The 12/12 Rule:

Curtails noobs with less than 12 hundred posts or 12 months membership, whichever comes first.

With good behavior limits can be reduced to 999 posts.

With exceptionally good behavior, modesty, truthfulness, respect, and substantive contributions, can be reduced to 6 hundred posts or 6 months.

+1000. Search as it stands is not totally worthless but close.

Hey! When I figure out what you meant by that...

That was an intentional sentence fragment so that MENSA members may chime in.

BTW, did the search function go south with the so-called "upgrade?"

That's how I recollect it.

Another reason why the new forum software sucks...but I suppose it's time to stop whining about it and accept it despite its flaws.

Others have posted this topic in the past. Perhaps if you did a brief search before posting this thread, you would have known this.

There is no point in any new thread, with 105,000 threads in Road Cycling alone I dare anyone to come up with a new thread. It's all been done before. Only thing is, it has to be done again or else this becomes a library not a forum, I think I'll go and build a new bike, or should I search on how to build a new bike, no maybe . . .
