Travel section will definitely be dry for people like you judging by your past record here.

The whole NL is dry. . . no different from the Travel Section.
Take heart.

Even though the author is a budding scammer (don't deny this. . we have receipts). He has a point, travel section is now boring - I'm attributing this to Justwise who has cleaned up the place from scammers and given Nigerians some sense.

What made the travel section lively was drama and people's tales of being scammed woes. But I'd take a scam free travel section over the lively one back in 2009/2010 when every other topic was a scam/someone being scammed.

Knowing where the poster is coming from, i do understand what he was trying to express, and i also do understand why Justwise jumps in.
  To be honest, if you compare this section to that of "Politics" etc, you'd be forced to accept that this section could be really dry, observing that there are times when less than 15 threads receive comments in a whole day. But yet, that is nobody's fault, it has all got to do with interests: Know that (though Nigerians are well renown for travel,) but most people don't like spending their time writing about travel like they do when it comes to politics or businesses (making money). And the fact that scammers are being repelled is also making it dry

You can't compare Travel Section to 'Politics' section, politics section will always be busy as it deals with current affairs and there is no short of bad/good news on daily bases to make the front page. Issues in politics section touches almost every area of our lives hence everybody has an opinion.

People who visits travel section comes for travel related issues only, take a look at UK/Canadian or US student thread, it gets busier during admission seasons or summer time and after the visa is secured they may not come back here again in a yr or two until they have another visa issue.

Its not fair to allow people to use this Travel Section as their scam base, defraud Nigerians and laugh to the bank while we read and laugh.

The absents of scammers can only be bad news to a very few people here, if that makes the travel section dry then i make no apologies for that.

   The above highlighted line is not intended to encourage scam activities in this section, but rather to explain a factor that contributed to the section being the way it is.
   In the past, there used to to be more scammers than genuine users, they took advantage of the freedom to set their traps in multiple posts (even with multiple ids), but since they have been subdued and their attempts are being voided, they have now given up and deserted the section, hence it now seems dry. With this, i still give credit to you.

   I agree with you in almost everything, except that i am of the opinion that the number of people who used this section to try their scam trade were about the same as the number of genuine users; therefore, i am of the opinion that the absence of Scammers does not just affect a "very few people", but a whole bunch of these criminals

@ Bolded part: Hmnnn that is good, I hope you know the meaning of scammer sha?
If you don't know maybe you should go dig it up!


@Vicjustice, yeah you seems to understand what I mean by starting this thread.
It's unlike the way it used to be before, instead of justwise to simply be happy
that he has done some 'good' so to say, he is saying other stuffs,

Aal Izz Well
Re: Dry Travel Section! by chika98: 3:45pm On Dec 27, 2011
Yup! The travel section used to be one of my favorite places to read up on. People talking about their recent travels and much more. These days it seems folks only pop 'round for "visa" advice. Anyway a lot of sensible people have moved on from Nairaland to that contributes to it as well.

@ justwise the op comments was based on his observations and you can see the way Vicjustice and kadmann agreed with him that the section is dry. None of them accused you of not doing well as a moderator, but your response above sounds like someone that is not really ready for criticism,  You may be wise but not the wisest and cannot be always right. Have an open mind to comments.

Vicjustice and kadmann's views were constructive and balanced, i take criticism, if i don't, all the negative comments made against me here in Travel Section would have been deleted long before you see it.

LMAO. I would say the Travel section has been sanitised, to the detriment of certain "elements". wink
Re: Dry Travel Section! by Aberle: 12:10am On Jan 22, 2012
his section includes dry cleaning and laundry expenses incurred in the coursework of your travel period.Telephone - Business calls, fax costs or other communication costs associated with the business travel are deductible.Tips paid for any travel expense section are allowed as a tax deduction.
Re: Dry Travel Section! by WAVixen: 2:06am On Jan 22, 2012
Yes, most sections are dry. I guess because we are online most times.

cheesy woa!! how did i miss this Thread ? Travel Section I know of 2006 -11 always make me laugh and roll on floor most especially Justwise Vs Scammer or Naija Base Vs Uk Base Ajanlekoko and co wink But ever since JW became a Mod Scammers got needles close to there eyeballs cheesy well TVS has been sanitized and some m[i]or[/i]on who believes on internet advert has been saved by the MOD.

Furthermore, making this section interested is all about individual's creativity i have read lot of threads that got nothing to do with Visa Advert yet still pull lot of traffics and replies e.g there was this old thread that has to do with people in Uk posting pictures of the snow at that particular period while you see some crazy people coming out to snap in the snow with towel wrap over there waist grin

conclusion: if TVS is boring to you look else where to grab your fun so simple it all about clicking or bring your fun to it

Lol @ the contributions.

While beef/fights bring in views, posts & interest, good topics also bring in views, posts & interest. Its up to the regular postsers to post your own travel local or abroad stories & pictures and inject life to the section. I have really enjoyed most the picture threads in this section and those of local experiences in their own cities.

You can make it lively by showing us your travel pictures, starting good topics that everyone would wanna contribute to etc.

Politics is too harsh and tribalistic for some of us.
