you have to take into account that there is usually between 1000 and 3000 people online and the search function is taking nonstop abuse. if you want to search RC, go to google and after entering your search click on 'advanced search' and enter 'reefcentral.com' under the 'Search within a site or domain" heading. this gives you loads of links to the forum and their archives.


not trying to take anything away from the search engine here but i hear a lot of people say the same thing about searching RC and it's so simple.

You can do the same google search without advanced search by including "domain:reefcentral.com" anywhere in the search.

ie - dendro domain:reefcentral.com

I'm a premium member at RC and the search nearly never fails. Very rare.

Regarding the people over there though...it seems to me the really opinionated and elitist posters post much more often than the normal folk. This really inflates that sense that the board is overrun. I think for the massive userbase it's still pretty good. I enjoy browsing canreef a lot more but RC is so massive that it's very useful. Without premium search I doubt I'd go there much though.

I first started on thsi board with a tonne of questions and the reference libraries put together by Myka and ChristyF5 were pretty much the reason I was on here every day.

so they get you hooked early on.
