LENSMAN: A "search" solution - GoFuckYourself.com

Many other boards allow advanced features, such as search, for paid subscribers only. You should try this. You'd have another revenue stream and better ID of people abusing the system.

Give a free reg option and a paid option, or an upgrade option.

Are you insane?

They make 100k a month off this board thanks to you, me and all the other members. And we should pay to use the search???

Yes.

Would you rather not have search because anonymous idiots abuse the system?

Marcus Aurelius · 04-24-2005, 11:49 AM

I've been suggesting this for months now. Im sure anyone who uses GFY as a valuable business tool, and not just to troll, would gladly pay for the priveledge.

No offense to Lensman and crew but i refuse to pay 1 dollar for the functionality of this forum. Its their responsibility, not mine and with the money this forum makes this shouldnt be a problem.

cant a simple passphrase be used, or am I offbase here?

Yes it could. I dont think the problem is someone abusing the search. I think its just lagging the server because of so many people using it. Thats all. Sorry if im wrong.
If it was simply abuse then a passphrase wouldve been made 6 months ago already to solve that simple problem.

Furious_Female · 04-24-2005, 11:54 AM

I miss the search

emthree · 04-24-2005, 12:30 PM

haha it's gone again???
Gotta love how they half ass shit on this board.

100k a month, where's the moderators and such?

Xplicit · 04-24-2005, 12:44 PM

Theres a huge rotating banner at the top.

Theres multiple small ads at the bottom.

Sometimes the fucking SKIN of this board gets sold.

...so how about just making it work for everyone?

onlyreal · 04-24-2005, 12:46 PM

maybe something different can be done

i think they are taking daily backups of database
may be they can do search system coming late(as it renews cache once a day) and totally run in other server.

Juicy D. Links · 04-24-2005, 12:52 PM

I have access to search , since when was it down? I just did a few searches

FabianC · 04-24-2005, 01:02 PM

Have google power it

Rich · 04-24-2005, 01:02 PM

I'd probably pay for it, especially if there were a forum just for paying members. However Frank makes a good point, they make a fortune from all the page views we generate, they should be able to keep a simple search running. I mean this site makes 100k+ every month, set up a server farm for it if the server is lagging. They can keep google running fast, surely it's possible to keep the GFY working. It's just a matter of spending more on hardware. All these problems with the search are not exactly a great advertisement for whoever hosts this board.

Nysus · 04-24-2005, 01:05 PM

Or just use www.***************.com ...

who · 04-24-2005, 01:07 PM

Yeah, for the money this board makes, I definately wonder where the fuck are all the moderators, when we have people like 'painintheass' hanging around posting crap all day.

I just searched ALL the boards for donovan phillips and donovanphillips and it found 0 results.

That site obviously doesn't do the job.

I'd rather make a script / database solution that downloads GFY's database of threads and searches locally. Perhaps there's a need for this, like ***************.com has done... No way am I willing to pay for a search service. This isn't exactly a premium board that warrants such a thing.

mardigras · 04-24-2005, 01:16 PM

Search cuts into the profit of the board... more page views if someone asks the same question again or is the umpteenth person to post "breaking news"

Not only Donovan looks at it and sees that the search doesn't cut it. Now it won't even load.

Why not test that solution if there is a problem with search? Other big forums have done it.

Flakey at best

I post on a board that is probably twice the size of GFY, and they have no problem providing a free search that works.

the search feature should be no big deal
just add a word verification box to verify you're a human and no bot and done
so easy...

moneybiz · 04-24-2005, 05:08 PM

I dont post alot but I search alot, and I vote for the search function. I think its a great feature.

Babagirls · 04-24-2005, 05:18 PM

i needed the search function yesterday and noticed that it was gone

tony286 · 04-24-2005, 05:35 PM

I would pay , what would it cost for lens to license google search here?

Now search up to 100,000 documents for just $2,995

The Google Mini offers cost-effective, high-quality search for your public website or intranet ? and you can be up and running in less than an hour. Learn more.

Add that son of a bitch to the GFY servers and it would work just fine ;)
