Can we talk about how hard it is to find old discussion threads?

I spent ages looking for a specific analysis post from last year. Just set up a basic tagging system for our group, and it's already helping. Why do forums make archiving so tough?

Tagging saved me too, blake428, after the same search mess.

Ever try using a forum's search function? It's like asking a goldfish for directions. You type the exact thread title and get three results from 2007 about someone's pet hamster. I swear they design it to hide anything useful. At this point I'd have better luck finding my will to live than that one analysis post from last year.

My forum's search once hid a thread I made myself.
