This site is growing because everyone can share his or her opinion, some people think the admin is such a bad g.u.y, but seriously i don't see anything wrong in what he's doing, there are rules everywhere maybe he oversteps his boundaries sometimes but then we can live with that, i mean some people say such horrible things because they are on the internet they need to be punished. If you don't like what's going on here you simply leave the site. What gets on my nerves is when someone is having a beef with another member and the clique join in the beef, that's rubbish. Just because one or two members leaves then the clique follows.

man,you said it all

I bet some of em wanna return, ,

You cannot compare najiaryders or talknaija with the sites wildcat is talking about. Talknaija/Naijaryders built their own member base from scratch but these sites(Naijabrain.justnaija) are just scraping members off Nairaland and out of malice too. I kept getting their invites one after the other in my inbox. I sent one to admin.

@skidoc, u got this out of my mouth.

@vichel & buckeye
Well it "might" be understandable given the manner in which they left NL that they would harbor some ill-will, hence their recruitment tactics/comments. I do not subscribe to it, but I understand not everyone thinks stuff thru. Now I do not know about people forming cliques. I joined in January I beleive and I never had the issues of people ignoring me that skidoc mentioned. I frankly couldn't care less. If I see something interesting I jump in and post. Of course some degree of "credibility" does accrue with a post count out of the single digits. This does not mean higher post counts mean more, but I doubt the "clique" are the only ones guilty of "ignoring" one line comments with a post count of 1.

Now if I remember correctly the revolt was triggered by some heat btw the Admin & n2h. I doubt it had anything to do with being the center of attention or not. Besides a "clique" probably would not care about attention from "outsiders".

@dafman
I don't think the Admin is a bad person either, he has rules and I think he does enforce them correctly. An example would be the postings made by the stripper chick from PH. The issue I do have is his tone of address. Some will ignore it, others will not and I mentioned as such to him after the n2h situation.

u made a good point there, but remember that not everybody have the nerves to just jump in and post in a topic just like me and u,some people feel ignored when the post and nobody respond to it just like someone metioned earlier in "Is Nairaland a clique?" thread.

i never belived there is a "clique" on Nairaland(maybe there is) becuase i alway post anythime i feel like,regardless of what people think for as long as i get it off my chest.

I'm a member of about 7 different forums. Any crime in that?

so am i

I only find JN more interesting than NL for now. What drove me away for some time from NL was majorly due to the removal of the pm system.

exactly, i was pissed too but then i realised NL is not very much about Seun, but because of the people here.

WORD! You did not come here because of him, why must you leave because of him?

Grrr, I am also important!

Abeggi, ,

If only he could stop poking nose unnecessarily into every thing that goes on here, people would stay.

IAH:

WORD! You did not come here because of him, why must you leave because of him?

he can ban me.

buckeye:

he can ban me.

yep. that's the one thing that can surely send you away

I am willing and able to ban anybody and everybody if deemed necessary. That should never be called into question. There is no "queen" or "untouchable" on Nairaland anymore. Hehe, see me talking tough.

I must say here that the creation of other fora is a welcome development.
People now have a choice, when they are given unnecessary heat they have an option to migrate to the other vice versa.
For instance i visit both and will continue and when I'm tired i will dump them like Dog shit and move on to a new height.
Afterall, we were all in yahoo and msn chat rooms, but how many people go there now?
make una let me hear word jare, na Nigeria thing and style
Na today

and why can't i type the word "gu.y". which levels? na bad word now?

The "raiding Nairaland" thread on JustNaija has been removed. Yay! I may go ahead to remove the word block on their URL in acknowledgement of this gesture. Competition is good if executed ethically.

C0dec, the word in question has been overused on the forum, especially in titles. It can mean boy, man, or person. Just choose which one is more appropriate. This is offtopic though.

Seun, how do i attach a poll to a thread?

@First poster:

JustNaija is NOT an anti-nairaland site.  The owner is NOT an ex-member who is trying to move people away from here.  He just wants to own a forum of his own.
(Un)Fortunately, most of those that have joined the site are those that were frustrated by 'God knows who' on Nairaland.  While, most of the members' reactions could be seen as frustration, the site owner is simply out for competition.  I hope this answers the first poster's question and other curious minds as well.

buckeye: you can leave a note in the first post that you'd like a poll.

oh ok, thanks.

I take every other thing you wrote as correct but umm, this one in quote above is not quite true. Are you being economical with the truth?

@Seun, as long as "GUY" is not a curse word or a bad word, I don't see why it should be disallowed. Why would you say the word has been overused? What then would you say about words like "the", "me", "you"? Haven't those ones been over-over-over used?

This site progresses much faster when we spend more time enjoying it and less time complaining about the management!

What bout our PM's Seun, eh? everybody seems to have forgotten bout it, but i've not. just wondering wut'll make u delete our PM'S and not bother ur head over replacing them. dont BAN me oh, abeg.!

That's true seun, what about the PMs eh? I haven't forgotten either!

tell am oh. i could be conversating on a topic knowing fully well the g.u.y.s i'm speaking with are not boys. refering to them as boys - well some people can take that as being disrespectful. we are nigerians and you know respect is always an issue.

c0dec, you can refer to them as friends or people or ogas instead of using that word!

ocho, you know I love you very much. Let us not fight. The PM issue is about maintaining sanity on this forum. The decision to delete old Pms is very much regretted but the decision to remove PM support was a step in the right direction. As for Grizzly, he was not even here when the PMs were remove, so what's the rubbish he is saying?
