Forum search still sucks arse.

Title says it all. Regardless of what I search for or how, I can NEVER find what I'm looking for. Seriously, we may as well delete any thread that drops of the first page.

Seems to work fine for me. wtf are you searching for and expecting to find?
Feb 08, 2014 Faille Corvelle link
I was looking for the song parodies Rin and CD did a while ago. I tried lyrics, as well as names of posters, but got exactly zero relevant results. Maybe my Search-Fu just sucks even worse than I thought... this was kind of a knee-jerk thread, and can be deleted if a mod can be bothered.

Simply use Google.

Just add site:vendetta-online.com to your search term to restrict Google to search the VO website.

JJPro, you are behind the times. The forum search automatically does that now (although the old search is also available, lower on the search page). So what she's saying is that even google wasn't enough.

Though to be fair, I think one of the threads she was looking for was actually deleted. I searched very damn hard for it last night, even skimmed through most of the threads from that period of time, to no avail. The old search particularly excels at searching for single uncommon words, and even that didn't work. So I'm thinking 80% chance that thread was lost somehow.

If you can give me an idea of what you are searching for, I can have a look. It would be unusual for a thread to be completely lost.

I don't remember what the thread itself was about anymore, but I posted this parody in it. I think I'd written it in response to somebody advising a newbie against going to greyspace or something. CD might have also posted a parody of her own in that thread; I don't recall. (Not the Holding Out for a Pirate one; that was posted elsewhere.)

CD had another SmashMouth parody, "Burnin' for the Sun".

Pizza, do you have a rough idea of when that thread was? I can't find it either, and I don't recall it being the sort of thread that would be deleted. I can look where the search cannot, and a rough date would be helpful.

I made that post around May 15, 2013.

I made some good song parodies once. Of course, I can't find those, either.

Oh wait here's a few that the google found.

I guess forum search doesn't suck arse, since they included the google search option.

OK and here's a new one, since I can do it and NO ONE CAN STOP ME:

(to the tune of Flo Rida's "Good Feeling")

Oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, sometimes I play while drinking, yeah…
I do stuff drinking that I’ve never never never never done before, no no,
I get a good drink on, yeah…
Oh, oh, sometimes I play while drinking, yeah…
I play VO drinking like I’ve never never never never done before, no no,
I get a good drink on, yeah…

Yo [ITAN], doubt I’ll ever leave, I'm running with my clan
Camp me, shoot me, ‘rats in Sedina can't have me
I'll be Commander one day… LT at worst,
Oh you like my gauss ship
Like you the one thinking you’re hot shit in that prom
Now I gotta work on my taunts;
How many more deaths you want?
Yeah - I got a brand new lyric, like the barrel of a gun,
Serco turned up dead and we won
Yeah we’re the winner, the best, #1
Guild in VO, not one to take on.
Who else can say that, besides LeberMac,
Devs know I never leveled with a bot crack,
An Itani boy, always on attack,
Time to do another shot, ASAP!

Oh, oh, sometimes I play while drinking, yeah…
I play VO drinking like I’ve never never never never done before, no no,
I get a a good drink on, yeah…
Oh, oh, sometimes I play while drinking, yeah…
I drink tequila like I’ve never never never never drunk before, no no,
I get a good drink on, drinking, drinking drinking…

Tequila flows, enjoy the slaughter
Turbo power, feels so raw yeah
One second - there before you
Purified Xith, there’s no more for you
Rev the engine, see my tail fin
Say to hell with precaution, gonna get a win
Witness - I got the liver of 20 men
No fear, headin’ to Divinia again.
Time and again, Sercos go down,
You looking at the king wit’ the CtC crown
Stronger than ever - can't stop us now,
All the Serco runnin' to their burial ground.
In grayspace, you’re all prey,
Killing all the red ships in the melee.
Better make way, I can’t fly straight;
See me crashin’ into roids in B-8.

Oh, oh, sometimes I play while drinking, yeah…
I drink tequila like I’ve never never never never drunk before, no no,
I get a good drink on, yeah…
Oh, oh, sometimes I play while drinking, yeah…
I drink and fly like I’ve never never never never flown before, no no,
I get a good drink on, drinking, drinking drinking…

[Techno Bridge]

Let's get it, let's get it
I know you got the tequila,
Let's mix it, let's shoot it
Gotta love the drink that keeps givin’
Let's get it, let's get it
I know you got the tequila,
Let's do it, let's play it
Gotta love the game that we playin'

Oh, oh, sometimes I play while drinking, yeah…
I do stuff drinking that I’ve never never never never done before, no no,
I get a good drink on, yeah…
Oh, oh, sometimes I play while drinking, yeah…
I play VO drinking like I’ve never never never never done before, no no,
I get a good drink on, yeah…

Oh oh oh oh….
