Haven't talked much about it, but Friendosphere is a community that has lot's of features you'll love. Let me list out some features:

* In-built messaging feature (not e-mail to e-mail style messaging)
* Ability to create groups
* Ability to upvote and downvote
* Automatic movement of threads to the front-page (It's based on amount of upvotes the thread gets)
* Movement of off-topic threads
* Really cool ban bot (Won't hurt your feelings)
* And others

You don't need to worry about manually getting a moderator to move your thread, it's done automatically, just post a good thread following the forum rules, get upvotes and you get moved automatically. Show interest in a thread by upvoting/downvoting it and display your votes on your profile.

Also, you can add tags to show more information of what your thread is about...
Plus, a syntax highlighter that cares about your code.

Post any issues with the site here and I shall get it fixed and I'm also looking for moderators, to signify interest, register on the site and share your profile here.


Note; Just to be clear, Friendosphere is in now way exactly similar to other Forum websites designed by any Nairalander, same way Stack Overflow and Quora is different from each other is the same way Friendosphere is different from Nairaland/Gdevit (they all have their perspectives and I'm a fan of both sites) .

How's the move to improve this section going? Has the thread been abandoned just like blueyedgeek's thread?

Css is breaking on my ucweb.
Navigation List bullets shooting my screen from every direction.

@Craigston, I appreciate your support, Still trying to get things to Seun, maybe we will go with @sleepingdemon's way at the end of the day.

You are a really smart kid, I found it funny no one asked me about the domain name.
There's a lot of story and Chemistry between me and that domain, I'd create a group on [url=friendosphere.com/groups]friendosphere[/url] about the domain history.
Do you know there's a [url=friendosphere.com/groups/php-developers/]PHP[/url] group on friendosphere?

I sight you @kingofthejungle, thanks.

@Kvngprezo, signup already, what are you waiting for? Remember, no annoying ban bots.

Do you know that you don't need a mod to bring down/close certain threads in certain sections? Based on the section, certain amount of down-votes on a thread can un-publish the thread. You are in control.

Registered... Nice job

Well done.
One issue tho.. You listed the site features - very good features - but you didn't state WHY THE SITE EXISTS.

It's on the homepage of the website, It exists for you!

Interesting, you can try out some other colors instead of the traditional white and grey. And site looks empty, I'll want to fill up the site with lots of quality contents if I were you. Above all, try to figure out some original functionality ideas you can implement on your community, it'll make the whole experience cooler. What algorithm are you using for ranking threads?

Cool he really need a professional color..

Hi, that's nice. A big thumbs up to you. What tech stack did you use?

Here are the variables that determine a thread's quality/rank:
Votes/score,
Views,
Replies/Answers,
Reply/Answer Votes
,
Time the thread was created,
Time of last activity on the thread,
Reputation of thread's OP,
Reputations of thread repliers.

The algo is similar to reddit's:

t = (time of entry post) - (Dec 8, 2005)
x = upvotes - downvotes
y = {1 if x > 0, 0 if x = 0, -1 if x < 0)
z = {1 if x < 0, otherwise x}
log(z) + (y * t)/45000

But more like SO:
(log(Qviews)*4) + ((Qanswers * Qscore)/5) + sum(Ascores)
--------------------------------------------------------
((QageInHours+1) - ((QageInHours - Qupdated)/2)) ^ 1.5

My user experience there is something around 1/5 signed up but can't login even after giving the site the leverage of going to check my mail to activate my account.

This could be caused based on multiple reasons and there's a 85% possibility that it's being caused by you, others have signed up and been able to login after confirming their e-mail address. What's your username?

But DanielGeek i just tried to read the terms of service for friendosphere an in the "Permitted and Prohibited" : ' regulations promulgated by the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission, any rules of any national or other securities exchange, and any U.S. laws' ...Now my question is wetin concern U. S laws for Nigeria na?? Are u the one that wrote those terms??

That's not a mistake at all. There's a big possibility Friendosphere will incorporate in the U.S, if it doesn't at the end of the day, the T&C will be updated.

The website is neither for Nigerians nor Africans only. Everyone's invited.

I guess you're doing payback for this :-)
