The search here is fvcking pathetic, I search for something like CANUCKS, when I know there was a thread last night about them, and nothing comes up.
Maybe the mods should spend less time pwnting people and more time getting some software that works.
Have you guys read any of the bigger threads in the last few days?
The Mods have nothing to do with the forum design or maintenance. Read their job title, "Moderator", they exist in order to kick ass when and if they deem fit in order to prevent the forums from descending into a maelstrom. Think of them as the Agents.
However it appears as though they do advise the Site Admin, which is another character who administers the forums. This person has the ability to create your Programming forum and perform several other critical forum functions. This person is the Architect.
Unfortunately I don't know who the Architect is but he/she doesn't seem willing to create a Programming forum. So I wouldn't bother the Mods about it, because they can't do anything about it.
As far as the search goes, neither group can take care of that. FuseTalk designed this forum software, FuseTalk can fix it. If you want to see the search fixed, start badgering FuseTalk for it.
Bottom line, stop ripping on the Mods for everything little thing if you don't understand what they can and cannot do. For the most part I think they are a pretty solid group of people, minus one or two, and don't need all of the flak that they get.
I'm done now.
