What's So Special About Making Nairaland's Front Page?! by shorxynla(m): 7:32pm On Dec 28, 2013
Have been wondering since. What's so special about making it to the front page of Nairaland.

Have got some of my post on the front page recently and I didn't have any special reaction or feelings.

But there are some dudes that are extremely happy seen their post on Frontpage.


Please share your views, what's special about Nairaland front page.

Just a feeling. But what I don't like is how some people throw insults at admin just because there topic ain't pushed to the fp, as if there's a special award for it.

Means you're intelligent to have posted something beneficial for human consumption.

Ultimately, it shows you are not one of the:

This OP is a liar.
You mean you werent happy or had some kind of smile in your face when your topic hit the front page. If you dont like front page me like it, and please always inform the mods not to move any of your topics to front page, let the thread of those that like front page be move to it, thank you for your understanding.

Not all joor. With the high rate of ridiculous topics that makes front page these days. Don't commit fallacy of hasty generalization abeg. 'Smart phones are demonic'. grin grin
Re: What's So Special About Making Nairaland's Front Page?! by psky: 9:44pm On Dec 28, 2013
Op imagine you are a music artist. Creating a topic on nairaland is like releasing a single, you really don't know what's going to happen, how the public will react to it. You are taking a huge risk, it's either going to be a flop or a success. You are anxious, nervous, waiting for the first few people to comment.

Having your topic reach two, three or four pages is like having your single being downloaded by a whole lot of your fans. Yeah, you feel great, it might not be frontpage, but it's a success.

But then having your topic reach frontpage is like having it being in the billboard hot 100 charts. You feel great, awesome, your product is being appreciated by a wide range of people, it's not being restricted to a section. It's being picked out of dozens of threads to be featured on the golden frontpage, and now to be viewed by thousands of people.
That's what makes it so special.
cool

However remember that like in the music industry there are also levels in nairaland. There are those who have created 83 threads but only have one or two, and some none on frontpage. Those are the one hit wonders of nairaland. And then there are those who make frontpage when they feel like, and that means every other day, the rihannas of nairaland. To be like them you would have to be talented in the art of frontpaging, and that means you would have to understand nairaland politics and use it to your best advantage, as much as you would have to create intelligent threads centered on what the average Nigerian could relate to.

I hope my analogy has been helpful? grin

To some bloggers who post celebrities ish, trends, whatever with 'source' to back their post, making front page is no big deal. But, to some who create random threads and then by miracle, one hits frontpage, Geez! That's like the 9th wonder of the world.
