By no means has our fire for NU burned out, it's just not very active on smogon ;)
iirc, PO was much more accommodating to us with NU bans, and general presence of a NU tier. hence us "Project NU folks" have kinda taken up residence on the PO main server.
a bit of a difference in the lower tiers between here and there, but that's fine with me ^_^
