As 2022 comes to a close, let's take stock.

Nairaland was founded in 2005. I joined in 2011 after using it without registering for 2 years.

Meaning I've been on the site for over 10 years. In all these while, interesting people have come and gone(or maybe changed their handles). Some are still around but less active.

People like Afam4eva, Redmosquito, Mukina2, mrCork, lalasticlala.... made the forum fun (Oh, nostalgia!)

What is worrisome is that nairaland has refused to improve in features and functionalities, design and dynamism, content quality, etc, after all these years.

Considering advancements in web technology, gadget power gains and better internet speed, why Nairaland remains unchanging like a worn-out castle from the dark ages beats my imagination.

Anyone that knows why should please explain to me like I'm five. Even better if seun can make a defence for himself.

Oya, let's know the feature you'd like added or removed from Nairaland.

Lmao ! I built Nairaboard entirely from scratch myself. If you had created an account and explored some of the additional features added, you will know that I am capable of building something else entirely, the choice to keep it similar to nairaland was intentional, I didn't set out to build something completely different from what people were used to.

LearnedsConcept:

Bro to be frank with you, your website UI affects the eye!

The Color combination needs a touch up.

Any way I agree with you what matters is the content

YoungCabal:
I disagree, the site distinguish itself from Nairaland in design and internal features, besides, the current design Nairaland is using was based on babylon theme of simple machines forum so, nairaland itself is a copycat for your information ! We wey old know the story

And BTW! There are lots of foreign forum sites that use the same design and thrive, what matters is content. It's why people visit facebook, twitter and tiktok on daily basis even when they can just stick to one app. You are just looking for a new design to see, people like you still get tired after few days, Your problem is boredom not a platform design issue.

If Nairaland was that bad, why are you still on it ? It's all about content

Emeka71:
I agree.

milky3:
I just can't back to the site after 4years of voluntary inactiveness

Goldmynemaniac:


So, you opine that seun should leave it the way it is? Can't it or shouldn't it be improved upon?

Goldmynemaniac:

Why were you inactive?

YoungCabal:
yeah! off you go kid, bye

MiaBeer:

I actually think you did a good job. My question is how long did it take you to fully develop it? What do you think about the one on my signature? Time has really not been on my side with that?
