The site needs fresh blood

He was a moderator assistant correct? So he was still a member of the team. That's some doublespeak if I have ever seen it.

I do agree with OPs response. This site has become dry recently and I feel NNN would be a great time to bring it back to relevancy.

 

As @UnholyConfessor mentioned thank you for responding. Hopefully our questions will get answered after you discuss with the moderation team.

And as both he and @EmperorLaStrang said, @One Eyed Owl had the title mod assistant up until his post was removed from this thread, I believe i've seen him approve profile pictures in the past. Not sure why there was a need to push him out like that, nor delete his post. Quite strange.

 

<insert everything that everyone said about being simultaneously happy about a response from a moderator & confused about OEO's status>

 

I hate to say it but it may have to become a mandatory subscriber site. That way they could pay people to run it.

 

I'll use this thread as a chance to get started on commenting as I recently revived my account. Just a few mere weeks ago when I started lurking on this site again, I did find myself commenting how few new threads there are. I really hope the site manages to continue kicking down the line as fresh threads would be the reason to keep using the site. Digressing a bit - the reason I personally took my leave for a while after registering was the somber ambient on this site - it feels very grievous to sort through these threads, and while it does help to know you're not alone in this struggle, it felt emotionally overwhelming. Nothing to do about it I suppose, just the nature of fighting off a common misery.

Not that this would be a sufficient reason for the forum to have tumbleweeds rolling around, just could be a contributing factor to the reclusivity.

 

I'm pleased to see this is being brought up, and discussed in a positive manner by all.

I've mentioned in a few of the challenges in the 'Events & Challenges' section how quiet it's been getting, and with no new registered users, that section is dying too. As others have mentioned, when current users drop out for a break, or don't come back for a while, we rely on new users to come in and keep things going. Now we have people leaving for a break to reset, but no new users to fill the void, resulting in a quieter forum overall. This could possibly alienate current users, who may feel like no one's listening to them, or that whoever is listening and responding, will just disappear too.

It looks like 12 new users have been allowed on today, so hopefully, all of them will start to become active, and more new users are allowed on, just in time for No Nut November.

Honestly, the layout of the site, the ease in which it is to post, is what makes it superior to all other No PMO sites out there. Reddit gets an awful lot of attention, but this site is what attracts people first. It's easy to read too, and such a vital source of information and testimonies on various things from people down the years.

A mandatory subscriber site would probably push people to places like Reddit, Reboot Nation, etc. I think it would kill off the place for good.

Maybe a message to all users in their inbox about the future direction of the site, or answers to questions raised would be helpful, so that no one misses out on what's said or decided. Maybe a reassurance message that this place will still be around in the future, and a rallying call for users with accounts to come back and start posting.

Just some thoughts.

 

Who is the team manager? The manager for many years does not seem to be listed among the staff so has he left? Who is taking the lead?

 

I ask again, who is the NoFap manager?

 

Clearly the important question that needed to be answered was establishing the hierarchy of "moderator" vs "moderator assistant" and discrediting any work or contribution that member has done throughout the years, answering the rest is secondary, tertiary or even unnecessary .

 

It could be under attack. They want everyone Coomers.

 

Well here I am !

Fresh Blood like you desired.
