Re: mass pings are going to be killed and it’s going to kill the economy

The site's miserable search that can't index more than 300 pages at a time and can't actually filter useful information that would make the list of results useful and smaller for things like this is what keeps making the site break. People are still going to keep searching for IDs and the site is still going to go ridiculously sluggish because the most generous filters you can use for hatchlings still attempts a search of 100k+, of which you can only actually view 7500. The fact that you can generate that many results at all and there isn't an arbitrary cap on the search at all and it shows you the exact results of every ridiculous search you make just makes the circumstances worse.

People really need to stop just showing off people's random dragons, especially when directly linking then is expressly banned but people don't stop doing it regardless. But beyond all that - the pinglist bit won't actually help with any of the Special ID stuff. There's nothing about it to be helped. It's incredibly out of left field for them to mention and unless they ban the onsite threads entirely just sounds like they're grasping at straws.
