    Probably because there are more important things on their agenda.
    You need to understand that they aren't robots, they are human beings who have lives outside of Gamerenders.

    This is from a post of mine in a topic similar to this a while back

    ----------------------------

    The reason this is so is because the way that ipb searches. I'm assuming its using fulltext searches. These are done with the mysql database and these are the limitation's on them
    • Strings (what you're searching for) are broken down into their individual keywords (ie. when you search Red Hot Chili Peppers it searches for Red Hot Chili Peppers separatly
    • Keywords that are less than 4 characters long are ignored
    • Very popular words, called stopwords, are ignored
    • If more than 50% of the records match the keywords than no records are returned
    From my MySQL book

    These are limitations the actual database is placing on the searching, not something that is set. In other words, it can't be changed.

    We would, but we can't ;)

    Yea you're one to talk. You don't know what we have going on in our lives.

    Shut it and move on.
