Qahira:
It's now that you know you'll fix your site. If they didn't take it down I'm sure you won't do anything. I remember when I told you months ago on Twitter to fix your forum what did I get as a response? Blocking.

Nairaland used to be very interesting but you turned it into a haven for bigots. I'm glad you've woken up to your senses.

He doesn't care cos there's no competition.
We need reddit level moderation on this forum, and why doesn't a big forum like this have a working mobile app?

Thank God ohh!!
I was beginning to get really worried!!!!!

Me and the Sensible Nairalanders

meaning u and 7 others

israelmao:
I did my own bit by reporting many abuses such as tribal and religious bigotry but all fell on deaf ear.I think some lessons have been learnt in hard way.

If you did report any kind of tribal abuse, whether it's only those directed at your tribe or any other tribe, then fair play to you. What I have found out is that most Nigerians are hypocrites. They've been celebrating on twitter over Nairaland inacess for the past few days, because to them their tribes or favorite politicians are abused here. Hardcore tribalists for that matter. They don't care about their own tribesmen insulting other tribes. They even laugh over it.

Stephench:

Do hosts know what people are typing on a website they're hosting? That obviously wasn't the type of abuse.

Only the government can issue directives on hate speech and not web hosts or server providers

Mostly, no. But if it is brought to their attention, they will review and act on it.

LAXconfidential:
Guys, let this be a warning for all of us to stop all the tribal and antisemitic comments if we truly love Nairaland ❤

I pray that the tribalists and religious warriors will learn to be more civil in their comments. We can express our opinions without being rude and condescending to one another.

Sorry ern, we know the particular people reporting your website they were even celebrating the downtime of the website too. But God pass them

Exactly, they were all over twitter celebrating the downtime and wishing it never comes back again. Once you disagree with their choice of political candidate, they go about trying to ruin you, tracking your personal details and reporting you to your bosses at work, trying to make you lose your source of livelihood. Even going as far as reaching out to immigration authorities if you are abroad. Evil people.

Good that it's back

ArmaniUhuru:
See jobless people commenting anyhow. Which one “I was half dead before?” “I have been down” “My life has been boring”


Una better go find work o.

Una don start again, abi? This is one of the reasons why some were wishing Nairaland should not come back. We don't want negative comments here again.

Several hundred million dollars

Its not that much this days man. You can spend 10k usd or less and have your own hosting solution or cloud service.

Iambro:
build your own server

.......Or GO TO COURT!

otomatic:
Please, this should not happen again.

Forum members should learn civility and avoid ethnic profiling and "cuss" words.
Mods should be up and doing ensuring the Forum is sanitized.
Bots or algorithms should be deployed to take down offensive posts ASAP.
Management should run business continuity tests periodically and have contingency plans in place

I know how many times I have refreshed this site in the last 3 days.

Thank God it's back now.

I also refreshed at night but couldn't have access. I enjoy reading post and getting updated here. Thank God it's back

Those responsible for this are those empty chest beaters

I did not mention the name of any group o

Hackportal:
You have been using this Forum as center of tribalism, you have been using this Forum to attack Igbos since 2015. You have to sit up Bro and preach against tribalism and bigotry in this Forum or else you gonna learn in the hard way again.

Get out with your one-sided narrative. You're blinded to see the attacks Igbos have been giving to others here. It's only when Igbos are attacked that it's wrong. We know it's your likes that reported and tried to bring the site down.

seunthomas:

10k USD? what does that give you? A full server in say Amazon data centre? And what happens if Amazon withdraws if abuse and hate on NL is reported to them?

TheGift:


Who told you it was hackers?

You clearly did not read the post.

I did bro. Seun it not actually specify. He Was just Talking with style

We dey ground no shaking.... Nairaland no small..... Carry on oga seun...

Seems you've not learnt your lesson! It's hateful bigots like you that got this forum banned in the first place!

Beverlyjean:
The moniker "Trustnone" cloned my account and started begging people for money and destroying my image while a mod banned me at that same period...I couldn't defend myself or report the guy... this shows everyone how vulnerable this site is ... how can a person carbon copy a users name here... never have I heard of this sort of thing.... knowing we don't have name verification here ... and again tribalism thrives here , even foreigners are amazed at the level of hate and tribalism on this site .... seun pls take note

u do explain tire

You just they run your mouth. With 10k usd and a good internet provider, you can host any big ecommerce website talkless of nairaland. It would be rough on the go but you grow with your infrastructure. And he is already using a cdn so he wont have too many issues. I have done work for client who are hosting video streaming service with their own home internet in switzerland.

Seun:
Dear Nairalanders and Advertisers.

Nairaland's server was taken down by our host's abuse team because of an abuse report that wasn't attended to on time.

After rectifying the error, we brought the server back for a few minutes, but they decided to take the server down again. Since then, we haven't heard from the abuse team, yet the support team keeps insisting that only the abuse team can help us.

So we had to transfer Nairaland to a temporary host in order to bring it back to you. A VERY time-consuming process. We are not fully back, even though most features of the site are working. We still have a long way to go. Additional downtime is likely; don't let it alarm you.

There's a lot more to say, but I have to go back to work to ensure that our return is permanent. Please forgive us for the stress we caused. We appreciate the love and support that you showed us during the ordeal. Nairaland is too important for us to let this happen again.

Best Regards,
Seun Osewa.

Seun make me a mod and I will help you to sanitize this forum.

Make una dey calm down. He's been sending updates on X (twitter) since the incident happened.

Moreover, how would he has been able to reach out to millions of users on using the sire? Text message? Bankruptcy!!!

I hope the site is back permanently and he finds way out of these bigotry, nepotism, egoism and the likes.

NoToPile:
All duly noted

Hopefully when all is totally well, you will put measures in place to ensure this doesn't happen again .

Story for the gods

Good to be back partially

Competition this, competition that, you can also build your own site, if it's easy. Igbos and Yorubas are the people that want to ruin this young man. If this is how Americans think about competition, Facebook wouldn't have grown up to this extent. Let's appreciate our own, irrespective of the tribe, belief of the founder. After all, we are all Nigerians before any other thing.

W pray for total back & beta

They aren't many. And moving a Nairaland to any of such would result in a heavy loss of business. Sites hosted on those types of places have very terrible online reputation and mist often don't show up on Google searches. Reputed Nigerian businesses would stay away and not advertise on NL if they move to one of those obscure places that encourage hate and abuse

You dey say wetin you no know sir

So glad it is back.

Aint no place like Home (Nairaland)

airsaylongcome:


If he does a co-location, does that solve the problem? The co-lo can still take down the site.

Co-location cant take down your site, they can ask you to move your server if you are doing something illegal. You can co-location in places that dont have too much restrictions. Internet web-hosting is for small sites.
