Just a quick note on a few points made in this thread
BL has never been at war with any other site. There have been individuals who have had issues with similar sites, but it is a person-by-person thing and on the whole BL has NOT had such issues nor taken any actions to support that claim. On the contrary, we've had open talks with owners-administrators of several sites similar to ours (Drug-forums, Shroomery, Erowid, Dancesafe, etc) in a sporadic effort to help one another, which perhaps we can rekindle moving forward. I know it's a topic Tronica and I have touched on.
As to search engines.....Fk Google. Yeah, we're running GoogleAnalytics to help us with knowing some of our performance, our audience, etc; but that is out of a lack of alternatives. For finding the site, or material you are looking for, I personally recommend any other engine besides Google though if you choose to use it include the "site:bluelight.org" at the beginning of the search term as Tranced outlined so as to focus the search on us.
