I Can't realize that Could I explore this Message Board using synonym keywords instead of exact words.
I searched for synonym keywords in http://www.google.com (http://www.google.com) and
hxxp://www.boardexplorer.com (hxxp://www.boardexplorer.com) and I found this Message Board.
but inside the web site I could not find any intelligent search. you ought to know exact words to find related topics
any one who knows something?

I Can't figure out that Is it possible to find something inside this Forum by similar keywords instead of exact words.
I searched for similar keywords in http://www.google.com (http://www.google.com) and
hxxp://www.boardexplorer.com (hxxp://www.boardexplorer.com) and I found this Forum.

I split this off from the Notebook thread you posted into.
What are you asking?

Something shady is going on here. I had previously heard of the second link this entity posted, and knew that it was some sort of archiving and search engine for message boards. If you take a look at the Google link that I have included, you'll see that this message is posted almost verbatim on several different forums.
Notably, the posts are never even close to being on topic, and they've all been posted very recently. I'll wager that they're useful for distilling the content from these forums. Dunno if aggregating forum posts is something that bothers me, but I definitely don't care for the method being implemented here.

Well that seals it.
No spam here.

I am not sure why this intrigues me, but it does for some reason. Notice how the very similar format is being used in these two posts, while swapping out specific words. MsgBrd for For*m, and sim... for syn...
It seems to me that killing the actual link itself may not be key in eliminating the usefulness of the post. Again, it really isn't important to me that the content is aggregated, I am just curious to see how this phenomenon is going to unfold.
I suppose followup posts by me are probably counterproductive. Sorry.

I found it amazing that "Jack123" can be posting this crap on so many forums at the same time.
Adios Jack, don't bother coming back.
Here is a site where this one posted 4 times:
