Well I most surely believe that you have good reason for making people pay for the search feature. One thing I would suggest is that you mention this community-supporter-thing on the error page that is displayed when one tries to search. That "permission denied" screen simply looked like a forum bug to me :)

The error screens are "hard coded" into VBulletin and can't be customized. However, as you can see I've put the reason for the block onto the screens of the default forums (not *all* forums Art).

As others have stated, the search feature is blocked because it is very processor intensive. If everyone could run searches, the server would crash under the weight.
 





Ah, the paradox lies thus: If the server goes on said "diet", the usefulness of said Search feature decreases, C'est vrai, n'est ce pas? (My apologies to actual French speakers :) )

What we need is someone who has absolutely no life, with no will to do anything outsided of breathe, read, and sleep, and who will search all the threads since January of 2002 to earmark all threads possessing no content of archivable merit, so as to weed them out.

For free. :)

Make it a contest. The person who locates the most "no archivable merit" threads gets a prize. A lot of people will do the work, and you only have to pay one of them. :D

If Life is inversely proportional to post count, maybe we can ask Crothian. :D

OK - No offense to Crothian or anything. But seriously, what kind of criteria are you looking for in regards to no content threads? Maybe we could get a small group of people together that would be willing to help a bit.
