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.
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.
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.
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.
The problem here is that the group is totally private and I'm not welcome in the group at all. The group consists of only men, no women. but according to the "about" I qualify to be a member. He's also blocked me so I can't see his profile or send him any messages. He has a habit of doing that without saying a word. And why did he block me? I caught him in a lie and fussed at him. He doesn't like being "caught". He says it's "too much drama". The same guy has had groups on Kik before and left both of those. He closed one because he said "everyone left". And he left the second one in the lurch. Now he's got the new one here on TN and he's doing the same thing. Hasn't posted anything new in 3 weeks, and probably didn't tell anyone he was going or when he'd be back. The group is stagnant because evidently he's the only one that can approve new members and posts.
Andy thank you for the reply. I will unabashedly admit that several of my posts in the *Conservative* forum are pretty much direct. I will concede that point as it was made with that audience in mind. Perhaps I could have been a little more subtle and I thank you for that. And if I crossed into meanness, please excuse me as that was not my intent. However, if you disagreed with me, send me a note and maybe we could have a rational discussion about differences & views and all move forward. I*m game for it.
Oops please excuse my quick left turn, followed by a yield and hopefully a full stop for all the others reading. I*ll try harder to stay the original subject post next time. We return now to our original programming.
