You have to be a little creative with Google to make it work.

For instance. To find all posts with the word Clovie in, but not posts by Clovie, search for clovie -"Registered: Dec 2003" inurl:html

i've putted that line ^ into google thing.. and i got some thread in star wars forum 😑

Yeah, I found out in the Anime/Manga forum. I tried searching poem but it wouldn't work. No worry though, it was only on the third page. 🙂

Hey, Raz is back! Wait, did you go away again or something or you been back ages...?

Delete the OTF, remake it, and elt all the "old" but active threads start again.

I think the Google search is indeed beyond creativity; I've never had a successful search with it.

Mind you, VB was only 50/50.

Deleting the OTF sounds pretty silly IMO. There's no reason to delete an entire forum. I can very well say the same, only use argument as well, see?

Delete James Bond, religious forum and a lot of other forums like the Religion forum that get very few visitors and posts in comparison to the OTF. It's one of the most active, if not THE most active part of KMC. 😬

Kind of hard to use Google when you're trying to determine weither or not to close a thread because it's been done before.

cant raz just delete threads that serve no purpose anymore? delete half the off topic forum

It also causes the most problems.

I think I've maybe once in the google search found what I was looking for, and that's with using creative keywords and such... 😬

really? coz i never got anything while using it 🙁 it doesn't take chronology into consideration at all.

Well, the thread I was looking for at the time was something oddly named and that I had posted in a long time ago (under my original username), so I was able to trick it into finding it for me 😬

trick being the keyword i s'posse 🙄

Guess so 😂

Well removing the search button, will only cause more problems, since now people will make billions of more threads, because either they can't find the old one, or they don't know one has been made. I say take off the google search witch no one, really knows about or uses/it don't really work anyway.

It's also the one with the most posts. The one with most posters, the one with the most traffic. I'm sure KMC would survive just fine without it, but i wouldn't be surprised if a lot of people left 😬
