I'd love to see you resurrect "Nothing to Hide" and start again. Writing.com is fine. The problem wasn't with that site so much as your hasty decision to chuck it all in. People are used to going there and using it. There are thousands of members that can add their input already in place as well as those who follow you here and at ASN. All of the alternative places require some learning how to navigate or require pre-approval (delaying chapter additions which may or may not be a good thing.) I guess what I am saying is that so far there is no one perfect place as each of the alternatives mentioned have good and bad points. Writing.com is a known factor and people use it and there is steady traffic.
I for one would love to see you start the story again as if it were never published using the same premise and use your creativity to get it started and see where it goes. The best part of the original story was that you started story ideas and others rounded things out. The HUGE number of chapters tells me that you were doing something right.
If you DO decide to do this again you MUST make a mental decision that once you start the story will be out there forever. Hands off - leave it alone. No offense but if you can do that we all win. How about a nice Christmas present for us fans - announce you'll take up the story again.
