Is it me or does GFY really suck without Search?

10-15-2007, 06:35 PM

Shit flies off the front page pretty quick and if you can't use search it really sucks.

I wonder if they are going to fix it or if this is their solution to making the site actually load in less than 20 seconds?

yes it sucks trying to find gallery submitters without the search tool for sure. If you know any good ones let me know.

exactly, a forum is a stupid place in the first place to use a resource site. I post stuff and it is gone in a couple days, but at least you could always use the search to find a few diamonds in the ruff. Now, its totally useless imo. If someone does post something good you are likely to miss it.

Also you going to see a lot more threads started with people askign the same questions since they can't use the search function to find similar threads from a couple days before.

this sucks

They should get a few more servers and a good load balancer and then optimize all MySQL queries, re-index the db, add more ram and tweak the php.ini to get decent performance... The feature I miss the most is the New Post and the search of course.

Go to google and you can somewhat search gfy that way but just doing:

(search term) site:www.gofuckyourself.com

example: will76 site:www.gofuckyourself.com

Not a perfect solution, but I use it on a few big forums where the search always times out.

haha you know i was just doing that. How sad is that. This site makes well over 1 million dollars a year and they can't even make it managable to post here. Shit i would rather go back to the 30 second page loads with the search feature then have no search.

You cant find anything on here now.

This no search thing is pretty fucked up. Pissing me off actually. It's gotta be the stupidest thing ever to remove from a message board. As a newbie, the search feature on GFY was very valuable to me. There's just some things google couldn't answer for me as well as a GFY search. And I don't like any of the other bootleg boards because they act like a bunch of stuck-up prissies when I ask newbie questions. God damn it! Bring the search back!

Not that much faster here, either...

Typically, I've posted as I've found a minute here or there throughout the day - never really paying all that much attention to where those threads are - and relied on the search feature later that evening to check back on any threads I might have posted in.

I'm sure there are a dozen+ threads by now that I've suddenly dropped convo in... I'm sure I'm not the only one.

Part of the cohesion of GFY is falling apart, imho. Bandwidth isn't going to be an issue if there aren't as many users around.

Bandwidth isn't the issue to start with. The issue involves a very large database getting whacked endlessly by people and their bots looking for their names to make sure people aren't saying bad things about them or their programs.

Apparently the average GFY user is making one hell of a bunch of searches every day, which requires more and more computing horsepower to take care of. At some point, unless the DBs are clones or otherwise multiplexed, you reach the point of quickly diminishing returns.

Google indexes GFY don't they? So there's your search.

As for the very large DB. Why not archive those old posts?

Using search to find info is way better than every man and his dog asking the very questions they could have found the answers to by searching.

1)Delete posts earlier than a certain date (where the info is likely outdated)
2)Remove the "search by user name" and keep the search by word.
3)Delete as many useless whoring threads as possible.
