Wow,wow.Am glad to "see" you all.Had a frustrating weekend without NL + I have not been enjoying the best of health. I wonder how much of it was due to lack of NL. I support the call for voluntary contributions from those who can afford it. I know money is a sensitive topic!Seun just get in touch(pm)with those  who have shown their interest and work out the best way we can help. Kudos,and welcome back!

As for me, I was reading cached pages.

as per the contribution scheme, i am for it for those who can afford it but i seriously doubt seun will welcome that, he wouldnt be the owner of the forum anymore............i believe, because if a major contributor feels he is being handed a raw deal.........

thats the idea!!!

may be we incorporate nairaland and donations will be shares in the company...

yea,and the girls can take as many husbands as they can handle!!!!

not in my lifetime

well,for that,I pick you as husband #30

I was sick, I felt like dying, I didn't believe I could survive without nairaland, I felt incomplete, ...blah blah blah


It's nice to know nairaland is back anyway.

snazzydawn:

well,for that,I pick you as husband #30

pick me as aristo number 1

No way,that will earn you a ban from Admin ooo!!!! and from your Olori,permanent banning!!!

once i have u, am OK. let everyone ban us...

Nferyn, I appreciate what you're doing to raise money for a backup solution for Nairaland. I have now obtained a VPS from www.powervps.com which costs just $10/month more than what I was paying at www.tektonic.net and I am sure that even if there are outages with these guys in the future those outages will be pre-announced and will not last more than 1 or two hours each. The new host is much more reliable!

About backing up the forum: the thing about the forum is that it's database driven and the database is updated every single second! The only way to get an up-to-date backup is to get another VPS in a different datacentre and configure it to be a slave to the MySQL server on my main site. To be sincere, when you consider the amount of traffic that this forum gets, this kind of money should not be difficult for me to spend. Unfortunately, I happen to be a miser.

So it would be unethical for me to accept donations, but in the future we'll have a Nairaland store for those who would like to spend money and help Nairaland. However, members who really want to help Nairaland can also: (1) follow the rules more diligently, (2) make themselves available when invited to the Nairaland congress, (3) Invite their friends by email, (4) Link to the forum from their blogs, journals and websites, (5) Write and publish articles about Nairaland.

Regards,
Seun.

Thank God Nairaland is back. So many things went through my mind. I first thought Nairaland had been hijacked, then I thought I had been banned but after trying to connect at home, in the office, and on my cellphone, I still couldn't connect.
@Seun, This weekend must have been the busiest for you. I'm sure we didn't feel this half as much as you... keep up the good work.
@hot_angel, layi, snazzy, deji, chillin, etc etc. Missed you all. Nice to be back.

LONG LIVE NAIRALAND!
LONG LIVE THE FEDERAL REPBULIC OF NIGERIA!
