NR VS NL (Part III) (Size & Open mindedness)
FORUM SIZES: (As of 9.8.06)
Naijaryders: NR claims to have 6,800 members but only approximately 10 jobless loiterers alternate the forum at the same time within a 3 hour time period, unless there is E-DRAMA (as they call it) : which usually involves somebody posting another persons unauthorized picture/bidness.
The remaining 6,790 members of NR are double ids and once active members who eventually got a life.
Nairaland: NL also boasts of 49714 Members which I essentially believed and used as an advantage over NR a while back, but a questioning link provided by an apparently peeved NL member showed some shady statistics that insinuated that Seun Osewa: the founder of NL had deceptively "upped" the numbers manually.
OPEN MINDEDNESS:
Nairaland: There is something oddly familiar about Nairaland.com's milieu. Its members are edgy and conformist in a "all homosexuals should be burned..." kind of way and although I give them credit for producing some of the most insightful threads ever seen on a Nigerian web board, they still manage to turn up their noses when it comes to being open minded.
From business savvy fresh off the boat Grads to Old and bitter UN-EMPLOYEES to up and coming web developers and technicians to delusional graphic artistes and disturbed individuals! The characters never fail to entertain
Naijaryders: Call me a nit-picker but NR is way to open minded. Infact, their minds are so wide open that you can actually see what's in their skulls (if you have a magnifying glass handy).
From pedophiles to wife beaters and women bashers to men bashers, feminists, serial haters and attention seekers! It's a freak show down there!
Which reminds me, I have to end the blog here because there is a scrupulous E-DRAMA on NR that I am investigating. A very thoughtful yet utterly malicious Ryder sent me the thread link. (probably xoxoluwaxox)
Initially, I was aloof and regarded it as another faux and inflated drama thread (these threads habitually spring up towards the end of the week when the jobless people become less busy!) but that all changed with Arinze's thread. It seems Toni Payne of NigerianEntertainment.Com is up to something... And whatever it is, I think I like it ??? That's what scares me
Mmmmm…. Stay tuned

Why would I want to up the numbers?
It's very sad that people would believe somehing like that. It's very frustrating that people would always be looking for reasons to bring one down. I may be many things you don't like, but I'm not a liar.
I don't mind it if you call me anti-social or a dictator or whatever else. I know that I am not always the most friendly or pleasant person. But calling me a liar without any proof or motive is just going to far.
If I decided to inflate the member count, why would I leave the post count unchanged? And for what reason, anyway? Only a pathological liar would tell a lie when there's nothing to lose by not telling it, and that's something I am not.
I don't deny that I am primarily concerned about revenue, but how does an inflated member count put money into my account? Can I spend the members in the market? top

Seun leave this mad girl and her friends alone.
They are frustrated children running around the internet looking for who to make like them.
Arguing with them will only bring you to their level. top
