Why is It that whenever people post topics, both relevant(which I think should be front page worthy) and irrelevant, they end it with mynd44 and lalasticlala??

I only agree if the message would benefit the public, then it should be front page worthy. Why not let the moderators do their jobs instead of calling them everytime.
What kind of self gratification could one possibly gets from being on the front page?

Many people act like nairaland is one big family. No its not. I wanna know if being on the front page get you paid? Please tell me.

It's because nairaland is really unpredictable...
Sometimes you would see a not so meaningful thread reaching the front page without many comments...
othertimes, you would see a very meaningful thread with many pages still languishing in a particular section...

So that's why everyone invokes lalasticlala and Mynd44, just in case you may be lucky...
