Thats a very good thing to do. Congratulations Max and the whole team. Ni kitu cha kufurahisha sana kuona hii social network tuliyoanza nao kitambo imeweza ku stand the test of time and still be THIS STRONG and continue to be stronger.
Nakumbuka palikua na Darhotwire, Young African zote zikiwa zimeanzishwa kabla ya JF lakini ziko wapi!!!??
May I please make the following remark:-
The success of any social network relies on the members, I dare say more than the owner and moderators as significant as there work might be. There are certain key members that, in their unity (an unconsciously formed union it might be) have managed to pull many others and made this the most interesting and exciting forum in EAST AFRICA. I believe the secret to JF success lies in the characters and contributions of many of it's members though I am not trying to demean the extraordinary work done by the moderators in any way.
Having said this, I also believe that the death of JF will also be as a result of it's members as well. This demise will be brought by the following ways:-
1. Having an over crowding of I.D.I.O.T.S. Since it is very unfortunate that we can not filter who is able to join and comment in the forum, we have ended up being bombarded by nincompoops with ignoramus comments. This has discouraged the rate of "intelligent" people joining the forum as compared to THE OTHERS.
Indeed if it wasn't for the likes of ..........(there are many and mentioning a few might discourage the rest 🙂 ) with there intelligent and thought provoking topics, posts,arguments and debates JF would have been HISTORY.
In addition these imbecilic comments and topics have the potential of making the forum appear LESS SERIOUS in the future.
I am sure we have seen people say things like "Imekua kama FB sasa" au "embu mwone huyu anafikiri hapa FB", hii yote inaonyesha ni upande gani JF inataka kuangukia.
Max, I wasn't there with you when you decided to start this network, neither can I claim an ounce of credit or direct contribution to this great achievement of yours, but what I can dare say is that I have an inclination of what I believe you had in mind when starting this, (How presumptious eh!!!) or at least what I would like to see in JF.
Now, if you, like me, believe that we have the above narrated threat be kind enough to consider my proposal. Can we give more key members in particular forums the ability to VOTE for or against the posting of a particular topic or post. i.e. instead of this matter being left solely to the moderators, certain members can be given VOTING POWER and a members credit or discredit for that matter can be achieved by the number of meaningful comments and topics he/she has contributed in certain forums.
This involvement of members will sure revitalize and positively contribute to the growth and credibility of our forum!
There are more details to this idea of mine and I am sure people will have many questions, however if you agree on the principle of the matter, halla, and we can continue the exchange.
Oh I was supposed to ask a question. Ok. So Max what do you think of the principle of the idea, we at JF are champions of Democracy shouldn't we be practicing it here, Power through the ballot box???
All in all GOOD WORK GUYS, HASTA LA VICTORIA SIEMPRE, JF 4 LIFE!!!! WHERE WE DARE TALK OPENLY!!
