Is it just me, or is the search funtion not working? Whenever I type in ANY keyword, it tells me that nothing has been found. It's been doing this for a few days, but I just now thought to report it. *slaps self* Anyway, any idea what's wrong?

The keyword search function has been disabled, but you should still be able to search for nations...have you tried that?

Damn. No, I haven't tried that, but it won't be particularly helpful.

EDIT: Ah ha, yes, it says search by author...boy do I feel stupid now. :oops:

Anyone have any idea what led them to do such a --- let's be polite now --- peculiar thing? I mean, how does one tell a newbie to "go look it up" when that can't be done? I know the announcement said something about clearing up the boards, but that make no sense to me.

Would a mod or two like to explain what it is removing the search function was for?

It was *supposed* to make the server more stable, which it did not as you can see.

It is all a ploy! They mearly desire to make it impossible for you to check on your favorite threads of old as they slowly delete them!

...Or not...

I imagine they disabled it to save some processing time, it was probably eating CPU cycles like mad having to search through all those posts.

Hmmm, this didn't come out as funny as I thought it would... oh well
