1 thing i noticed though is like, type in member dinner, and you see a link to TD about our forum member dinner comming up, when you click the link (any link) it takes you to the forum, not to the thread.......is it supposed to do that?
Hmmm, do you use a content management system on your forum?

How many forums are indexed?

One thing that really stood out to me was repetitive results...When I would search for a certain keyword, 95% of the results would seem to be from the same site. When I searched for "vbulletin", most were from vbulletin.com, when I searched for "admin", most results were from TAZ.

I know a lot of that is due to the fact that there are not many forums indexed, although, even just between the 3 of our forums (vbulletin.com, TAZ, and AF), we should be splitting up the results for those terms much better than 95%, 3%, and 2%...you know?

(thanks for adding us )

PHP Coding Forums?

There's a lot of role playing forums (Text based role play). What about non-resource graphic forums?

Not to sound biased, but there's also a fair amount of anime/animation/cartoon sites.

Yeah, I see what you are talking about, looks like the crawler grabbed a string of a modified link somewhere, it might be the SEO software that is doing this to help increase your rankings with Google and such. Are algorithms are a little different then the other search engines, so the forums don't have to be Search Engine friendly.

As of right now there are only 86 sites indexed, we are not out crawling the web as of yet, but we did add Adminfusion, vBulletin and a handful of others to the list to crawl.

Once we finish with the all the algorithms for the spider and we are happy with the results we will start crawling all the forums on the net and increase our depth of crawl.

Like with any new system we need to crawl a little before we actually walk, hmmm, well, since this is a search engine I guess we will always crawl.

No, your not sounding bias at all, there are millions of forums out there, we are changing the categories around as sites are submitted. Within a few weeks time the categories section of the site will be much different. Right now we just wanted to put a few up there to get started.

The site is not even a full 24 hours old yet.

-----

FYI, all the sites that are manually submitted to get crawled will get placed in the categories section, which is static. Crawled sites won't get placed in the categories section. We do plan on charging for these static slots down the road, but whoever gets in there now stays in there for good. Especially the people providing us with this great feedback!

It sure is, but the spider right out of the box is really slow and to be honest with almost worthless. It would never work for a high volume engine.
