I didn't really know where this went so I figured I'm 'suggesting' something so I should go here. If it doesn't go here, just know that I'm not trying to be a rebel.
JLH/Panilex, you've said that you keep logs of the game and that it's hard to look through the logs for specific stuff simply because of the sheer size of the files and the amount of time it would take to look through them. I was thinking that maybe adding a small search engine would help maybe?
Like, you could type "constantine"(random word, movie was nice BTW)and what it would do is take you to the first mention of constantine and highlight the word. Everytime you hit, say, CTRL+N or something, it would go to the next mention of it and so on and so forth.
You could even take it a step further and add a date search to help narrow it down so you arent' searching for a word and having to start from day one when it could be something recent you're searching for.

log searching CAN be done through various search systems, it just takes the server a lot of time and disk space (between 100mb and 150mb a day usually - so they are zipped up) to do it.
Anything i post on here is subject to change at any time without notification to the board.

Yes, how long it takes, hours, days, is BS.
You steal something, they look through logs and oh, whats this? They find it in less than 1 minute.

When they know where to look.
As JLH always said, if it's something that's easily solved, it'll get solved. If some says "I was stolen from last month, but was on holiday... Do something" I very much doubt JLH is going to go through each of last months logs - Would you?
However, if you e-mail with, say.. 'Hey, something went missing from my account on x-date between y-time and z-time.. Any chance you could help'. I'd imagine he'd be much more likely to take a quick look.

Clever use of tags to avoid the filter - don't do it! - CraneWhen they know where to look.

Wow, I see it doesn't take much to turn the most simple thread into a flame against staff or anyone else for that matter. Wouldn't it be nice if we could
