Is this community (this website especially) slowly dying? (Solved. Spoiler: Not at all)

Huh...I see them pop up in search results but always took it to be a yahoo answers style shitposting vibe

Many questions, and answers are like that. Especially the "normal" questions. People claim having hit their daughter and worrying about them going to the police and a lot of shit. 

But beyond that there are some interesting questions and answers about omorashi.

I'm not sure about the entire community since I don't frequent most of the sub-forums, but I feel like most of my favorite writers haven't been posting new stories for ages, and in 

I think  the key word here is favorite writers 

People run out of new ideas, be it fiction or my favorite genuine pee holding, drsperation ,and wetting.  I guess there are only so many unique ways of describing the experience.  Also real life gets in the way.

Also people's especially older  ( like me )members sex drive  and interests in pee declines and comes roaring back over time.

I have been on this site for over 10 years and most of my old favorite writers are gone. However, new members producing new outstanding content have filled the gap

I think Omorashi is alive and well and more vibrant than ever

I disagree as I have been at this for several years now and I probably have hundreds of ideas on my list involving different desperate situations including lots to go into the realm of speculative fiction. You would think that he is only so many ways you can have a story about a woman needing to pee and not finding a bathroom but you'd be surprised at how many there are. It's just that I don't have time to write all of them. But if I were only to write one omorashi story a week every week I think I would have enough to keep me busy for at least a good decade or two!

"Also people's especially older  ( like me )members sex drive  and interests in pee declines and comes roaring back over time."

For me this is the factor of why don't write more omorashi stories. Basically my general rule is I only write fetish stories when I am heavily in a fetish mood and can't concentrate on anything else. A fetish day will result in a short story, a fetish binge will result in a novella or a novel. But omorashi is only a small part of what I write.

I'm glad that I have lots of dedicated fans on places like this but I have to admit that I sort of hold my omorashi writing in lower her regard some of my more serious stuff, even though my fetish stuff seems more popular lol. But when I'm sitting down to write I'm thinking I have this great idea for a great story about aliens about mankind's destiny in the universe that could be a really epic story, but I'm feeling horny today so it's just going to be another story about a woman not getting to the bathroom! Again I like writing the stories but whenever I do a fetish story I feel like it is a little bit of self-indulgence that is taking me away from more serious things.

@DesperateJill Self indulgence is a fine reason to take a break from serious things. While I don’t contribute all that often, when I do it is usually to scratch an itch that has turned up in my Omo life or memories.

@DesperateJill 

You are the exception to the rule. You're any excellent writter with many stories. But most of  my favorite hot pee stories from when I joined are no longer such active participants. 

I am still here and contributing but not so many new pee stories. Initially I had many stories from my pee holding ex-wife.

I don't have as many untold stories of my own experiences. Like you said when I post the most I am horney.  As I said due to age my sex drive has unfortunately declined, as has my ability to hold my pee. I just can't hold it like I used to . I sometimes leak without enjoying the over full sensation. Sometimes I can still do it though.

I check the posts here every day except for when I'm sick or on those rare occasions when I am busy. However when I am on a fetish binge I am probably posting multi-thousand word essays and topic after topic after topic. And then sometimes just having my topics revitalized ends up putting me on a fetish binge when I wasn't actually on one. How active this board can be as a high factor in whether I will end up on a fetish binge. When nothing is happening here and nothing is happening in my own life to trigger it the urge stays dormant but then when it comes back it often comes back with a frightening vengeance to the point where I can't concentrate on anything else, so then I end up posting a tremendous amount and probably end up writing a novella. But again it totally goes in cycles where it sometimes can be basically all or nothing.

We have moved through different web analytics solutions over the years, and a lot of our old analytical data has been permanently lost to time (including all the old statistical data we had from Google Analytics), but here is some data I do have available,

 

Last 30 days from Cloudflare (we don't have access to data older than 30 days with them)

 

We stopped using Google Analytics a long time ago, and ad-blockers made those a lot less reliable over time anyways (Cloudflare is server-side metrics, not client-side tracking), so I don't have any core visitor statistics outside of the last 30 days. But I can say we have definitely been consistently growing in size and activity over the years, though the growth trend has maybe slowed a bit.

 

Here are some actual user activity metrics,

All member activity

Topic creations

 

Lastly, here's our registration statistics over the years. New registrations are hard to use as an accurate metric, however, as you can see points where we implemented stronger spam and bot protection, and will likely be revamping our anti-spam filters in the near future again, which will cause another drop. So, not a good metric to reference for a variety of reasons, but I'll include it anyways for those that are curious.

The activity metrics above should be a good point of reference, however, as we've always had manual moderation for new members since this site was created. Since the bots never get past approval queue, this essentially prevents almost 100% of automated spam that would be calculated as fake activity.

What are "requests" and "Bandwidth"?

No way to sort by IP? (of course dont share it here)

Requests are raw HTTP requests, it's just technical data.  Every page you visit makes multiple requests, for images and other assets, polling in the background for notifications, etc.

Bandwidth is how much data had been downloaded from OmoOrg in that time period. We process hundreds of terabytes worth of downloads every month. 

I don't know what you mean by sort by IP, but we can see what users consume the most bandwidth and such yes, but naturally that's private data we won't share.
