Question for lack

[The1exile]

Can't we get one of them built in fireworks search gimmicks for CC, or are the forums not set up to be read that way? Even if they're not,it should (theoretically) be easy enough to route it through google, searching only the CC namespace. I think it would clear up a lot of problems with people not knowing how to search.

(I mean the search box in the upper left, for people who don't know what I'm rambling about).

Now this I know from the beginning of 2006 the reason is he has to prioritize the list of things to do, unfortunately many good ideas would take too long to program, after all lack is only a superhuman turtle and they can only do so much in a week. As general happenings slow down this process he has to decide at that time what he should program and what, for now, is unimportant. Eventually, I expect, he will get a staff team and then he will be able to program the longer programming projects

Where the hell have you been?!?

Just thinking that myself - haven't seen you about for a while max.

Back on topic: Lack is a fantastic administrator/webmaster. He does such a wonderful job that who are we to criticise his occassional flaws? And you can bet your bottom dollar that he works his ass of trying to programme as much as possible. Let the power of the turtle be eternal because it is wonderful!

And I deserve a free premium extension just for saying that!

I don't know Exile. A better search engine would definitely be nice. I know this one it tied into the phpbb software, which lack doesn't like to hack into if he can avoid it. Not being the resident geeky guru, I can't say if another search engine would work, but it might be worth a suggestion if you want to go that route?

And to further clarify.... here are the steps to take if you have an issue that needs attention.

If you have an issue with the forums, do the following, in order...
1. Read Guidelines and searchforum, since the issue may have already been reported or answered.
2. Check FAQ
3. PM the specific moderator of that forum (listed at top of each one)
4. PM Twill

If you have an issue with the site, whether it's game-related (e.g. Feedback), account-related (e.g. Multi appeals) or you need technical assistance (e.g. game bug), do the following, in order...
1. Check FAQ
2. Fill out an eticket

If you have an issue with Live Chat, do the following, in order...
1. Check FAQ
2. PM a Live Chat Moderator (Clapper011, bedub1, wicked, Twill)

We have people assigned to cover all these tasks and answer all your questions (and none of them are Lack!). By going through the right channels, your issue will be resolved more quickly. If you PM Lack, it only gets buried in his inbox until he can forward it to one of us. So cut out the middle man and go right to who can help you quickly.

This exact text should be included somewhere on the website or in an email to new members (and for now, current ones as well). This is a great flow chart.

Good idea Night Strike. I copied it over to the Q&A board for more visibility and added some direct links as well:
