Iambro:
build your own server

airsaylongcome:


I don't get why a lot of users feel they are best placed to critique the site when they don't have information of what goes on inside. This bland outdated look has been the sites selling point. We don't need those fancy Javascript laden frameworks that will use up loads of data and take 2mins for the page to load.

Ajoray:

If you look at this site and how it has not changed over many years, you will know it is not about selling point but lack of an innovative mind and a good team behind him.
I am not saying he should complicate the site. There are a lot of innovative features he could add without making it heavy. Verifications, comment section better structured, individual profile beautification like followership etc
The site is not big on videos, so there's nothing about wasting loads of data
Even then, twitter is big on videos and a lot of other features, yet they have tens of millions of users. The people that will love the site more will be more than those here now put together.

TolaniLuv:

Seun, I have some advice for you. I know you can read this, and I want you to know that I care about you, bro. If you check my profile, you'll see that I've been a member since around 2008. I urge you to consider selling Nairaland to an active person or a young individual who can become a shareholder. If you don't take this step, Nairaland, which is a source of pride for Africa, might face failure.

You are too slow.

You are too dull.

You are too stagnant.

The world has moved forward, and now there are millions of people like you.

Meanwhile, nobody knows what you look like in person, and you don't grant any interviews or interact with your peers. Are you even real?

What value would verification add? Do more successful forums like reddit have verification? And what value add to the business would "individual profile beautification" bring? Understand that a business will only make changes if it brings quantifiable revenue.

Felabrity:
I just have a question Mr seun

What the hell will happen to nairaland after your demise?

What did you put in place to keep the site moving?
The hosting stuff, management and everything

Abi the site to die with you?

Fuck2023:
shut up.
You're a lesbian. Dey disguise.
I go finish you for this forum

AncientAlien:

I have been trying the website almost hour upon an hour since the outrage. Lucky for me it goes through like magic this time around. good to hear. one malt for everyone here

abbey621:


Yes they do, Reddit for example, you are restricted from certian activities based on your registeration date and reputation. In fact certain subs can limit you based on other criterias. Verification is not just at time of registeration but an on-going process.

The single most effective solution for Nairaland is to tie each account to a verified phone number and an I.P. address, it is fairly simple to do and will reduce the spammers and abusers down to an acceptable level.

Wetin dey to regulate about female gender? . Guys go lie for una head? Everything about ladies is sexualised. Check ur profile pic, no be sex u dey advertise so? Wetin bad if dem call some of una olosho or sex object wey most of una be? Abi u want to do wetin deserve insult but make dem no insult u? Sorry to say this, but women don lose the last drop of respect wey dem get for this generation, na only those women wey respect themselves na him men dey respect. U can portray urself as a sex
object and expect to be treated as a decent and chaste lady.


Shalom!

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.

An avatar that i have had on my profile for years. And its not even me and people know it and you know it too. How does that translate to anything sexual that i am advertising. Unless you are looking for sex. Keep looking for what to use and riddicle yourself, you all keep finding it.

NuCypher:

Nairaland is indeed due for a significant upgrade. The fact that there's even no on-web chatting is already a big minus. This is something many users would want and it doesn't take significant work to realise it. But oops! You realise it's significant, because the site actually lacks the expertise to effect that in a meaningful way.

airsaylongcome:


It's comments like this that got the website taken down in the first place. I know your defense will be "I did not mention any name". But oyibo people are not fools or hypocrites like us. More tribalistic comments like this will surely have the website taken down again by its new host
