Because I can’t seem to find it 😛

hmm, when trying to post it says you can only post one message every 60 seconds. Thats interesting.

No, unfortunately, you do not. This is for two reasons: First, the Powers that Be want folks to have an incentive to subscribe. Second, searching is just about the roughest thing we have on the servers, so if anything’s going to be restricted, it’s that. If there’s something in particular for which you really want to search, though, you can ask the paying members, and one of us will generally be willing to do the search for you.
