Ross has updated the search engine so that it now works much more effectively. If you search for a phrase, it will now match by relevance rather than give you an alphabetical listing of anything containing a single word from that phrase. In order words, you will be able to find stuff a lot easier! The best part is, the new search is less CPU intensive on our end, so it slightly improves server performance!
I am currently brain-storming some ideas to make the BBS a little faster for everyone, too. We might simplify the layout of the messages a bit, and leave more of the extra info (and images) in the user profiles. If nothing speeds up the server, it will at least download faster and give us a little less image-load.
There has been some funny stuff uploaded lately. This Mike Tyson cartoon makes good use of the original NES sprites, while Frogbag Gets His License makes great use of the Parappa the Rappa soundtrack! Ya know, we have a lot of frog-related Flash submissions... Hmmmmm....
Finally, check it out! Eric Clapton is in our webcam portal!
Next up: Synj and I will introduce our new game! I pray!
