I have also sent emails pertaining to this, and never got a reply, however, they will certainly email you if you post a subject matter they feel is inappropriate. The staff is certainly giving the IPO forum group the cold shoulder. IPO is definetly one of the bread and butter forums on the site. You would think they would want to correct the forum search to keep the site functional and easy for the users. After all, if it werent for us technical users, this site would be nothing. Just a thought.
