If I had to choose... Melbourne, Australia because of the cooler winters.

C-D is hopeless when it comes to searching specific threads (so I don't blame the OP).
Thanks for the tip!

Why is it so bad? Does it use the same parameters as if it were a website for a scientific journal? (i.e. using parentheses and quotation marks to indicate certain key words)

If so that's f*cking stupid, not everyone knows that way of searching. Even I am rusty with it.

I just look up stuff using Google. Usually the thread appears right there no.1 in the list.

If you want a good laugh, search things like "city data herp de derp" , " city data penis mcghee", "city data Melbourne" , "city data weatherfan2" , "city data failwhale", "city data owenc" etc.

To be honest, I have no clue. All I know is I've looked a thread up exactly word by word (I remember the title name, but don't feel like going through 50 pages to find it) and some irrelevant **** comes up. Stupid as hell.


Like Ethereal and Beerparty, I just Google search now. A lot easier, usually just comes up first lol.

I must say I never expected to choose a Australia climate over a USA climate, but that's what's happening! Melbourne AUS's "winters" are not really all that wintry, but at least they're comfortable, and the summers aren't quite into the "too hot" range, although they are closing in dangerously close to it. Meanwhile, the Florida one is a place where gills would probably be more useful for breathing the air in the summer than lungs, and the ""winter"" offers very little relief. No thanks.
