Hey guys. I was reading a current thread about people leaving the gaming table, linked to an old thread of mine with several examples throughout it, and have since gotten requests for an explanation about "No walls in Denver" that could be best eplained by linking to the old thread about it. However, I'm having trouble finding it.

One problem seems to be limiting the search results to the first 1000. This has gotten me back to 2004 posts, but I think the thread preceded this. When I put in more terms, hoping to get posts or threads with both terms included, I seem to be getting all instances of either search term. When I use +, I get an error message about a term being less than 3 letters.

I'll keep trying, but help or explanation would be appreciated.

Try including 'find all posts by', so that the search will be narrowed down to the people + the search terms.

Quite a few mentions of "no walls in Denver" in 2004, must have been around that time. The oldest posts in the database are from August 2003.

Can you remember the thread title? The search function is mostly unable to find last weeks content.
