There still is no explanation why other things and names can be going back to 2006, but a search on Ron Paul will only get you back two weeks.
So invent an explanation? Is that the tactic? :geek:
Huh? Why is it things you say seem to be out is space lately?
I do not understand what you are referencing and what you are trying to say.

Yep. Mostly broke.
U GOT THAT RIGHT. Except maybe Colin. That guy's rolling in greenbacks. Kidding.

Sorry I wasn't more clear. You are puzzled, as we all are, that the search function here won't bring up recent results for "Ron Paul." The rest of us go, "Oh that's curious... funny how so often internet forum software has glitches." But you seem to want to invent an explanation that involves Colin nefariously (and very, very impressively, I might add) going into the forum software and altering the dates that come up when someone searches for RP.

It's just funny how some minds want to go for the conspiracy theory bit, assuming that there is all kinds of intricate collusion going on behind the scenes everywhere, when the real truth about the world (whether we're talking about the IAC forums or the World Trade Center) is that collusion does happen, but usually quite overtly and clumsily. Except in Hollywood.

Hope that's clear and not too spacey for you down here on Earth.

I don't think Colin changed any software.
I said
"I am going to place my bets on this.
They were getting way too many Internet users stumbling upon the site because of the number of people who search for info on Ron Paul or they were getting hit with spam over it."
From what I have heard websites and forums have to deal with spam, attacks, webots, all the time. It is not far fetched. The odds that a software glitch would effect the searching of one mans name and not other names is kinda slim.
It's just funny how some minds want to shoot down someone else's actions all the time.
