Considering the site and domain name still work, I would further assume however that he or someone else still pay for upkeep so at least we have the forum. As I suggest every year or so, If we want to have an u...

Re: SECCESSIONIST Nations (Map and Flag---SOUTH OSSETIA)

Hey, all.

Not trying to be a prude, but can we also include the rank/uniform info?

Otherwise, this stuff is all micronations and alt history - which is NOT what this site is about unfortunately.

Just my two cents.
