Now that things have died down a little:

The best communities I've been a part of are not crawled by search engines. SEO suicide, but it sure builds community.

Oh, and requires functional search. Either that or a rock-solid archive engine.

Now that they've died down, check your settings. Currently set at 48 hours.

forwardslash is going to love me for adding a setting at the 11th hour, so I can't guarantee that it will make the leap. It might have to be added once again.

I honestly expect to use this almost never, but i also expect to adore it in those rare instances when I do.

Thanks.

It just says filter newbies. It gives no indication as to how long someone on the site is considered a newbie. What are the qualifications?

If you click on 'settings explained' it tells you what it does:

    Posts made from accounts created within the last 48 hours do not appear in your feed.

On the new site, I think settings are explained by clicking on them.

If I can't google site:hubski.com, I don't know how I would ever find anything right now.

if you know who posted it, something like user:_refugee_ anglerfish works pretty well.

That said, the new site has a relational database. So much better for search than files.
