Ahh... First of all, to hell with these green janky-looking emojis

open sourcing nl will most likely solve most of the problems

gistray:
Shoes of which people?

those being trolled over obscure thing such as asking a question

gistray:
Yes it is.

put yourself in their shoes

PulsingPurple:
I saw a post mocking Catholic churches being pushed to FP.
Another post where a Muslim was asking if Allah permits them to use POS was pushed to FP, and bear in mind that only Muslims can comment there...

Omorr...

exactly. It is like they are promoting the violence

PulsingPurple:
Exactly. One thing with older people is that we can't accept change.

The same way an old man loves his good ol' reggae music and local food is the same way Seun loves his good ol' perfect Nairaland interface and will do nothing to change it.

you cannot teach an old dog new tricks

PulsingPurple:
Well... I've been on Nairaland on and off since 2018 or so with different accounts (which I disable most)

And every section is just the same.
Rubbish contents, outdated website.

I'm sorry but you're like the 1000th person to make this observation...

I think Nairaland ventured from a passion to a business.

As long as the business is moving, Seun doesn't really care what we think.

And there are also some people who take this place and all it's good and bad as home, so no matter how bad it gets, they won't abandon it.

Hmm, welcome to the club.

if you were given the platform, what will be the changes you will propose to seun ?

Just as the topic suggests, has anyone here ever attended a hackathon or any coding related competition, i want to know the dos and donts as i have one coming up on saturday. Your feedback will be greatly appreciated. Airsaylongcome, qtguru, tensazangetsu20, karleb, lordZOUGA

Lol....I'm being pedantic I know. But it's mostly because tech person speaking to tech person, we should use the right terms. Imagine a Surgeon saying they have to remove your "belly" when they mean they want to remove an appendix which is inside the "belly". You go gree make dem commot your "belly"?

Lol. But it is sha true let us be using the right terms sha. But what are your stacks anyway, you seem like a backend dude

[quote author=C2Ok post=130304590]I think this product is targeted at on-the-go users You know Not everyone can use a gaming pc or laptop while on the mass transit

gistray:
This section doesn't give seun any money from Ads and AdSense.

It's practically useless to seun.

In short this place is just a trashbin


I even miss the trolls like Greatigboman and tastyfriedpussy who made here lively sometimes ago.

It is always fun when you are not on the receiving end

airsaylongcome:
For an IT person to say "wide canopy of the...term server" says a lot. When I walk into a bank and they have a outage and some lay person says to me "no network", I can forgive them. But the same thing said by an IT person to another IT person is "unforgivable". There is more to hosting a website than just "server costs". But if you want to refer to the entire infrastructure and support cost as "server cost" then be my guest. And don't think when NL is hosted on a server we are talking CPanel shared hosting.

OK, i give up

airsaylongcome:
So when you say "server fees" maybe you need to break it down. A lot of people throw "server" around when they mean the entire infrastructure that makes the service available. Cloud flare for example is a huge cost centre for NL. Also high availability, redundancy, data Backups (and disaster recovery) are all non-server related items that are major cost centres.

hmm. But to be sincere, all the points you have highlighted all fall under server costs and hosting. Cloudflare which you mentioned is a hosting company. Really check it, nl does not have and state-of-the-art security system and the koko of the platform is that it required alot of information which is kept on servers after it is hosted by cloudflare and the last place where additional infrastructure is just to ensure the utilization and moderation of high traffic and that is all. Correct me if i am wrong, but all these fall under the wide canopy of the aforementioned term, "server"

This dude's story is very sus for obviouus reasons

They no know say na dis kin thing dey reduce persn steeze

airsaylongcome:
You really think the only cost to host the biggest forum in Africa is "server fees"?

I am not really sure they pay mods, but aside from that what else could be taking any significant amount of money ?

africoders18:
I meant the programming board is not too important to seun. Other sections like romance bring more traffic.

Imagine a thread like :
Node 22 is out with hot features making frontpage vs
I just caught my neighbour's husband with my little sister

You know the romance one will trend generally.

lol the topic comparism cracked me up, but it is true oh the ad rates for this section is low compared to other sections

africoders18:
The board does not bring money to seun's table that is why

eh, wat are you saying. Only the money for ads can change someone's life oh. Just check the ad rates for different sections, you will be shocked. The only thing taking seun's money is the server fees

Sapasenator:
At least, you go see and assess person wey marry your ex na.

You go still see wedding pics na. I dey dodge dis kin thing to avoid embarassment oh

Sapasenator:
At least you go honour the invitation na?

Senior man no be anyhow invitation oh, imagine say they plan you dat day omo na suffer and embarassment be that. Some kin ex even u go wonder wetin bin dey do you

Sapasenator:
Do you get invited to your ex-girlfriend's wedding, how do you eat?

Do you try to recovery all the urgent 2k's and your investments like my friend in the picture or you try to eat like a gentleman.

lol that pic funny sha, but it depends on your relationship after break up or breakfast

see that 900k can get you a very high end gaming pc, so why a handheld that is just basically a pc with limited usability

house10studios:
prominent lol

lol, but it is true

house10studios:
as a blogger i have checked a lot of forums both local n foreign, trust me if seun begin act like them, our conversation for don bann us.

Hostility claims n those trash.

So just enjoy it, cause thats y u always coming back.

Facebook as alot of spam until u click it u won't know twitter redit all get sooo enjoy n stop complaining or just start ur own

. Call me a conspiracy theorist but i think alot of the so called hostility is promoted by seun and mods because why will you be pushing hostile prone content ( eg APC VS PDP) knowing fully well that it can cause, to the fp

eepeepook:
Let’s not go there. People have spoken since 2010. Many left when they realized things refused to change.

I already noticed prominent nlanders already leaving the platform. It is now a living billboard

eepeepook:
This forum no get hope.

But if the mods and seun actually listened to the users, things would have been much better

house10studios:
Even twitter n Facebook get spam

. But they have moderation, if you come across a sponsored post on FB it would be indicated, but on nl hmm

Shomek:
Eyah sorry don't get tired

You are right about this

I don't know what is wrong with mr seun he once promise his self that he will use the rest of his life moderating this forum
But i don't know he does not fulfill his promises to us and to himself

. He over promises and under delievers

house10studios:
2 months n u complaining d forum is here n d way it is try gist mania u go come back to nl.

Just chk out threads u align with simple

. How will you do that when everything is spam or ads, that is the point i was trying to make navigating nl will be difficult

I have been on Nl for about 2 months and have been active on the progamming section and even the science and tech section entirely. Here are some of my observations
1. The sections are almost entirely spam and ads. Aside from a few nlanders eg qtguru, we hardly get beneficial posts to enthusiasts, especially here on the programming sect.
2. The absence of beneficial and relevant topics on the Nl front page. The fp is just full of irrelevant and just outright stupid content. Imagine entering nl only to be greeted by one: SEE THE SOUP I MADE WITH #200 (PICS) and the worst is that nl mods promote dispute between members especially political one, it is like once any post is politics related, automatically fp material. We generally lack informative materials.
3. Sexual misconduct is praised here on nl. Imagine having a sexuality section when even to get current news on nl is a hassle i am just tired me oh, hmm
