Adding additional server search features

[PoisonWolf]

Guys,

Just so you know, this suggestion is redundant in itself.

1) Very few people will search by URL (in the way that some of you are claiming that it would be beneficial for). Depending on how it's done, if it's too loose in its algorithm, or too tight, you're most likely not going to find what you want, or will find too many of what you don't want (and we're back to square one). Either way, the only time I see this being useful is if you know the exact URL.

2) If you know the exact URL, what does it matter? Because you'll also most likely know the exact name of the server. Either that or the person has changed both the server name and the server url. Unless of course, if you're out to hunt down servers, by which people will quickly catch on that they can use things like TINY URL to evade and dodge being looked up on.

So in my opinion, this is a waste of effort and time because the final outcome does not differentiate too greatly from what RMS has now and the work needed to get to that point is not "justifiable" in a very pragmatic viewpoint.

Cheers to the creation of TINYURL!

To further prove my point:


The ro server Ressonce RO is not using www.ressonce-ro.com

They are using www.blazing-ro.com



If you google ressoncero.com, you find essenceRo.  By sheer common sense you would think the friend that told you to go on ressonce mistyped and meant essencero.



And this actually happened..  a friend of mine tried to find Ressoncero(idk why), and found essencero instead.  She didn't know they used Blazing-ro.com as their url.



And I agree with hutchy 100%.

If you don't want suggestions whether they are good or bad, or need work, but just shoot them down telling us not to act like staff or what the hell you say, then close the suggestion section.


Close this shitty thing if you don't want us have a say here.

Its pointless to try and prove your point any further yC Has already settled on the fact that it doesn't like you and isn't going to implement any of your suggestions so i guess just stop trying. It's already stated that it is not going to add the suggestion.

ALTHOUGH ITS A GREAT SUGGESTION. But i guess that doesn't matter because its going to take up her precious time so meh.

The effect is that only a handful of people are going to use the function because they want to look for server to ban.

To add on this, only a handful of people use the current server search features, there aren't 100 people constantly 24/7 searching and finding servers.


Adding another feature might make more people use it, and you obviously don't want that yC.





Lastly, Unlimited means unlimited.  Not "a large amount of bandwith".  Unlimited is unlimited.

If you google ressoncero.com, you find essenceRo.  By sheer common sense you would think the friend that told you to go on ressonce mistyped and meant essencero.



And this actually happened..  a friend of mine tried to find Ressoncero(idk why), and found essencero instead.  She didn't know they used Blazing-ro.com as their url.

Your example just shown your suggestion is useless, other than the fact that poisonwolf pointed out.  By searching "Ressoncero" in the server name field, the only result generated is the "Ressoncero" listing.  Why would you want to search for Ressoncero in url to confuse the hell out of your friend.

And I agree with hutchy 100%.

If you don't want suggestions whether they are good or bad, or need work, but just shoot them down telling us not to act like staff or what the hell you say, then close the suggestion section.

This is laughable, don't just look at the suggestion section at the last two days.  Look at the section in the 3 years times.  There were plenty of suggestion that got implemented or alternative solution were provided.  There of course rejects or debates on various suggestions too.  I am not here to please you or anybody, I am here to listen to suggestion that will actually make RMS better.  I can't help if you are offended by being rejected.  I see nothing wrong in accepting or rejecting suggestions, the section will stay open and suggestions are always welcome.  

You do not have to make a big deal or calls me name when your suggestion got rejected, you are not the only one that made a suggestion and got rejected just look around.  Like look just few days ago, http://www.ratemyserver.net/forum/suggestionsrequests/ignore-post-function/0/ no big deal it's a part of life.

I already answered to your suggestion multiple times with others mentioning the function will be useless against .tk or free domain anyway.  There's nothing more should be added to the topic.

Lastly, let's see if there is really an unlimited harddrive in the world.  I am fine with tossing $20 to prove you wrong.  Tell me where to sign up, then I'll sign up for a month, upload a 1gb file and then have a shell script to reproduce the file until the server crash due to out of space.  I'll tell the host "Unlimited is unlimited" and see what they say.
