I would *love* to make a search engine for the forum though. It has always been one of my pet peeves and I think it would be much more useful than what is essentially a decentralized backup of the forum, given that Google and the built-in search are terrible at finding posts in large topics.

You mean like Ninjastic Search? If you want to build another search engine, I'd be more than happy to get you a downloadable archive with 60-ish million posts (in separate files)

Creating a good search system is very complex and difficult to do. It took Google years to get to the point where we know it today. Of course, a search system could be created in a database, but it would require a lot of work to make everything really better.

It would be even better if the images can be uploaded on external servers because that way the downloads can easily browse the forum's posts/threads and may click on that external links. TalkImg as we all know is a great option for the purpose and I believe Joker_josue will allow such type of uploading of images on his site.

I didn't understand your idea. Can you explain better?
