First thing in the morning, I visit naira land for top stories. Its like my daily newspaper.

So 2 days ago, I visited and lo and behold our darling nairaland.com wasn't accessible. I'd thought it was small problem not until I couldn't reach the site the whole day.

I went to twitter to see Seun post an update but what caught my attention is that most of the comments kept calling Seun a bigot.

Well, I'll like to state that nairaland hasn't live up to expectation when it comes to moderation of comments. But then, have you visited Reddit, twitter and even Facebook, what is the difference between the comments there and here?

My point, it's almost impossible to regulate users comments on a large forum as this. Importantly, Seun put a disclaimer that is very clear and visible to all.

Besides, the beauty of this forum is the faceless nature that allows anyone to drop their opinion.

Another issue I want to point out is why is a mighty site like nairaland at the mercy of some jerk

I have a very small site and I do backup every single month. This means if my host wakes up one morning and say get out, my site will be running on another host in max. 30 mins.

I don't know much about servers, but nairaland deserves its own self hosted server.

Nairaland should be independent because depending on a host in a 1st-world country where rule of law is very active is very dangerous.

That's it, I'm happy to see nairaland is back.

Hallelujah somebody

Great. I'm happy to log in again.

It's not worth celebrating
