goofyone: Hi Forte!

You know, I was very astonished when I read the news that Linda Ikeji bought a 24m car. Now, that' some news!
Of course, we all know the cost is not up to 24m. Maybe 20m, maybe 21m. I don't know.

But the point of this writing is not to discuss the cost of Linda's car. It is to point out that Nairaland is failing to achieve its own potentials. Can the Nairaland guy boast of this much? If you look at the cost of advertising on Nairaland, it's hard to put this at par with the cost of advertising on Linda Ikeji's blog. Maybe I'm wrong. But I think quite a lot of people also hold this opinion.

Can this Nairaland guy do better? Is there something he's doing wrongly?

Oops, perchance, you haven't seen the counter thread?
I mean there's been scores of topics created on this issue of Nairaland not living up to it's potential etc.

imo I believe the admin is not daft.
I believe he knows what he needs to do overnight to increase the flow of traffic to this website.
But then.

When I think of it, he prolly has his reasons.
He might not be interested in the money as much as he is interested in the quality of people who visit the the site, more like adding more value (quality), instead of people (quantity).
I think he considers NL a baby or a child of sorts, that he wants to slowly and tenderly nurture.

Besides, who knows!
He just might be making as much or more even.
Someone compared Linda to Mark Zuckerberg and compared Him to Sergei (hope I spelt that right) and Larry.
We know Google makes more money, but FB is always on the news, especially in social circles.

Besides, that topic on Linda being richer than him hit FP.
People were lamenting and blaming the owner for allowing his mods allow such remain on FP

I mean! its bad market naw.
But when I think of it, I find that he's actually trying to send a message to the world which could be either of:

She's richer, so?
or
I don't blame you guys, it's because I don't live my life on the front page of dailies and blogs, how could she possibly be richer than me?

That said
It is what it is.


Did I just write all that, for someone who doesn't even know I exist? Chi-zos!!!!

goofyone:

Hehe..Mizmycoli, you are just one in a million!

But then, if he was so rich, don't you think he would be so generous to pay his moderators? I think I read somewhere they all work for him for free.
Even Reddit, which is just as much a forum as Nairaland, pays its moderators.

Thanks jorey!
I get tired of myself now and then @the way I defend people, even when they don't know me and vice versa.
Blame on this natural PR skill



Errr Arh Arhmm *clears throat* *coughs*

Iyen gidi gan
I'm sure he has his reasons too.
Just not sure how concrete that might be.

chibwike: i wud spend my evening here, Mizmycoli hope am welcomed

Please feel free.
You are highly welcome.

So, what d'ya gat to chip in @CurrentTopic as raised by goofyone

@Xcapist, you're sighted Goodevening.

goofyone:

And perhaps I should add that these moderators do a job that is not incomparable to a bank job or an IT job in a ICT firm or any other regular job you can think about.

Well, in that case. Paying a stipend shouldn't be a bad idea, I think .

Besides, there's got to be something in it for them, other than financial gain, more like a kick, y'know

There has to be perks attached to being a mod on NL!

chibwike: wats d topic about

Xcapist: Sergey Brin. @Miz

Oh! Thanks for that.

goofyone:
Was so nice reading this...I laughed at some point. Lewis is a fantastic driver, never mind it's just unusual he only speaks English. Many other F1 drivers speak more than one language. The fact that Lewis doesn't speak Italian or German is one thing not going for him.
What sports do you have interests in?

Well, if you think I'm awesome that's just great. I like your interests, though. I used to think it was weird to not love PES & FIFA. Nice to have company here. I can play FIFA, and easily beat many of those who thump their chests. You see, when you know how to play video games, you are guided more by instinct and intuition. Playing PES will be so easy, you won't even know how you learnt it in the first place.
I have played Max Payne on PC. But I didn't get far at all. I just didn't fall in love with it and its drama. San Andreas is just great. Vice City is the bomb! I'll always love GTA. Assasin's Creed I'm playing on PS Vita. I haven't gone far on that one as well.

And I am indeed interested in the occult and in astrophysics. I used to be (and still am kinda) crazy about astrophysics. What didn't I read? Relativity? Quantum mechanics? The Big Bang Theory? Expanding Universe? Steady State Model? I read everything. At some point I started fantasizing about making a huge discovery that'll make "America know" and probably come for me sef. lol. Wild dream.
It was fun though. I got all my books in second hand book stores. Didn't even use the internet then. I would abandon my school notes (they never really posed any problems anyways) and just go along with reading dusty books that disturb my nose, dusty books I got off the streets at second hand bookshops. Was great!

Meanwhile, what's the idea behind your username, Xcapist? just curious

Why didn't I mention Hitman!? I finished Absolution already. Very nice game, with a lot of variety to it.

AirborneLacer: What do we do in this space?

Drop epistles?

Xcapist:

Abeg no mind us jare.

AirborneLacer:

No qualms mate.

Seeing you're a footie fan, I was going to invite you over for us to see a game this weekend.

But I'm just scared, I'm scared your presence might set the pub's long serving decoder ablaze

Xcapist:

Abeg no mind us jare. Just scroll pass. MizMy Coli, hope we have your permission?

Like totally, yeah!

I enjoy watching you guys converse

Xcapist:

Lwkmd! Abi?

AirborneLacer:

Not really my assertion.

Just using your confession against you

You play football?

Xcapist:

Touché.

Use to, not anymore.

AirborneLacer:

Who didn't?

Even the folks who were heavenly horrendous at kicking the round leather game back then would today present a claim like this ''I used to be better than Messi - Education is the way Jare''

Well, I'm still very much active in the game - not a pro though.

My favourite activity has got to be manning the centre-back position

Why do I keep having this feelings that you were a goalie?

Xcapist:

Lol. Believe me when I tell that I was better than Messi. *laughs at own joke* Coincidentally, I also played central defence

AirborneLacer:

Hehe

I dread pacey forwards and the buffy ones too - doesn't necessarily mean I occassionally get run ragged by them

I'm 2inches shy of 6ft, so I'm not really the best in aerial duels but I try to give my best.

No def has got the kinda foot-work I possess, used to be a winger actually untill I got shoe-horned into the back-line. I'm also great with tackles and interceptions

Oya analyse your flaws & strengths.

DAvIt0:

All this ticker you and Mr. xcapist are ranting bout --> "Story for the gods"

It's not you guys turf anymore... So Keep Calm and Watch Messi/Suarez/Ronaldo and Learn, or try rekindling the spirit.

AirborneLacer:

Pfft!

Don't mistake me for a pot-bellied 'once-upon-a-time' soccer player who's living in past glories

I'm still very young to delve into football and make the best outta it If I wish.

I settled for something else - Priorities change.

MizMyColi:
LoL

Reading your posts make me laugh.
Good Morning all, Happy weekend

@Xcapist, I couldn't fault zilch in your post, save for the interface part.
I think it's MB friendly, but then, there's room for improvement.
