Search for nz messageboard, kiwi messageboard, nz games or kiwi webhosting to see why I love this new search engine so much.

[Darkling]

Couldn't resist: "darkling NZ"

...and what do you know?

[kall]

Hahahah!

Well, the bastards ate some 10x what Google did last month, so it's a good thing we are at the top of some results.

[Darkling]

It stands to reason that they will be pulling more bandwidth than Google for the moment anyway as Google is well established, has been spidering for some time, and has a rather healthy cache.

MSN is just starting out and is currently attempting to swallow the entire Internet in one gulp.

Oh God..I have to apply the bloody mod_rewrite hack again.



(Don't mind me...I'm not re-hacking a fresh 3.0.3 , no..not at all).

No no..it's a bit of both.

You hack your forumhome and threadbit templates so that they display an .html address including the name of the thread, then make up an .htaccess that takes the html and converts it to php.

It's running on most, if not all of the styles here...try going to the forum home and clicking a forum/category name and looking at the URI that you get.

[Darkling]

Yeah I've seen that.
Looks odd and and un-vB.

For search engine friendliness, yes?

Let them have the archive. That's what it's there for.

[kall]

That, and Adsense friendliness..hoping for more targetted ads...which you can't see anyway.

[Teelo]

Oh shit that search engine reveals too damn much... I see entries of almost every forum i have ever used, even ones i havent used for a looooong time

I can see that would be important if you're trying to pull in some revenue from targeted advertising.

From the outset project DD is intended to be committed to being advertisement free with the possible exception of competition sponsors and then strictly controlled.
