Petition to bring back the SEARCH on GFY - show your support - GoFuckYourself.com

kush · 08-14-2001, 01:07 AM

GFY's search feature was really an excellent tool. There have been some really hot topics on this thread where really valuable information has been discussed and shared. It also saved on redundant posts and kept the board fresh and interesting. I know Lens and Wizzo that you guys said that it slowed down the board, but there has to be some way to work around this - some sort of compromise.

I'm sure I'm not alone here on this... I would say a majority of webmasters benefit more from HAVING the search than from NOT HAVING the search.

So respond here to show Lensman and Wizzo how great this SEARCH feature really was, and maybe - just maybe- we can bring it back!

Bring it back, please!!

A slow board is a lot better then tonnes of fucking stupid questions.

Please bring it back.

fever · 08-14-2001, 01:10 AM

Must agree with above, the search-function as needed!

It also was causing strain on the hardware that they are trying to work around too...

Having a forum with sub forums to move the informative thread once every few weeks... LOCKED threads would offer the info area and deletion of the extreme past of say 30+ days back would lighten some load on the hardware as well.

Now to get people to search instead of just ask and expect someone to answer for the jillionth time...

Now to get the gfy oldtimers to read all the posts and they would know the problems that occured as well... *jab Kush in ribs*

danevans · 08-14-2001, 02:37 AM

Soul_Rebel mentioned google, and it has spidered a good part of this board indeed, but not yet all the late topics so,
please get the search back..

B40 · 08-14-2001, 02:56 AM

Bring it back to prevent the same questions being asked again and again....

But we do need to give them time to figure it all out. Lens has some of the top guys in the biz so one of them will come up with something. That or its Taaaa Taaaa Taaaa Daaaa

And Super Wizzo will Leap over TALL buildings, stop speeding trains and fly faster than a bullet to save the day!

Translations:
Fall out of a tall building and explain on the ground he misjudged his leap OVER said building...

drive his car onto the tracks and get out in time to explain he needed to stop the train as there are washed out tracks ahead of it (he had 2 too many beers at a party and walked down the tracks to relieve himself and washed them out himself)

And if someone were shooting at YOU, wouldn't you try to out run that darned bullet? He's just quicker than most!

If he would just stick to single women he wouldn't get thrown out of buildings or shot at! Beyond help on the beer thing I think. lol

It was handy.. anyway I can live without it.

do you need preggos traffic?

dynamite · 08-14-2001, 07:16 AM

Yep, bring it back. There is a lot of info on this board and without search is a lot harder to find something! Google is really slow in indexing, so we need Search back!

Theo · 08-14-2001, 07:25 AM

there are plenty of other boards MUCH bigger,with tons of more posts and they don't face problems with the search as far as I know. Porncity has an excellent search and you can reach messages 2 or more years old in few seconds.

Jamdin · 08-14-2001, 07:38 AM

Yes, please bring back the search. I use it when I need some info that I know had been posted before. I do the same at PornCity and other bbs.

what about if i create an archive with everything posted on GFY and charge you through a dialer?

kush · 08-15-2001, 12:10 PM

So does anybody know how exactly to phrase their search with Google to get results from the board?

I've tried stuff like "bbs.gofuckyourself.com MYSEARCHTOPIC"
or
"gofuckyourself.com MYSEARCHTOPIC"
but to little avail.

How are you successful GFY searchers doing this???

Lensman · 08-15-2001, 12:14 PM

We are bring it back, the problem is that the old search slowed the board down too much.

Gemini · 08-15-2001, 12:21 PM

Have to go to advanced search at google, enter http://bbs.gof*ckyourself,com and enter a list of terms in the any words box too.

Oh and don't censor the url of course.

harvey · 08-15-2001, 04:54 PM

Maybe you'd delete some posts (let's say older than a year) and maybe delete those useless, it would speed up the process quite a bit (but it would take some work, so...)
Anyway, please bring it back!

Peace

Searching on UBB is very slow compared to other boards, even free ones like PHPBB - http://www.phpbb.com/ ... I suggest you to try their forums and compare the speed!
