Stupid. Was it someone doing it to deliberately bring the site down or was it just some fool who decided to ignore your warnings last night?

you have to wonder how stupid some people are...it is obvious the search engine was taken down for a reason other than to allow regulars to feel special by using it with the other method. People need to think a bit more.

Thanks man :)
tridenti: Why did you think the search engine was taken away from the main site? Did you think phobia was just stopping people using it for no reason?

I know tunemx created another search function but the search could not be sorted by date... at least it's better than nothing and a lot better than this google search.
If the search messageboard window is unlocked people won't use the search link anymore I guess.

haha yes it is mysql. there are a rather large number of posts though and I beleive the table containing the posts wasn't indexed which is why there are problems now. I beleive phobia and tune are still trying to work it out.

You're right man, honestly I never thought about it.. but I always saw people using the search engine without problems, I read also some tunemx's post where he said we could use it.
Phob: anyway if you don't want people use it, why you don't block it?

I bet you tridenti hatched an evil scheme to bring down XLT so that he could start up his own BOCTOBERBOARD and force people to migrate.

how am I making a bad use of the search feature?
in other words... what can I and cant I do with search feature?
I tend to use it with that link someone posted in a thread months ago
I paste the url to search... is this making xlt bleed?

The search is disabled therefore you are not meant to use it at all, ever, until the new search is available. Not only does it kill the site with overuse it slows the site down for everyone else while you are using it.

I'm guessing the search code uses up a lot of bandwidth, which is why the search is disabled.

When will donators be recieving the refunds to compensate for this inexcusable downtime?
Well.. I suppose I can't help but feel partially responsible making the (2nd) topic that asked about searching... so you are forgiven this time. Just don't let it happen again... I have to post overtime now to make up for all the time I missed.
I'd rather have a search engine than... avatars or something.

I might had missed the thread where you said not to use that link then, cos I thought we had been encouraged to use those links

Guys, I just found this thread where ours Phobiazero informed us with his warnings about the old search engine, now I understood everything about it, I hope more people possible can see this my post, because phobia is deleting all post containing that "address" with search engine. It means we must really stop to use it otherwise the server will die. Cheers.
