This is possibly heresy

This is where you can discuss your homework, family, just about anything, make strange sounds and otherwise discuss things which are really not related to the Lancer-series. Yes that means you can discuss other games.

Does anyone else think Google isn't as great as it used to be? I don't have any proof, I just feel it. It's almost like they put some sort of filter on the results.

perhaps its some sort of conspiricy by some shadowy group plotting to overthrow world goverments by controlling the media.


um.... i think ive been playing Deus ex too much

To tell you the truth, I haven't really noticed anything... Works fine for me.
What do you mean by "not as great"? Maybe they just started grouping the results more than before (you know the "click here for more results from <insert site name here>. Time will tell...


Careful what you wish... You just might get it.

Yeah I hope you're right :S I have to see Google slipping...

Post Mon Jan 19, 2004 10:05 am

maybe its because everywhere we see "ads by google" and google own SHAGLOADS of stuff now, the subtle ownership of web technologies that mean you use them far more than you thought.

also, anything that is so widely used CANT be a good thing? could it?

indie kids archie?

Post Mon Jan 19, 2004 10:24 am

I don't use that thing anyway, or any of the others. I use Webferret Pro 5, it is the only search engine I consider worth using.

@ff: you were never an indie kid then, no matter. To tell you would kind of defeat the purpose. Like fight clubs first two rules

I think ff means Indy is kidding Archy. And if he doesn't, I do.

You know, Wolfy, you never cease to amaze me.
I had to read your post 5 times to understand it... It's a new record.

Post Mon Jan 19, 2004 3:17 pm

I agree, Google does seem to be going downhill. "ez2www.com" is alright though, but I'm not a big fan of meta-search engines.

ff - I agree with you. It's definately the Illuminati!

i am among the 5[% with DSL that doesnt want pictures with the news posts on the home page

Post Mon Jan 19, 2004 4:01 pm

wolfy, you are bizzare, are you a clone of nickless at all?

Post Tue Jan 20, 2004 12:40 am

Hey, don't insult me, I use punctuation and type in understandable laguage, well, most of the time anyways.
I must admit though, I only have to read wolfies posts once or twice to understand it. Omg, what does that say about me?

Edit: Damn spelling.
