As a part of its privacy policy, NoBleme will protect your anonymity as much as possible. This means that you will never be sent any emails that could be used to link you to your identity on the website, or asking you to provide your password. On top of that, automated password recovery systems can be used in a few nefarious ways that we would rather not have to deal with. With this context in mind, NoBleme decided to not implement an automated account recovery process.
If you have lost access to your account (forgotten username, forgotten password, or otherwise), the only way to recover that access is to go on NoBleme's NoBleme's IRC chat server and ask for a website administrator to manually reset your account's password. No need to worry about identity usurpation, there is a strict process in place that will allow the administrator to verify your identity before doing the resetting.
NoBleme has been around for two decades.
Here we are, my baby's in his twenties. I'm not getting any younger.
The only thing keeping NoBleme alive is the community's bonds of friendship. I see no reason to take the website down or tear apart the community, so here's to another decade of being around in the background of the Internet.
NoBleme has been around longer than Reddit, Twitter, Spotify, Instagram, Tumblr, Pinterest, WhatsApp, Dailymotion, and so many more. Isn't that cool to think about?
Alas, I didn't have much time to invest in the website or the community during the past two years. I decided to quit my full time job to bet on myself and my own projects, and that requires placing my priorities elsewhere.
With how things are currently going, I could see myself returning to working on NoBleme around the end of 2025, or in early 2026. There's a lot I want to do on the website, especially in the Compendium, which is a major passion project of mine to which I want to get back to as soon as I can.
Astute minds will notice I used NoBleme's source code as a base for Future Invaders' website. In the process, I've done a lot of invisible work to NoBleme's internals: improving the quality of the code, improving the performances of the website, and adding a test suite which makes it less likely to break everything when I add or modify website features.
This means, whenever I get back to working on NoBleme, it'll be much easier than before to add new content. But I'm looking in the opposite direction: before anything new is added, some bloat needs to be removed. Using all the website usage data I've gathered for the past 20 years, a good start would be to chop all the pages that are barely being used.
Once that's done… there's actually a lot of things I want to add to the website. Some more useful than others. We'll see about that in the future.
I wonder what NoBleme will look like in ten years. Who knows.
