For some time now I can't feel the spirit of Nairaland. The forum used to be very interesting, interactive, funny, alive, informative, engaging and everything in between.
Nairaland feels different now, it feels very cold, uninteresting and bland. I used to come to Nairaland seeking for a good laugh at least, throughout today and some other times I go days without seeing that humor here.

Entire sections have been taken over by people selling one product or the other, some just write a single word or line and that's it. There seems to be little or no interactions between members. The front page is just there, hardly any interesting content. This is elections time and you'd expect a lot of intellectual discussions, but for where? The elections discuss started out well but now it seems dead.

Seun, sorry for calling your attention, but if you are still the owner of this forum just know that this is your brainchild, your innovation and brilliant idea. As a long time member here I've noticed things are spiralling down quickly and you need to retrace and take Nairaland back to the original blueprint.

If you've sold it out temporarily to these old fakes for campaigns then both the intent and the forum is being defeated. Go back to how it was before, if they can't keep up let them drop. People are complaining seriously.

Or maybe it's just my opinion.

Trolling seems to be the most rampant now.

If the contents are becoming boring…



Why call out seun. Make una Dey create interesting topics nah!



You complaining how many topics have you created?

How do posts get hidden? Do you mean not put in front page…?



I think seun is a business man and would do anything to drive traffic to his site.


My area of complaint about NL is the level of tribal wars and soft porn posted here. The mods need to do more in cleaning this up.



I hardly go to romance section these days…

I believe there's a way the mods push a post behind so it doesn't get views or hit the "trending" area.

Romance section is gone a long time ago, sorry to say, only psychos and kids visit there. They should change the name to s*xuality and sadists section 02.

I have plenty suggestions that I think Seun can improve Nairaland, making it more interactive, engaging etc, after noticing the demography and people's leanings. But baba I will only talk with the owner privately.

i have been on NL since the year it started and it will always be this way. A mix of outstanding brilliance and dumbo, serious minds & clowns.
With time you learn to eat the fish & throw the bone or chew it if your teeth is strong enough.
Someone else will still make this complain in the next 5 years.
Let everybody be. NL will not be fun without the mix of different people from different backgrounds & ideologies.

The forum don die since. Use it for whichever way appeals to you.
