Why so long between searches?
 

How come we have to wait so long between searching? It's a pain if you do a typo the first time. It seems like lowering this amount of time between searches would cut back and multiple threads popping up.

Anyone have thoughts on this?

Resource hog?

it's an idea to speed up searches for registered members (or even a rating amongst them)

Good point.

helps prevent ddos attacks

60 seconds per search is ridiculous, might as well disable the search, finding anything takes forever with the 60 second delay...

what are you complaining about this is my search allowance:helpme

This forum requires that you wait 120 seconds between searches. Please try again in 109 seconds.

Every other site seems to cope without a 60 second limit, its the highest ive seen anywhere and gfy is a baby in terms of traffic really.

I thought he either doesn't know, or is joking.
Didn't care like bringing it up, but since you already did....

The search time is indeed too long :(

Yup, New age, I remember MSdos attacks were popular in 80' and 90' :)

120 is excessive...
