Hidden part of weather.com
« on: May 10, 2010, 09:29:07 PM »
A few years ago, someone posted a link to a hidden part of weather.com. It had lots of images and other files. I think the first part of the address was xoap.weather.com. Anyone know what I'm talking about?

For some reason, after searching through files for about 5 minutes or so, IE automatically closes out of the site and gives an error message saying something like "This webpage was closed due to the site trying to run a malicious software add-on " or something like that. :blink: :blink: :blink:

Does anyone else get this? :dunno: I would still like to browse through all the archives on the site, but maybe TWC is preventing us from doing so. :thinking:

Try on Safari/Opera/FireFox/Google Chrome and it should work fine.

No problem accessing it here with my IE. 

Those links bring back great memories :).  I loved the 2003-2005 Live By It show music :D

Never had that error, but I do occasionally get a memory error. Rather annoying. Never get it with any other program.

Hmm...I could have sworn that old playlists were posted there. Apparently I was dreaming.

What do you mean? :unsure:

Anyways, I actually discovered this site before I created my Taiganet account, which was my first joining to the forums. Quite weird IMO. :wacko:
