Whatever you do Brett, I hope it works. I can tell you that it is somewhat baffling to me after talking with notsleepy, seth, oil and jatar_k outside the bar one night about a search function. What I kept hearing was that a search function was soooo difficult to pull off and with the exception of the Supporters forum, at least we could use Google, so this really sucks.

With regard to new members, I found this via word of mouth 3 years ago. With blogs, WW gets even more play, so that is probably a wash.

Its not like this place will fall apart in 60-90 days, but I hope you are testing this with a goal in mind. Not sure though, since you and DaveN seem to be on different pages and I would have expected your mods to be in this with you from the start, or at least willing to give it a chance. Making decisions of this magnitude without your mods is foolish and arrogant, especially when you want this to out live you. Without good mods it doesnt stand a chance, and without search, you will wear out your mods. Losing your mods from this community, but past and present, is not something you can afford.

I wonder if somepeople are just wanked that their profile will no longer pass pr? So it comes back to their inability to game google through webmasterworld. interesting... this must be what G feels like during an update. lol

This is the only thing that really irked me in this thread. We have good reasons to be wanked, so that was a cheap shot. Like many others, I havent put anything in a profile. Up until last week at PubCon, and outside of my supporters registration, my ID was completely seperate from my online nic.

Best of luck with this and Happy Thanksgiving.
