    Alpha,
    Is there somewhere where active discussion of the development of Opinion, other than that main page you linked to? I'd love to read more about it, but I can't seem to find much from the leetsoft page.

    Yup, but it isn't public knowledge yet. I'd reccomend checking out the sourcecode from subversion and reading up on it

    Well, I noticed a slight error in that rundown on the last page. This forum could search for three letter words. Trust me.

    And I fervently hope the new forum software can also search for three letter words.

    Yeah, I mixed it up. It's MySQL's full-text search that defaults to a minimum word length of 4 characters. PhpBB allowed searching for three-letter words ever since version 2.0.1.

    What happened April 1 last year?

    Man I miss the search function so much. I never knew I used it so often on any forums, let alone the PA ones, until this.

    The forums had a pallet swap from blue/grey to grey/darker grey with grey text, and mods became ninjas, killing forumers at random, causing their text to fade from grey to lighter grey. The streets ran red from the blood of my eyes bleeding from all the fucking grey! And of course, in true PA fashion, April first here stretched on for about five or six days. It was fucking miserable, and as far as I could tell, the only people having fun were the mods.

    Now that searching is gone, how about making this year's April Fools involve a scavenger hunt into threads that have fallen into the 20th page or so?

    Honestly the only part that pissed me off is that it broke everyone's bbCode.

    well, the only reason it stretched on was that alpha had some unexpected guests that kept him occupied.

    Are we basically expecting the search function back any day now, with the new hardware already there, if it's all gone to schedule?

    I hate to keep pushing questions, I love alpha as much as the next person, just wondering. :)

    So searching is going to be removed from our phpBB powered forum permanently.
    That's from the first post in this thread. We'll get the search function when we get the new forum, and "any day now" may be a slightly optimistic time frame for that.

    In the mean time alpha has been doing(and I expect he will continue to do) a terrific job at keeping this forum alive. You will just have to learn to live without the search function.

    I know. :) It's a luxury, not a necessity. Alpha is doing a terrific job of keeping the forums running, and I can't thank him enough. I've e-mailed him about it but I have a feeling he gets so many e-mails about that it's just an annoyance at this point. My question was just to when the new forums/search function was coming, which you just answered, thanks. :)
