I haven't visited the forums much, so I actually didn't notice them going down and then back up again earlier this year. But it looks like during that change, or some time since then, the New World series of articles disappeared. Have they migrated to a thread like the Function articles before them (and it's just one I can't find)?

I found them really useful for worldbuilding my own settings, particularly the one on geography. ("Elevation determines everything" etc.)
