That\'s what this is all about!  I am trying to get suggestions to aid in the disproving of these rumors.  
Perhaps it is why someone would do this that is confusing,
I am attempting to do this because I get very tired of the following conversation;
 \"CB is coming out on weds night! \"
\"really, where you hear this?\"
\"everyone is saying it.\"
\"yeah, but what is their source?\"
\"It\'s all over the forum.\"
(go to forum and search, get 14 or 15 threads with 5-20 posts each, nothing having anything to do with reason for search, search more, find nothing, eventually search all recent messages.  Find vague mention of server being ready. )
next morning;
\"um, nothing about it on the forum.\"
\"you must have just missed it.\"
\"arrgh.\"

I would like to reduce the amount of search time, and discuss the whole rumoredness.

Parts; Very cute, except I didn\'t ask for the release date.
josephoenix:I know they are just rumors, hence the topic, and  I didn\'t ask for the release date.
jorrit; I appreciate your, and other\'s hard work, thank you very much.  I greatly look forward to it.  Even your quote  of me specifically asks about the rumors, and I didn\'t ask for the release date.
josephoenix; I don\'t run my own server because, A: my linux box is currently a fulltime NWNhost and B: be kinda dull with just 2 people in the Planeshift world.
Please forgive my bluntness but either I was to vague in my question or y\'all seem to have misunderstood it.

The question is about the rumors not the release date.

first; I would like suggestions on the most efficient search criteria to investigate, that is disprove, the current rumor.

and 2; Why shout \"release is saturday!\" when \"fragnetics has the new server set!  the release must be Saturday.\" at least actually uses info from the forums.

P.S.  um, I would  just like to take this time to point out that you all fell for my trap and only my posts here are actually on topic.  \"wohoo I rule!\"
geez I am lame.

For months I have searched the forum to confirm the release rumors I have heard.  However I seldom get any relevant results.  Keywords used always include:  
?crystal blue?
?crystal blue? release
And of course whatever specifics from the latest rumor are.
As the information I am looking for needs to be relatively recent or be useless I use the post date filter.

 I often receive a list of 12 or so threads, most of which have topics containing nothing remotely to do with the search.  Upon reading the entire thread I will find the search terms and a significant lack of relevance to actually disproving or supporting the rumor.  I continue down the list of non-associated topics finding some interesting things, lots of ego, and occasional reference to but no actual info about CB.

The closest I get is usually someone complaining about someone posting a question about when the release will be and the associated flames about searching instead of posting.
  When I do find actual information regarding the rumor and/or release the topic usually has nothing to do with such things.

Since I obviously am performing some error in my searching or I would find exactly what I am seeking, what keywords should I be using?

And while I am here, before the flaming starts;
I understand that the rumors are unreliable; this would be why I am researching them.
I understand that when it is released they will announce it; But as the official news will be after the fact I am hoping to be able to plan ahead.
I understand that there are ?many topics already on the subject? of release, and that new ones will be deleted.  Those topics have no new information, that is the posts are months old.  At least the ones I find are and contain nothing more than the ?it will be released when it is released? mantra.  That is why this topic isn?t about the release date.  In fact should you post the release date here it would be off topic.
I understand that in lack of actual information people read things into comments and make stuff up because they are lame; the topic isn?t ?why do people spread rumors? nor ?why people wish to believe them?

The topic for those who missed it is the rumors of the release date.
IE.
?How to use this forum to find information to confirm or deny the current rumor.?
?Why when there is no actual information do these rumors continue to get posted in game yet nothing remotely about them is found in the forums??

Thanks,
