Search Speed Limit?
Why is there a speed limit for searching? Or why is it set at 30 seconds? If I'm looking for something, and I have no results, I have to wait 30 seconds to try again. I understand why you would want a posting speed limit, but for searching?
Maybe reducing it down to 10 seconds would be better.

Ok, makes sense, but 30 seconds? If a hacker is using a spam bot or something automated like that, 10-15 seconds would prevent it to. But then again, a bot wouldn't care if it didn't receive any content, it would just keep searching. Now, a spam bot programmed to fill threads by posting would be a different matter.
Wait!! you told me it was 15K!!

What do you think about starting a donation drive for the site improvement fund? With so many thousands of active members, $1 from each one would go a long way towards new IT. When a purchase is made from the DTR store, there could be a donation option, much like the campaign donation option we get on our 1040s.
You guys are so nice and helpful on the phone, I bet most members who buy something would be happy to make a contribution to DTR...
Though I don't know of an efficient way to receive $1 each from well over 30K members, I'd wager most would gladly donate such a token amount.

I try to donate $25 every other month... someone had mentioned a DTR lottery, 5 bucks a 'ticket', drawing every month, winner gets the pot, minus 5-10% that goes to the DTR. ?????

First I want to say that I LOVE THIS SITE. Second, I offer up my free time to help with the forums or any other aspect of the web site. I work in computers all day long, and am willing to do whatever needs to be done. I can help come up with a resolution to the 30 second search speed limit. I know I haven't been a member long but I will do what I can. Thanks.
