Keep trying I guess, if it doesn't work, try back tomorrow.

You can post your claims and stuff here, and I will transfer them there. (I am using Linkman's signup sheet and map) So far no one has posted a map.

It took them a few hours to accept my account.

It took them a few hours to accept my account.

That's because Ah.com has only a handful moderators and one Admin.

That sounds like a bit of an issue if they want to approve every member when they could just use a super fancy capatcha type thing.

Like an image of "What is the middle name of Luke Skywalker's actor?"

Or they could just post "This sentence is false," and all the computers trying to gain membership would just explode.

Spoiler details :

The Azerbaijani exclave is Naxcivan. It was originally part of the Armenia that declared independence upon the collapse of the Russian and Ottoman Empires. The area had a large Azeri population and Azerbaijan (which declared itself independent at the same time) went to war with the Armenians over it. By 1921 both Armenia and Azerbaijan were occupied by the Red Army and incorporated into the Soviet Union. To resolve the dispute, a referendum was organised that led to Naxcivan becoming part of the Azerbaijani SSR. The Armenians gradually left the region and Azeris moved in, so nowadays it is almost wholly Azeri. The Soviets neglected to resolve the other territory under contention, Nagorno-Karabakh, which was also awarded to Azerbaijan and which following a bloody war and another round of extensive ethnic clensing is now under the control of a self-declared Armenian state.

I would like to announce the completion of Update One in my IAH: Age of Discovery! The spread has begun!

On a related note, how (if at all) do you plan on spreading IOT to other forums around the Internet?
