Dunno if it's only me or a widespread problem. (assuming only me due to the lack of topics when I manually searched) But whenever I try to search for something within the forums, using the search bar, it'll keep loading for a minute or two before eventually giving me error 500. Which is really bothersome since I really don't want to skim the forums page by page to find what I need.
It's not just you. I just tried to search also and it's happening to me as well.

The forum search has been broken for some time due to how the database is structured, it can rarely complete in a timely manner.

Most of us have been using Google with "site:byond.com" before the search.
Huh, I'll have to try that out, thanks for the tip.
