The ISCID (the international society for complexity, information and
design) seems to be defunct. I get error codes trying to use links to
the site and if you get anything it is text. ISCID.org doesn't seem to
work any longer and the links from the Wiki article do not work.

There was extensive overlap of ISCID fellows with the Discovery Insitute
fellows, but I guess ISCID has slid into oblivion.
It probably doesn't matter that it is gone since there have been no new
articles published in the societies journal since 2005. It is just that
you can't access the journal articles supporting a young earth or
Noahcian flood science any longer.
I went to the Discovery Institute and took a look. Sadly it looks like
Cascadia is defunct. No Cascadia updates since last year. Cascadia was
probably the only legitimate division (traffic control) that the
Discovery Institute had. The center on wealth, poverty and morality
doesn't seem to have any activity since 2012. The Discovery Institute
has a new division called Human Exceptionalism that seems to be just the
creationist denial that humans are animals. Humans are crafty animals,
but anyone that wants to deny that we are animals just has to hold their
breath, stop eating and drinking until it doesn't matter anymore. ID
perps Wells and West are the only two senior fellows of this division.
What should that tell even the average thinking human being let alone
exceptional ones?

ISCID gone (for practical purposes dead since Dover in 2005). No
activity at IDnet since 2007. Intelligent design science seems to be
expanding and progressing nicely just as the Discovery Institute's ID
perps keep claiming.;-)
The sad thing is that no progress in terms of starting a new creationist
political scam organization is going to be made until the ID perps are
forgotten. Ignorant rubes like Steady Eddie are making that impossible
at this time. Any new organization would likely have to prohibit any of
the current ID perps from joining. Otherwise it would be just like
letting guys like Thaxton and Kenyon with their obvious ties to the
scientific creationists that came before the ID perps tell the world
what kind of organization it is. Really, who would want anyone
associated with the intelligent design creationist bait and switch scam
associated with the next creationist scam? The ID perps did not run the
bait and switch on the science side, they ran the bait and switch on
their own creationist support base.
