1stCitizen: Programming? Since when customizing SMF(Simple Machines) turn to programming, bros? Anyway kudos for taking the risk to change that obsolete site. I have faith you will do it right after a few hiccups.

Seun: We cannot revert to the old forum. It uses a completely different database, which is incompatible with the version we switched to. It's technically very hard to do and it would result in an inferior mobile experience. Our only option is to continue to keep tweaking this one until it looks right.

odiaero: Seun, can u please add PM?

What for?

The ''friend request'' thingy never do una? Wetin you wan use PM facility do wey u no fit do via ''friend request'' thingy?

Haba! Small time now una go ask Seun to add chat-c[i]u[/i]m-webcam facility too? Well na that time the whoopee, go see the waazee .


Xcuse me pass jare!

Okija_juju: This is the worst thing to happen to happen to Nairaland since the registration of Mr. Cork. . .

Not in the ''laughter mood'' but this kinda got me LMAO

dripstoil: Seun,

I'd have to be honest with you. I couldn't belief that after all these years on the Internet
with a platform as huge as Nairaland, that you're still a "Greenhorn"

1. Software developments go through developmental circules and not just a one off with a friend.

2. Many users here talk about the "Interface" but I can tell you the "Backend" is nothing to write home about.

3. You need more than you and your partner for a project like this. You need Team of Developers complete with project managers!

4. Your software will go through circles and tested against bugs in every circle even before it gets to BETA.

5. The size of nairaland, you need Fulltime Team of Developers and software Engineers fully paid and maintained.

6. If you know you can't do all these, then go for vendors (You think vBullentin are fools for the work they've been doing over the years?)
Thats what you wanted to do over night with a friend.

7. There is nothing like few mistakes when your brain is switched off, There are millions of bugs in here.

I'm currently ebarking of a project to develop new SN and over 20 full in-house developers are currently working on it for the past three months,
that's what it takes to go custom.

8. 40% loss is understatement, don't be surprised with 80% traffics and revenue loss!!!

Just my opinion

Seun: Dear Nairalanders,

I have to apologize about the intermittent errors we've been experiencing since we switched to the New Nairaland script. When making the switch, my estimate was that we would lose about 20% of our traffic on the short term, and hopefully gain all it back in a month or so, and I was prepared to take that risk.

However, I never expected that we'd have issues with site uptime as a result of the switch. Most of the issues have been as a result of bugs pushed by me in the middle of the night when my faculties were not working optimally. I think we'd be lucky not to lose 40% or more of our traffic if this keeps happening.

I hereby apologize to Nairalanders for these errors of mine. I want to assure you that my programming partner and I are doing our best to deliver a world class "New Nairaland" experience to you. Our ultimate goal is to make New Nairaland better than Old Nairaland, in every way, within a month.

Thanks a million for your understanding.
