Averix, it is not MinneapolisKID who is keeping an eye on you. It is couple of moderators because you have started to disrespect moderators when they tell you to calm down. This is our website and we pay the bills saxib. All we ask of you is to acknowledge if you make mistakes and try your best in keeping the site clean. That is all. You can battle and bring out your creative best but please keep the extreme profanity out of here because we have a clean standard and we would like it to keep it that way.

Ballerz and TIGRENOIR , I don't know if you have read the rules of this site, but there seems to be some kind of a misunderstanding here. I have been following your topics lately and you seem to always resort back to NAMECALLING and VULGARITY when replying to other nomads. I have just deleted some of your posts((why somali guys are ugly ....) with all kinds of personal attacks. Let me make this clear to you brothers, ANY PERSONAL ATTACK or FOUL LANGUAGE WILL NOT BE TOLERATED. The Adminstrator will have no option but to ban any individual who keeps disrespecting nomads here. Let us be respectful to one and other guys. Let us stop the foul language and the personal attacks. Administrator

File sharing is intalled in the CHAT ... look for the button that says "FILE TRANSFER" on the private conversation window.

You are using the new version now ... but the skin is an older skin ... the new skin was slowing down the chat because of its heavy graphics so we replaced it with an older, faster one. Please bare with us till we find a fix for the new skin.

We have recently installed version 4.0 of our chat software. We have added FILE TRANSFER OPTION(you can actually ask your mysterious chatmate for his/her picture right there, you can share music, files, videos, etc) This new version also has a new look and many other features. The problem is that this version is resource intensive and it slows down your computer unless you have a top computer. Do you think we should stick with our old version? How many of you are having problems with it?

Aaaamiiiin.

It seems like we go through this with someone every now and then, but anyways ... LazyG, you are still calling people names. Please respect our site and stop attacking other nomads. I have seen you attack not only Mujahid but BUUBTO and KOOL KAT. Sister, just remeber that you don't have to be banned, edited or be subjected to posting on a "BORING" forum if you don't appreciate what other nomads post here. We have strict RULES that we follow and we will not change them for you only. We respect you and everyone else here. Please tone down your rhetoric and reply calmly without calling anyone a name.

Last time I knew, Yussufaddie was talking about travelling to the Middle East to further his Islamic education and work on some developement projects in Africa. I am not sure if he is gone yet. I hope his studies and his projects are going well for him.

JamaaL-11, this is an interesting topic. I moved it to POETRY section from the general area. Maybe the peots here can get this literature going. Thanks

This was a very educational topic. I don't know why it was closed. Sorry about that guys.

Good question mujahid. We have tried our best to encourage others but it didn't work out. Kowneyn and Yussufaddie used to contribute alot, but I think Yussufaddie is gone to Asia and Kowneyn gave up. The thing with the Islamic forum is that most nomads don't want to give opinions on issues relating to Islam because it is not the Islamic ADAAB to do so if you aren't CAALIM (muslim scholar). One way of by-passing this obstacle is to have nomads posting interesting, educational articles from other Islamic sites for reading/educational purposes only. Nomads will start asking question about these articles and that usually starts the discussion.

Proud_Lady, why are ya so negetive? Are you asking for a fight and name calling on Somalia Online? Do you blame Medman if we asked him to cool things off. Sister, this site is different. We all respect each other. I don't expect you to be bad mouthing others in any circumstances even if others attack you. We will take care of anybody who attacks you, but please do your part and show respect. Thank You

Sniper, welcome to Somalia Online. This is a good topic bro. I am surprised that many nomads including the lovely nomads indhadeeq and wildcat7 don't even read the front page news of this site ... lol. We work so hard to keep you all updated on what is going on. This Somali lady was on the Somalia Online front page news twice I think. The most recent one being 2 or 3 days ago. Her pic is still there. Read and post more informative articles guys ... it is always good to feed the mind.

