aziza z Posted February 20, 2008 Share Posted February 20, 2008 this has been bothering me for a while. why the hell do we have a stupid 15 second between searches thing? its extremely stupid and annoying. If u put in something that yields no results it makes u wait to search again. Very annoying especially if u spell something wrong. For all the people that get yelled at to search for something and have to run into this stupid feature, it really doesn't encourage them to search at all.

SteelToad Posted February 20, 2008 Share Posted February 20, 2008 I can count at least four ways your request is inappropriately presented. It is probably there to stop bot's from scavenging the site. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
garvice Posted February 20, 2008 Share Posted February 20, 2008 It is probably there to stop bot's from scavenging the site they have a image feature for that. I have been annoyed more than once as well. Perhaps even if we just put it down to about 5 seconds. or better yet, put it down to 5 seconds and instead of loading the page saying you have 3 seconds to wait, just delay the results by the remaining time. Doable? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jtmny1999 Posted February 20, 2008 Share Posted February 20, 2008 just use the google search its better anyways Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
rudypoochris Posted February 20, 2008 Share Posted February 20, 2008 just use the google search its better anyways How? Type the query and "hybridz"? I always thought the feature was to prevent the servers from becoming swamped. I would imagine it must be hard to process all these search requests. I also agree you could have been a bit more tactful. Heh. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Lazeum Posted February 20, 2008 Share Posted February 20, 2008 To search, I'm using Google as well. To make a search about valve cover for instance, I put the following code into Google. site:http://forums.hybridz.org "valve cover" http://www.evolutionm.net is using the same forum engine. We do have the 15 seconds feature as well. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If you will start to capitalize your sentences and please use proper grammar, not IM format, (using “u†instead of “youâ€), I’ll look into this for you, no guarantees that I can fix it or alter it, but I will at least make an effort if you will. http://forums.hybridz.org/showthread.php?t=115824 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JMortensen Posted February 20, 2008 Share Posted February 20, 2008 I think there is a reason for that time delay and it has to do with people sending bots to search 1,000,000 things at a time and taking the whole forum down. You really can't wait 15 seconds? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

SteelToad Posted February 20, 2008 Share Posted February 20, 2008 no i cant. Has Aziza's account been hijacked. Ive read other messages from him, usually polite and courteous. This doesn't sound the same. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JustinOlson Posted February 20, 2008 Share Posted February 20, 2008 How about a time dependent search based on amount of donation. Those that pay don't have to wait to search again. Justin Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest 280ZForce Posted February 20, 2008 Share Posted February 20, 2008 Has Aziza's account been hijacked. Ive read other messages from him, usually polite and courteous. This doesn't sound the same. I think it's the fact he is in a mad rush and a bit impatient to get his car repaired in time for dyno tuning and for a movie filming, since he was honored a spot for his car to appear in the new F&F 4, but unfortunately a freeway trip and a faulty wheel spacer caused some issues and sent his wheel flying off when he was doing 75 mph and it caused him some damage this he has basically a week or less to fix. Matt - patience grasshopper. Good things will come. trust me I have learned the hard way. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dat260 Posted February 20, 2008 Share Posted February 20, 2008 Its not that this time he is rude or uncourteous, he is just a member of what I call "the techno kid generation". When I started using computers we had 12'' floppys. When I booted the computer I had time to go make coffee and a sandwich. Today, computers are so fast and efficient that, we as human beings, are developing very low patience and tolerance levels, its crazy. My nephew who is 12 years old and claims to be a "multi tasker expert" he cannot even sit down and enjoy breakfast let alone read a book. The faster computers are getting the quicker we expect to get a response. Did anybody notice (from the 50's 60's generation) when you walk in a store you rarely get a " Hi, how are you. Can I help you with anything? Let me know if you need something". You pratically have to pick your item walk up to the cash and pay with plastic and you get a faint "Thank You" from a human being who sometime behaves like a robot. We are living in a antipersonal society and it is going to get worst, that it is. I understand Aziza and I do not blame him he is a member of the tecno kid generation. He is cultured to it. I am of the old school and when a computer make me wait I do not expect anything from it. I just say "what a stupid machine". Therfore I do as much as possible manualy and that is the way I like it. Anyways, just my 2 cents on this 15 sec anguish. Cheers, Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Six_Shooter Posted February 21, 2008 Share Posted February 21, 2008 I agree that there are some societal aspects to this, but I also dislike the 15 second wait deal, and even more annoying when the page loads saying that you need to wait 3 seconds, or 2, I haven't personally seen a 1 second before searching page yet, but I'm sure it will happen, and will be even more annoying. At least it's not 20 seconds like another forum I'm on. Microwaves are just not quick enough. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
COZY Z COLE Posted February 21, 2008 Share Posted February 21, 2008 Before anyone else comments on what they think he originally posted or the original title of this thread that I edited out, there is no excuse for what he had posted...PERIOD. That's all I'll say on this subject. LARRY Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

dr_hunt Posted February 21, 2008 Share Posted February 21, 2008 We are getting new hardware, through donations to hybridz. So if you haven't donated to hybridz then don't complain!! It's really that simple, until you all help fund this site then I don't really like hearing what you want, like and dislike about it. That may seem alittle rough but look where you are when your complaining and look at the bold blue names and/or the yellow bar underneath those names. Bold blue names are those that help keep this place running, the rest of you enjoy our donations and SuperDans time and money as well. Hardly seems fair to me to have to listen to your complaints when you haven't donated. So, if you post a complaint about hardware or software issues and you haven't donated, then do so!
