There is a group I belong to hose moderator hasnt logged in, in 12 years. The admins so far have not seen fit to assign me as mod.There 1/2 million accounts. There are ~30,000 users that have logged in within the last year, 1/2 of which will never log in a second time. The reality is there are maybe 10,000-15,000 semi-active accounts and really only about 5,000 truly active accounts.John aka cobeachbum
Many NINOs (nudist in name only) on the site. I am sure they will all react to thisAssuming your figures are accurate John, I wonder how many of the 5000 active users are nudists, and by that I mean have experience of real world nudism. I read many posts from members who claim to be active social nudists but their post seem more based in fantasy than fact.

I belong to groups elsewhere with less than 1000 total members which manage to maintain a regular flow of 'conversation'

So, the "dead internet theory" is the theory of the web traffic of the majority of the internet being given by bots. This is a theory about the alleged decline in the overall total sum of global internet traffic.The causes are the decline of the human population in the highly internet-penetrated areas and the rise of cyber crime in emergent economies and developing nations overall. Additionally, warfare globally, even inside least developing nations might mostly become cyber crime and attacks on civilian internet infrastructure in warzones. This is what will create the majority of the internet's "Bad Web Bots" That will commit cyber-crime and cyber warfare.
Because I know the premises of the dead internet theory and other aspects of internet security issues, I try to keep a somewhat lower profile online. I try to be careful about what information I post on here.
Based on what I think is going on, from reading posts from other users on this website's forum, it looks like the dead internet theory is manifesting itself in a more specialized specific interest social media site, which is this social media site for nudists or naturists.
Because there are fewer nudists/naturism followers in the world, this site always has been smaller than facebook, google, yahoo, flickr, etc. Based on what I have seen, this site apparently has one or two owners of the parent company, and it is employing only a handful of people full time, so everyone moderating the website is either volunteering or part time moderator, or the other people on the website actively are just users/customers of the website and have no monetary involvement.
From what I understand this website is run by a for profiit Limited Liability Corp in Arizona or out west in the USA.
And from what I also have heard from HomeClothesFree is that the website is custom built, so it really breaks easily and no one fixes it perfectly and can barely get updated.
And from what I hear now is that the site has nobody using it compared to facebook google yahoo flickr etc. So now it really is just a declining site.
So from all of that, of course web bots are going to take over this particular website because it is sitting duck. Its origins are unclear, but I know where this site really might be going if it does not get revamped or something. I really want to be able to hope someone can take care of it but I really know the Immensely real and troubling possibilities of the loss of this site. I really don't want to lose data here, so I really hope I can use the site wisely with the remainder time on the site now and further in the future.
Some nights I don't go asleep at the same time every single night, so I wrote this at this time while I was awake.
Just some information about the state of the internet with some other thoughts of mine.
Have a good day.
Long story short, never give your credit card info over the internet just because someone asks you for it.
Always consider the source of each message, and verify their claims with external or independent sources, and report a message or an account if it seems too demanding or too invasive.
This site stopped being about nudism, "true nudism", a long time ago. I may have been guilty of adding to the uptick in some of the increase in members with all the pics I uploaded. I was trying to get others and members of our groups to join in and post pics of themselves enjoying nudism. It became a daily job of screening out the countless TN members that were obviously here to see pictures. Many, many of them promised to be active and contribute to discussions but never did. They visited the group gallery plenty but never added a single sentence to any discussion.
When the TT's established new policies to limit picture viewing to those that paid for membership, it was obvious where the draw to join was. Then the TT's all but abandoned TN and almost never, if ever, visit and take care of things. They left this site to a group of "moderators" that decided that the policies and rules in place didn't apply to them, nor did they have to follow said policies and rules. They kinda made up their own under their own philosophies of what "they" deemed true nudist/nudism.
It's one of many reasons I've decided to cut WAY BACK on time here. Currently, I have just a few friends I've continued to communicate with here and I'm here mainly to send messages back and forth to stay in contact.
The numbers came is only for the TT's to establish a membership base when it's time to sell. If someone buys TN, the more numbers of members, equals more money to be made with limited access unless you pay. I made the mistake of becoming a Lifetime member. I figure I got my $100 worth out of the site by the friends I've made but I wouldn't do it again. These NINO, includes the TT's. This became nothing more than a way to make money off of naked people. It was never about the lifestyle or the cause or community, it was about selling nakedness and their absence is proof.
What about a moderator who starts a private group and then disappears for weeks at a time? The group stays stagnant while the moderator is away because he doesn't appoint another moderator to fill in while he's out doing whatever.
Andy ... I must ask a question after being blocked & removed from your groups as you post this comment, "Many, many of them promised to be active and contribute to discussions but never did. They visited the group gallery plenty but never added a single sentence to any discussion." I was probably the most active poster in your groups after yourself and you booted & blocked me. I'm just curious as to why? Please peruse my 1000+ real comments & let me know if you see anything inappropriate. I will promptly review & remove as needed.
But to further the real point, I too am saddened by the current state of the site. It really needs to be cleaned up.

This has happened many, many times and the only way to resolve the issue is to try and contact TT2. Request that you take over the group, become the group's moderator but have some info on the current mod and how long they've been away from the group or logged onto the site. I took over several like that but as I said, I don't think you're going to have much luck contacting TT2.
