Just change your robots.txt to allow google to crawl the archives and then simply search for: site:discuss.tucows.com keyword.

Heh.  That might help!

I'm not sure we want search engines crawling the reseller forum. We want to provide search within the forum itself rather than relying on others. Generally we wanted the content of the Forum (even the current archive) to be accessible to all but not to come up prominently in search results to avoid a lot of end-users showing up here where we really can't help them anyway.

Please stop using the search function as a major reason.

Just to be clear, I don't see that as a major reason at all.

My major reason is that Discuss in all it's flavours has been dead as a doornail. We need to inject new life and new voices into it. We've had more posts today on Discuss than we've probably had in the last YEAR and that's not a sign of a healthy community.

Cheers,

Ken Schafer
