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

codeigniter:

nice I was in mern b4 but i don't like express js, because it doesn't do much for u, I like flask than express js I will always use flask for building APIs I currently building a library in flask, I hope u are using mongoose

Fash20:

Sure bro

codeigniter:


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

codeigniter:
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

http://www.africonn.com

codeigniter:
After a long time of adding more features. I have moved the app from Heroku to aws and ha e gotten the domain name www.africonn.com at this point a can say it is the best african developed forum and it is ready for use it. Thanks to those who helped me tested it initially
