I have been using NL seen last year, it is great but lack a lot of thing other forum has, which has let it retain it's speed, since it did not get better and we have gotten faster network.

Since a lot of people complains about NL and nothing is being done, I decided to start a fun project to make a forum for african not just Nigeria, on this forum you can create polls and share it with ur friends, you create jobs, create resume, blog e.t.c

Well, no amount word would explain it all until you check it out

Modified

The new changes as been push to a new server and I have gotten a domain name at africonn.com

http://www.africonn.com

This is no 'fun project'!
Keep the good work running...

Awesome.!

Center you footer content.... looks like you didnt test the website on desktop browser.

I developed it on my laptop, so I made sure that it is responsive on three different devices, and I don't get ur complain, the footer doesn't look good on desktop right? What else looks bad, what do u think would make it better?

What are you using for frontend

.

devdev:

What are you using for frontend

Server side rendering, jQuery

UnchainedAddict:
everything looks quite well except for the domain name , a domain name captures the main idea of a company , work on that....I could suggest 1 for you

I made a mistake of not buying the domain that I like and saw was available b4 I even started coding, but now it has been bought I am still thinking of the domain that will be best suited for the website, do suggest, I hope it is still available

Nice work

Abcruz:
Nice work

Thanks

So you don't have a styling sheet Anyways, work on your footer content. It's aligned to the left on desktop and centered on mobile device.

You still have lots of work to do. Like a over a million things that need to be done
Congrats on the taking the first step though, which is what matters.

This is nice.

please enlighten me, like what and what,
I would appreciate it if you could do that.

Hello bro, i have joined your forum and its quite nice. But I'll like to suggest that
a) add the stats of members and topics at the head.
B) get a more alluring name Like AfriHub, AfroCoast or better still any good one
c) get a graphics designer to get u a good flier and get good advertisers if you're really serious to add more members. Advertise on more forums and social networks
d) add the report button, like button, like button. Depending on space, u could add save button.
E) employ moderators that you could start with even if you're not paying them yet.
F) do good SEO and adverts.
G) ask for the date of birth of anybody registering and eachday celebrate the person
h) have a front page. Lets other sections move inside. You can deside to list all the hamlets on the frontpage.
I)let members know your moderators
j) while you're still growing, monetize your site. Might not necessarily be with adsense. Look for advert companies like links management and sign contracts with them to place adverts on certain places that won't disturb a user. You can also use seun's stile of advertisement.
WHILE I AM NOT A PROGRAMMER, I'LL LIKE TO BE INVOLVED IN THE DEVELOPMENT OF THE SITE.
But i like to understand.
A) what's a hamlet in ur website? Is it a section like politics in nairaland?
B) can topics be created inside the hamlets?

Nice work.
I'm working on something similar. Im using the MERN stack though.

i thought I have replied to this message before
a) the site stats is on everybody's profile, I think i am not building another NL that what NLs and it clones all have in common
b) I would like to go for sweeter domain name but most of the nice ones including the 2 up suggested are gone I chose africonn because the nn gives the illusion of m. so africom is short for africans community, and it is available.
c) I will advertise when I have the funds but right now, I am working on the design so as to reduce d bounce rate, it is not only about many people getting aware of the site, it is about usage, content and people won't stay if they don't like the site
d) I have implemented all of that myself along side a point system. maybe I will add badges in the future
e)any body who wants to moderate are all welcome
f) I have done on page SEO, sitemaps e.t.c, but I don't have much to pay for ads at the moment and my source of traffic as been NL
g) nice suggestions, I will add date of birth but I won't display it to the public, and their dob will only be shared with there followers
h) I have that already
I) ok, let me explain how the Hamlet works
Hamlet is like a small groups of people subscribe to a something e.g I can create an Hamlet for people who do cakes automatically I am d moderator of my group, In d future I will add the ability for a moderate to adds members of an Hamlet as a moderate. so thread can be created within the Hamlet and the public can comment to see new things from the Hamlet u have to become a member and u will see d new things on ur feeds. I chose Hamlet because of it's flexibility, I don't have to create new category on demand.

j) means of monetisation would be nice but we need to get users first

thanks for showing interest, u can chat me up on WhatsApp +2348142700835, and let discuss how u can help with d development of d site
