Now that NBC Universeal now owns TWC, what do you think will happen? Will they merge with NBC Weather Plus?

I moved this thread. It is not a question, comment, or suggestion pertaining to the site or forum.  :biggrin:

That said, I do not expect many, if any, changes. I think everything will stay as is. I certainly don't think there will be any sort of merger of the two channels.

Sorry, I didn't know. I like your website by the way. I've been a TWC fan since 1989 and I also love weather and computers.

Nothing to be sorry about, my friend (my Dave impression!  :P ). We're all entitled to a view on this.  B)

BTW, thanks for the compliment. I'm glad you like the site!  :twothumbs: B)

Indeed. It seems everyday I have to hear some mention of TWC's merger with NBC, and I'm getting tired of it.

What? Didn't CBS get the deal? Solosoul will be so upset now that TWC's not merging with CBS Sports. :cry3:

Oh god, he was a disaster. You guys would never want to know what he tried to do with me via IM.  :fear:

He also hacked my old message board and claimed to me that he was going to report my IP address to authorities for hacking a former user PhantomForce's forum when I've done absolutely nothing to it (not to mention I've never been to their forum at that time).

Who is solosoul?
A former TWCC user who started out nice but turned out he was a hacker and insulter. Fortunately, someone at another forum I go to called Solosoul's mother and he was banned from the computer from what I heard (this was about two years ago). Not sure if he'll ever return, though.

He still has his account at TaigaNet, but he hasn't been active since he "left" more than two years ago after the incident where TWCC got hacked (it turned out he was the one who did this), the same time he got his account closed at TWCC for the same reason.
