Why is the boards search function disabled?

[andrek]

Sorry admin for asking this in my very first post.

I mean for those of the WWW who are not registrated? I am writing a daily newspaper article about Helmut Lent. The only chance to search this board is to register. What do you have to hide or do you host illegal content for example for visitors from austria, germany or italy?

Dear Adrek,

It was simply a preference of mine when I set up the forum software.

There are pros en cons to both sides of this matter, I chose to limit the function to those people who actually bother to register. Besides you can conduct a search through the forum with any standard Internet search engine like Google or Yahoo.

Nothing to hide, nor illegal, just my choice of what I think suits the forum best. In the end, although I (with my co-moderators) run a reasonably laissez faire community, it isn't a democracy. Community driven, but not community owned.