Web, thanks for your kind words. Your site is nice too. We have added it to the our links database. Please always forward your suggestions and tips to us. Good to see us nomads giving credits to each other. It is really nice. Appreciate it. ------------------ Thank You! Somalia Online Team

In case you didn't notice, this forum is moderated and foul language is not permitted Thank You Somalia Online Team Originally posted by sven erik: ********************** *******************Swedish

The calling is exactly the same my man. You would have to be under the thumb of whites christians to be a 'nigger' or a "terrorist". We, African Americans, don't call palestians or any other arabic people "terrorists". Its just another white trick. The message is the same: DEGRADE, DEMONIZE AND RULE.

She-dreams, It is part of the site rules for us to move threads as we like. It is nearly impossible to notify every poster when we move threads to the appropriate category. The LAST thread that you responded to is that "SOMALI PORN STARS" thread I think. That got deleted because we don't let stuff like that on our site. If I am not mistaken that thread was started by somebody else. You only responded to it, so if the thread gets deleted so does your post simply because of the way things are designed. Again, if somebody doesn't post under the appropriate category we don't make a big fuzz about it, we simply move it to the category we think it belongs to. We reserve the right to do so. Please forgive us if we caused you any headaches. We just have to keep things in order. That is all. Admin Somalia Online Team [This message has been edited by Admin (edited 04-07-2002).]

MrJibriiL, sorry brother. Some of the data got deleted by accident but we recovered it all. Our apoligies for that. Thanks Bro Somalia Online Team

Curious, check out the LITERATURE section of the Somali links. Her webpage is listed there. Her posts are also on this CAMEL MILK DEBATE forum.

Ashwaq, thanks for your insight. We appreciate every comment you write and we are always grateful!! Sista, It is true that Somali author Safi comes here and she is still here. She is a wonderful writer and a wonderful nomad mother. We thank her for being part of this site. We also thank AYAANICK for referring her. On the other hand we have many other young Somali professionals who come here everyday and seek refugee in this site. Nearly every BIG NAME that you see on Somalia Online is either a working professional, a student at a major university or a young talent that is heading somewhere promising, hek we even have young professors like Ismahan. We promise that we will not let Somalia Online become a gathering place for the dummies leaving only stupidity behind. Eveybody here is a decent, smart, hardworking nomad. People don't agree on issues and sometimes go over the board with their extreme comments. Like you said, these nomads create their own world here with their jokes, debates, articles, insights and poetry. At the end of the day, it is all good ... they are still a big family, still complimenting each other. Somebody once said " I didn't know Somalis could be this civilized" on their post. Ashwaq, we don't expect you to judge this site or the nomads here because of the negetivity of one thread or one person. Even thoug we can't tell people to shut up, we can always tell them not to violate the rules of this site. Everybody gets a private messege stating all the rules to be followed. Please don't be "Disappointed and disillussioned" also. The ADMINS here will have a meeting soon and we will discuss if we should label "QABIIL TALK" as being a prohibited topic and a violation of Somalia Online rules. This is becuase no matter how it is worded, "qabiil talk" turns into negetivity after couple of responses or posts may I say. This is one sensitive issue which boils everybody's blood. NOTE: We have also noticed that people have been abusing the CAMEL MILK DEBATE forum lately with general posts. We ask everybody to read the title of the FORUM and treat it what it is supposed to be ... "INTELLECTUALS' DEBATE FORUM". If you don't know the CAMEL MILK DEBATE forum, it is the first forum of the nine forums. If you have a general comment, please post it on the GENERAL forum and not here. Thank You Somalia Online Team

What do you mean "black American"??????? Aren't you Somaliyes blacks? Whats wrong with us marrying each others? I am confused now

I am probably the first African American to post here. Excuse me Somaliyes. LeftC, Let's do a quick bodycount through history, and I think you'll find that Christians have a LOT more blood on their hands than Muslims. Nowhere in the Koran does God hold back the sun to allow a massacre to continue as he does in the bible. Also, Not to mention the fact that it was CHRISTIANS who first sacked Constantinople, the great Christian bulwark that protected Europe from the middle east for so long, all to pay off those "great" Christians, the Venetians. "Kill them all, God will know his own" Was the response given during one of the European (Albeginsian I think?) Crusades when a knight asked priest how to tell the "good" christians from the "bad" christians. LeftC, Any religion can be hijacked if the hater is charismatic enough.
