This site is dying.

I used to give my best effort to counter trolls and troublemakers. But there's no point anymore. This site is fucked. It's irreparably damaged, it's terminally ill. Day by day, this site turns shitier and shitier. The mods are incompetent, they don't take the necessary action because they don't give a shit. They allow trolls to butcher their own website. If they don’t give a shit, why should we? 1/2 of every post deleted? Fuck this. I'm out of here, I suggest you'all follow suit.

    It is official; Netcraft confirms it: IIN is dying

    One more crippling bombshell hit the already beleaguered IIN community when StatCounter confirmed that IIN reader share has dropped yet again, now down to less than a fraction of 1 percent of its former traffic level. Coming on the heels of a recent Netcraft survey which plainly states that IIN has lost more market share, this news serves to reinforce what we've known all along. IIN is collapsing in complete disarray, as fittingly exemplified by failing dead last in the recent Alexa comprehensive networking test.

    You don't need to be a Kreskin to predict IIN's future. The hand writing is on the wall: IIN faces a bleak future. In fact there won't be any future at all for IIN because IIN is dying. Things are looking very bad for IIN. As many of us are already aware, IIN continues to lose reader share. Red ink flows like a river of blood.

    Lead commenter thegypsysailor is the most endangered of them all, having lost 93% of his core readers. The sudden and unpleasant departures of long time IIN commenters bugsforbreakfast and the OP above only serve to underscore the point more clearly. There can no longer be any doubt: IIN is dying.

    Let's keep to the facts and look at the numbers.

    IIN leader Udi states that there are 7000 weekly readers of IIN. How many readers of thegypsysailor are there? Let's see. The number of IIN versus thegypsysailor posts on Usenet is roughly in ratio of 5 to 1. Therefore there are about 7000/5 = 1400 readers of thegypsysailor. charli.m posts on Usenet are about half of the volume of thegypsysailor posts. Therefore there are about 700 readers per week of charli.m. A recent article put readers of LittleGirlRapedAndSodomized at about 80 percent of the IIN readership. Therefore there are (7000+1400+700)*4 = 36400 monthly visitors to IIN. This is consistent with the number of IIN Usenet posts.

    Due to the troubles of trolling, abysmal moderating and so on, IIN went into a tailspin and was taken over by WebAnswers who sell another troubled website. Now WebAnswers is also dead, its corpse turned over to yet another charnel house.

    All major surveys show that IIN has steadily declined in reader share. IIN is very sick and its long term survival prospects are very dim. If IIN is to survive at all it will be among website dilettante dabblers. IIN continues to decay. Nothing short of a cockeyed miracle could save IIN from its fate at this point in time. For all practical purposes, IIN is dead.

    Fact: IIN is dying

      to put it simply just remove the option to remove a post immediately. instead have moderators approve the post before deleting. Also, where is RamenNoodleMaster on that list?

    It's always had its ebbs and flows but it seems as though it's totally drying out. Pshaw.

    This website never had much users as obvious from old and new stories because of no advertisement and 404 errors.

    Momma always said, credibility is as credibility does...

    Anything I've posted is truth, and any answer I've given is legitimate to the best of my knowledge.
    Anonymity is not a licence to be a douche.

    You're either a douche or not a douche, it has nothing to do with mods and everything to do with insecurity.

        It is an issue but, there's nothing I can do about it. I like this site but if it disappears I'll just have to be snarky somewhere else.

          I agree, but i think the INN community needs to rally around getting this issue solved quickly before giving up. its not a bad idea to save posts in a word document before posting them, and then reposing them if they are deleted. the person reporting will eventually get tired of all the nonsense and give up, or get major carpel tunnel, either or.

            One of mine disappeared came back, then disappeared again...
            Sure that's a good idea if it will help, I'd do it.

    There are always going to be those people that want to whine that everything is falling apart and the end is coming.

  • Who cares. Also people who are targeted by trolls are targeted because they whine about it which only feeds the troll. There is a lot of troll feed here which only encourages loser trolls who dedicate their free time to trolling the internet because they failed at real life.

    There is only one mod and she isn't worth a shit.

    I don't want to say i agree. I genuinely enjoy this site. Its very creative and bursting with potential. Its much better than Yahoo answers even taking into account some of the trolls. Buts yes, the idiots who are deleting posts at the same rate rabbits breed can ruin the entire site. I myself have had 4 POSTS deleted for no good reason. One of which even bringing the issue of post deletion to light. It wouldn't surprise me at all if this post itself was deleted by the same person. I wonder if its just one jerk with nothing better to do, or if its a group of them doing it for fun. For some reason it feels as though the first is more probable. The moderators need immediate reformation, they are not doing a good job keeping this site unusable.

    You do all realise that trolling is becoming 'common' right?

    You're the norm now.

    As is the US Economy and China will soon rise up to take over that, the world and soon the internet since they are communist. Trump and Berny can not save anyone, we are all screwed. Humanity will not make it out! Say good bye!

      Howdy hey there, Stevie. Please don't leave. You are our voice of inspiration, even though you have shitty leadership skills. The trolls, scumballs, and perverts are easy to tolerate when a voice of intelligence shines like a beacon in the night.

      Btw, be sure to blast that .44 magnum of yours every now and then. Pistol shooting helps to calm sexual insecurities. It's like post orgasmic bliss without any vaginal bacteria.
