I was bored earlier, so I went back in time to grab screenshots and show nairalanders what this site looked like from when it was created in 2005 till now. Drop your comments if you think it's UI went through any major changes.

Here's the order of the pictures sorted according to year:
2005
2006
2007
2008
2010
2011
2012
2013
2014
2020

Continuation

continuation...

Looks like the last time it had a major upgrade was in 2012.

No meaning ui changes for years.


What a useless platform


Seun thinks Nairaland is Google

My own is, Seun should also introduce the dark mode feature. We go too appreciate

Fascinating. How did you come by this?

nice work OP

How were you able to get this?

nairaland has upgraded

Look at 2005....214 members.

Indeed, never dispise the days of little beginning.

Dark mode go make sense

Kai....

The good ole days....


Nothing like Afonja, Ipob, or Arewa then because China never flood the market with phones like this.

Seun is not a good programmer. He's more of a business man than a programmer.

Even the over 2 million users is as a result of poor logic.

It will surprise you to know that nairaland actually have less than 1 million users.

its next upgrade is in 2050

It can be lower than that because nairaland registers emails permanently, though you can delete your account but you cannot reuse your email hence their increasing members stats.. It's a cham.

Even facebook loses users daily in great folds nairaland is not an exception eitherr.

I'm one of nairaland early users, at it's early stages you could get good advise from people. Now they just insult you just to get likes.

Just politics at frontpage, snakes and rapes though that was NL core values. What about tech business, career, programming none of them don't make frontpage anymore!

Who said i wanted to be hearing about politics every single day and rapes and birthdays? Am really disappointed.. NL lost a great user like me a long time ago. Adios

There is a project called "way back machine" . The project aims and objectives was to get copy of all web pages that exist on web sphere and save it to a central location/computer for historical reference.

That's because kids are many with less restrictions on usage of words by the founder. I believe if seun should implement even simple algorithm to filter some words, nairaland will be a great forum for African. He tried it with some words but the implementation was poor as users still used those words.
