9jadelta: nairaland is a forum. that will not make much sense

Thank you, 9jadelta for sharing your opinion. True, nairaland is a forum and what is a forum compared to what i was talking about? A forum is a place where people have the ability to start communication (in the form of threads) and reply to other people's threads. A member of the community in the forum posts a message, which is visible to everyone in that community. Once read, there is the option to post a reply, which can also be visible to the community. Thus, a discussion can build up without all users having to be online at the same time.

Mind you a forum can have news head lines, this is exactly what users are doing on Nairaland and if you go through the headlines you'll find pages of comments and replies. This will keep the site flowing and fun. Without those topics this place will be a place for "questions and answers" such as how much is a dollar in Nigeria today, how many bags of cements can build a 5 bedroom duplex etc.

For instance, i mentioned Yahoo, yes yahoo does have a forum and news sections. Nairaland can modify the site to become huge/big with facebook link so that when you make comments/post it will appear on facebook and other social network websites etc - This is a matter of API and the site will continue to grow

I have websites i have created and wish i have traffic like nairaland. There are so many ways to take your business to next level. This website is 8yrs and it is going to be like the old Craigslist (never change).

This is just a suggestion. Any input is greatly appreciated.

Thanks

maybe, dunno.
