and we offer millions in joining aid (potentially unlimited) in the form of tech deal profit. Any of our senior members will be happy to help you with any questions or problems you have about the game. If you're interested, check us out at http://www.gdacn.com/ and see if we're the right place for you. If you have any questions, send me a PM or ask in this thread.

The Global Democratic Alliance been around for well over 2 years, and our government's been stable since the beginning. We always welcome new members, ideas and suggestions, and especially people who want to help in the government, so check us out at http://www.gdacn.com and see if we're what you're after. (We also have a stable, insured tech deal program.) Edit: Didn't see "Newer".. /facepalm

You're just jealous. :lol:
