Hey guys, what was your first impression of Nairaland when you joined? Whether it be back when you are considered an "old gay" or even a newer member who only knows what the website is considered as of now.





Also, what is the reason you stayed on this website instead of leaving? What made you who you are today here on NL.





My impression:I joined a couple years ago and I was fascinated by the forum itself. I was actually really inactive when I first joined and I considered myself as a lurker.





I thought the website itself was really well put together and was one of the first forums I had considered myself apart of. A couple months went by and I frequently started posting more and more and I became pretty active. I'm not really known well but I sure do visit this site everyday.





That is the reason I have racked months on this site, and holy shit I think that is a lot for a forum I thought I'd never be as active on.

i camr to NL to find mtn, airtel, glo, etis cheats.... bt i gradually, i discoeved the craziness on NL

My first impression was way back in 2005 a few months after my first internet experience. I didn't know what to make of it. Heck didn't even think much of Facebook. All I needed the net for was to follow some tv shows and comics.

FF to around 2009 when I was doing some research on language use, a result directed me to NL. I saw a mixture of clever comments and the just plain silly ones. The silliness of some of those comments must have really affected me then cos I completely forgot about NL until my kid bro told me about it, I remembered my previous encounters.


They're more clever people around here. But 'sadly' we've got a whole lot more silly people (by default and by choice) here!
