Not that I don't like some of their searchers' profiles [http://underground.chacha.com/guide/guide_profile/3273] [http://underground.chacha.com/guide/guide_profile/34026] (they keep me wondering about their derrierres and other parts of body :-). `'[[user:mikkalai|mikkanarxi]] 00:50, 25 October 2006 (UTC) |

TonyD: Ok<br> |

TonyD: Ok I'll tell you that there is some more specialized guides that can help you better with this. So I will transfer you to one of them |

... That... made me laugh so hard I cried. I think the whole thing is a great idea on paper, |
|||
but in action it's going to suck. The whole system to see seems ridiculously flawed. Like Communism. Good on paper. Bad in action. |

Prank Searches
As the site gets bigger, more and more people are pulling prank searches for fun on ChaCha and posting them around the 'net. It seems to be a phenomina big enogh to be worth mentioning.

I am pretty sure global troll community will discover chacha soon, and hopefully this will take some heat off wikipedia: bugging a live person is much more fun than to blank wikipages. :-) `'mikka 22:25, 10 January 2007 (UTC)
- Lollerz, pranking the guides must be at least 8x as fun as blanking Wiki's. Luksuh 22:59, 30 January 2007 (UTC)
- Added something about pranking. Spread the good word! Citation-ish used. Hard to find citations for prank percentage. For the record, ChaCha was not helpful in finding this number. —The preceding unsigned comment was added by Pictish (talk • contribs) 23:34, 13 February 2007 (UTC).
