Someone once said (or I may be paraphrasing)

"This forum was gifted with a few things; the ability to understand sarcasm is not one of them"

Though, if you are doing like 5 searches in 20 seconds, that on a DB that contains 1.2 million posts..have fun with the overloading.

I visit other forums(that have a lot more activity and threads) and they just lowered it to 10 seconds. It's godsend.

www.google.com

30-second wait for searching site:forums.graalonline.com

I don't get what you're trying to say?
That because google has a wait limit it's fine to have one?

Nope, he means that you open google.com

and write this in: "site:forums.graalonline.com <keywords>"

for example:

Click here

Oh, he meant do a google search on it...
Okay, still not following?

Oh, and you posted a link, Vulcan. Please go directly to jail. Do not collect money on passing GO.

You don't have to use the forum's search feature when you have Google!

Heh, what a lame excuse.

omigod ur so kool.

If we can do this, disable search completely, Vulcan clearly believes it is inferior to the awesome searching capabilities that is Google.

According too vBulletin staff, the "strain" put on the server when searching is close to null, and would only be noticeable if youre hosting the forum on a server from the late 90's.

I doubt thats the case here, so just remove the search limit or put it to 5 seconds to prevent bots from having fun, please?

Any comment from the admins and moderators?

It's safe to say no one gives a damn.


Which is sad, seeing as there's no real drawback to shortening the wait.
