My Nairaland Observation by danielclerkson(m): 12:46pm On Jun 01 |
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 Nlfpmod, seun, lalastica, Karleb |

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 |
Re: My Nairaland Observation by danielclerkson(m): 2:09pm On Jun 01 |
house10studios:. 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 |
Re: My Nairaland Observation by house10studios: 2:17pm On Jun 01 |
Even twitter n Facebook get spam |
Re: My Nairaland Observation by danielclerkson(m): 2:20pm On Jun 01 |
Shomek:. He over promises and under delievers |
Re: My Nairaland Observation by danielclerkson(m): 2:21pm On Jun 01 |
house10studios:. But they have moderation, if you come across a sponsored post on FB it would be indicated, but on nl hmm |

house10studios:. 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 |

Re: My Nairaland Observation by africoders18: 11:22pm On Jun 02 |
The board does not bring money to seun's table that is why |
Re: My Nairaland Observation by danielclerkson(m): 11:28pm On Jun 02 |
africoders18: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 |
Re: My Nairaland Observation by africoders18: 10:25am On Jun 03 |
danielclerkson: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. 1 Like |

africoders18:lol the topic comparism cracked me up, but it is true oh the ad rates for this section is low compared to other sections |
Re: My Nairaland Observation by airsaylongcome: 7:12pm On Jun 03 |
danielclerkson: You really think the only cost to host the biggest forum in Africa is "server fees"? |
Re: My Nairaland Observation by danielclerkson(m): 8:52pm On Jun 03 |
airsaylongcome:I am not really sure they pay mods, but aside from that what else could be taking any significant amount of money ? |
Re: My Nairaland Observation by airsaylongcome: 10:04pm On Jun 03 |
danielclerkson: 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. |
Re: My Nairaland Observation by danielclerkson(m): 10:48pm On Jun 03 |
airsaylongcome: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" |
Re: My Nairaland Observation by airsaylongcome: 12:43am On Jun 04 |
danielclerkson: 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. |
Re: My Nairaland Observation by gistray: 1:08am On Jun 04 |
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. 1 Like |
