@Sythe, shelved & vb4.

Hey guys,

RE: Shelved suggestions with 'vb4 is coming excuse'.

If someone wants to make a list of these and put up a thread, we can sort out which are the good suggestions from the bad and implement the good ones. I have time at the moment.

All I could find, probably skipped past a couple/misinterpreted a couple, but here's a start. Might as well stick them here.

 

Yeah it would be nice to get the search function back up and running, if the servers can bear it that is.

I think notifications for infractions are important. Infractions only work was warnings if the person knows about them. Full support on that one.

Good work Roary in compiling all these threads!

 

Ok thanks for compiling a list. I will get to work on these.

 

Search & high donation perks & time format.

IMHO Time Format is a must. Some people really confuse, even moh once.

The time format is alright, what I'd like to see done is the dates changed so we aren't all trying to decipher the american format of Month-Day-Year, where a lot of other places use Day-Month-Year

That's the time format suggestion, that's what I'm saying is a must.

EDIT: OH I get you know, yeah, I was referring to this, not really the time suggestion of that list.

My mistake. We need the date format suggestion!

There are a lot of posts on this forum. For search to work without gumming everything up we'd need to prune extensively. I have done this (pruning) previously and it was disastrous for our Google rankings. After I restored the pruned threads our ranking slowly came back up.

It's not a matter of just getting more servers. We already have 6 core servers. The bottleneck is IO. You want anyone to come in and search 10gb of database on a whim, it takes a lot of IO, and we need all the IO we have to just run the site normally.

I'm not magic. I can't just make it work.

You archive old threads so they are not apart of the search?

Still a lot of posts.

Do people really miss search that much? I mean I always just use google with site:sythe.org when I want to find something.

Same here.. I don't really see the point in search when Google is so simple.

It just isn't the same, perhaps have it enabled for a certain tier of donators?


although to be quite honest i only used it to search for myself ;d
