Clarification : NB is not dead, NB is stagnating

[Avani]

His thread and his reply to your post had nothing to do with Suggestion(not in OP intention) Suggesting something meaningful to NB and its community not in his agenda at all but to tells people about how NB falls into stagnation right now from his own perspective.

And his post about his addiction mainly circulated inside NB(NB related matter) and not real life like you think here. He never said NB effect his normal life but how he became addicted to NB site where it hard for him to leave this site for good and how to cure it.

Your post here bring nothing new nor solving his problem bcus you failed to understand his problem or objective of this thread. Maybe bcus you're new here.

I tell you in simple way. I will not entertain any comment that sound like an ignorant.

You misunderstood his post. You don't have to agree but it's not ignorant- he was referring to NB addiction only.

Sam said that people don't say that they are addicted to NB openly because it was considered shameful. But it's just what he thought. We know NB can be addictive. Even one of the rep messages declares this status. Any forum or internet activity can be addictive.

At the same time it's also true that many people get tired of one place after some time. It varies from a few months to few years but this too is a common phenomena. Nothing surprising about it.

While it's correct to say that we do not have manga day peaks like before "stagnation" is not the correct word since there have been many changes since. There are loads of reason that we get fewer new users- one is that NB forums has been removed from the direct google searches due to copyright strike for hosting manga - since 2012. We also suffered a sister site debacle that hurt the member base. Registrations were also closed for almost a year before the manga ended. But two years after the manga ended, we are still here. NB is still up and the admins and staff is still working on new changes, that we can offer to members. Yes, it's a relatively slow process because it's a hobby not a main job of any of us. So people work on it when they are done with their RLjobs/school/life etc.

That said I perfectly understand the view of OP too. I have been there. Anyone who has been active on NB or any other forum long enough knows the feeling. You will get bored if you keep doing same things and talking with same people all the time for months and years. One has to balance it out. Even in staff you will notice the ones who have been here longest - also need breaks time to time so that we do not burn ourselves here.

I simply replied to him bcus he said Sam is wasting his time and not bring in meaningful/useful suggestions or in simple words he want to say Sam's thread is meaningless or a waste. I disagree with that. :sdo:

And just bcus Sam's long ass post. I want to clear up the misconception.

Ah I wouldn't worry about that. Every single thread is useless to some people at least as it's just a subjective opinion. Rants threads get mixed responses as it is. Some people will find them redundant, other would like to add a few of their own.

Me rarely commenting on this site nowadays was one of the symptom.

This must be added to the OP.

As long as the RP is active, the site is alright.

After banning us countless times and closing every interesting thread???? :sdo: I remember when You guys used to delete every fun thread out there in 2011 - 2014 and banned us knowing we will come back :|, I guess it was those times when a farmer doesn't need loyal workers cause the land is bearing miracles. Today the base is like this and you coin it "as a matter of subjectivity"???? Are you guys for real? The manga ending caused this, but you guys also contributed a lot in damaging this site as "MODS".

Some times I am appalled when you close a thread because "it's controversial". It's like sending a cat to an already trapped mouse, we try to bring lively topics to this current state and you guys close it *sigh*... Controversy brings in more interest because it induces opinions on each visitor who will end up joining the base because he wants to voice his opinion on the so called controversial threads.

That's what brought most of here in the first place, 2010 we were just here to download and get out, but some theories and "trolls" and "controversial" threads brought us into signing up.

Okay lets wrap up this quickly with a short note.
@Ansatsuken: Thank you

Spoiler

@Sam : I'm sorry to have not read your addiction post or your thread. I hate reading wall of texts man. I failed to understand your situation. As a punishment I'm gonna post 100 sorry's in your profile. Hope you accept my apologies

So you're saying that we striving to have a forum without trolls, flaming, bashing, cursing, etc where everyone is welcomed actually drove members away? You're telling me people only logged in for the flames and trolling? >_>


Riiiigggggghhhhtttttttt.... Blame us. I mean, its not like we aren't to blame for everything else as well since the creation of NB anyway. Lol

I'm telling the truth about me...
After final manga of Naruto I stopped visiting NB. Visiting the site reduced.
But few days ago, I started watching Naruto over again.. and I started missing NB... So I took my time and visited to see how everyone is doing.. But couldn't find those glory days again U_U

Sorry about my English

Hope you're doing fine too

And here comes another rant. Why are you quoting me even? You should know how blunt I can be when it comes to silly complaints thrown my way. If you got banned it means you were unable to follow the simple forum rules. Out of thousands of members only a few dozens of members( and their alts) get banned repeatedly or permanently. So obviously rest of the people know how to avoid that.

Members may help in making forums but they don't own it. They are guests. They come and go. And will be quick to leave when they have their fill at one place. Admins who make the site and put active and direct efforts and provide the forum have their own goals and ideas what they want to do with it and what direction they want to take it to.

So yeah if you cannot fit in and wish to do whatever you want without any restriction, you are likely to get disappointed. Remember a site is also rated on the basis of it's content. Trashy silly content and rowdy behaviour will bring it down. It's better to have fewer user than letting it run by trolls.
