Nairaland's Journey To 1 Million Members by mukina2: 2:29pm On Jan 18, 2013 |
Hello Nairalanders as we get over a million members, we want to thank everyone that has been a member, a guest, and everyone who contributed to the growth of the forum. When Nairaland started in march 2005, it was a brain child of Seun, and was from mobilenigeria.com his first ever project. He was the sole moderator/admin, slowly the forum started growing, there were few members but the forum was active. In 2006, was when the forum grew even bigger, most people, more fights , more trolls,and you had the cliques, sports/romance derailers union but seun tried all he could to keep it balanced and under control, then he was the great obantalapipipi. ,( obey the rules otherwise . .) most sections came to life, then Business, Job/vacancies, sports, romance and forum games where the 'happening' boards. Then a popular lady Papermoon faked her death, used another id to tell nairalanders 'she' died, people started mourning, changed signatures/locations etc,the thread grew only for her to come and post that she was just joking, people got angry, insults,missiles,bombs flew left right and centre, the drama got so bad that Seun had to introduce a new rule, 'It is a grievous offence to announce the death of a Nairaland member on the forum without the admin's explicit approval' Papermoon's saga was the reason behind this rule. Another popular lady posted a picture she lifted off google as a picture of her kitchen, some 'detectives' on nairaland found out it was fake and they had a field day. class of 2006 rocked! In December 2007, spammers/scammers became so much that seun had to lock the forum, forum members helped to fish out the scammers/spammers, the ones they got, were banned and the forum was back on course. In 2008 we had the first set of 5 mods, Mukina2, Iice, FOD, Sam Milla and USPRY1. the forum got new active members, some oldies still stayed and some sections grew more. In 2009, more moderators, new sub boards, new members and the politics section became very active, it was purely debates and legit arguments.A Popular Nairalander Jarus started forum awards. 2010 the forum became 5 years old, more moderators, more activity, more trolls , more guests (we appreciate them) more users.We also lost a member Bawomolo. 2011 and 2012 our traffic improved quite well, we crossed some milestones on google, we reclaimed our top spot in Nigeria/Africa . we also lost Perx This year the forum will be 8 years old and we crossed over a million members 20 Likes |

Do you mean "1 million" REAL members or inflated numbers, which? Everyone knows that an average NL has about 3 usernames excluding me of course, some have not been active over that past 18months or more, some have even requested to have their account deleted, and you say "journey to 1 million users"? Well time for evaluation because yall ain't telling yourselves the truth. In truthfulness, you know NL is 1/3rd its original member size. Anyways, congratulations on the milestone... 9 Likes |

@Post Congratulations Seun and Moderators and more grease to your elbows. Let me use this opportunity to please request for a PET SECTION where pet owners/animal enthusiasts can meet and discuss proper pet ownership. Dog breeders can also post their listings of current puppy litters available and any cute stories pertaining to animals can be posted in this section as well instead of the general nairaland section. Please Seun and moderators, think about it and make that your anniversary gift to we your loyal forum members. Thank you. 5 Likes |
