:wow:
-
It's true. :yes:
I am also part of the SilverStar 8 network (beta tester).
-
Wow, that's really neat!
-
Must've been a slow news day. :rofl:
Sorry, I just can't stand Andrew. I've never met such a jackass in all my life.
-
Now that I think about it, wasn't he one of the idiots on Taiganet?
-
What the hell. How can this crap be news. :censored:
"Now the future meteorologists hope to get cable companies to subscribe to the service. Poecker would like to talk to local cable broadcaster Wave Broadband to start the process of migrating to TV."
I really hope TWC goes ahead and sues their ass just for the heck of it. The design, the name, everything...
"Andrew Poecker is a weekend meteorologist"
No he is a kid who reads a NWS forecast.
"A 12-year-old environmental specialist from Michigan"
That sentence is wrong in so many ways. Whoever this writer is must be a retard. This is horrible writing.
-
What the :censored: indeed.
I bet the 12-year-old is struggling in his pre-algebra class rather than being a full-fledged environmental specialist. If he comes on my 11:00 news, I'd be switching to another channel.
-
I don't know how ANYONE could create their own forecasts, without a lot of high-tech equipment.
-
Gee.. Thanks guys, I really feel welcomed here now
We work our butts off to get weather information out to you guys, creating weather maps, and yes, we do get most of our forecasts from the National Weather Service, however, we do have some expertise in some subjects.
It would be an absolutely stupid thing for TWC to sue us, because 1) it's a waste of their time, and 2) We are not violating any copyright/patent laws, and 3) If they sue us, they have to sue WeatherUnderground and every other weather website out there, which is illegal because then you have a monopoly. We are simply a weather site on the internet, nowhere close to TV yet.
If you guys hate SilverStar 8 so much, just stop watching us.

1.So your saying your project is so insignificant and small that nobody should care about it.
2. Oh come on you have got to be kidding me!! SilverSTAR (hmmm weatherSTAR) 8 (hmm local on the 8s) Even your name is uncreative. Im sure If I looked up the patents on the weatherstars I would find your breaking quite a few. You may not know it but the basic design/setup of your local forecast likely breaks several TWC copyrights. You even call it an LDL. :rolleyes:
And no you do not make your own forecasts. TWC for example has servers that take in the NWS forecast and tweaks its a bit. You just look at the NWS forecast and guess. Its very sad that you call yourself meteorologists.
3. What? Do you read what you type? Weatherunderground and other websites aren't trying to copy TWC programming and local forecasts to SELL and make a profit on. Im sure that have all the copyrights on their material anyway.
Anyway dont worry. I think its safe that 99% of the people dont watch your SS8. (haha good job on that abreviation! (http://upload.wikimedia.org/wikipedia/commons/thumb/3/39/Schutzstaffel_SS_SVG1.1.svg/16px-Schutzstaffel_SS_SVG1.1.svg.png)8 )
Prehaps I am a little harsh on you all but you walk around with your noses stuck in the air. You are eat up with yourself! I mean take a look at your wallpaper link. Its just a bunch of pictures of voice crackly teenagers. They are just bad and show the obsession you have with yourself.

Although they would be reffering to me, I will say this... I completely disagree with what they **cough** Andrew **cough** :club: put in this paper article. I am not a "enviormental specialist", since I never even studied this subject. I am just going online to help people out with saving money and all of that. But I really do disagree with that statement in the newspaper 100 percent...
-
I think this thread has run its course. <_<
-
Alright, time for my two sense (whether you like it or not).
Robo, how dare you. How dare you bitch about not feeling welcome. We don't even know you! You've never posted here once. As far as I'm concerned, your just another name on the member list at this point. Spend some time here too once in awhile not just at TWCC, and post here once in awhile, and maybe you'll become a respected member. But to come out of the shadows and jump on us like that..how dare you.
Your lucky Stephen intervened, because I wouldn't have locked this thread. I can't stand that project, or Andrew. In fact, I can't stand the project BECAUSE of Andrew. You guys need to get your heads out of your asses and toss that creep to the curb.
-
I've unlocked this thread. I feel it was within the guidelines. No where did I create a rule saying we can't have a negative opinion of something. Everyone seems to have expressed their feelings in a civil manner, so I feel as though to lock this thread would be to censor those opinions.
However, this thread MUST stay civil. If trouble starts, I will lock it.
EDIT: I realize this is probably not a popular decision with some, but that's just the way it'll have to be. I've been known to make unpopular decisions from time to time. :D
-
I am also a beta tester at SilverStar 8. I disagree with most of the points stated in that article. I can also see how The Weather Channel would have an issue with it, one example is their WeatherSTAR Technology, It was licensed to The Weather Network and Pelmorex for their Local Forecast Device (Whatever its called), so the idea is clearly patented and would be illegal to copy without a license to do so.

Exactly. patent #5940776 to be exact.
Andrew didn't post correctly and he acted like an retard while making the article. It didn't make scence in many ways.
-

For once I'm going to agree with your decision. :P

I'm not sure if that's good or bad! :rofl: :bleh:

I've looked over the project a bit. Its not very original but whatever. Let em do what they want.
-
What the :censored: indeed.

That so called "12-year-old" happens to be me <_< I am not a full-fledged environmentalist. I happen to procrastinate on this part of the project, and I only go on to tell you how to same money :P

Actually, yes. I wasn't the one who put that in the paper. I had nothing to even do with it. It was all Andrew (I know what you think about him, Gary :P ) who put it together, as far as I know.

Its pretty ballsy of him to give people false (read misleading) titles. My mouth just hangs agape at the thought that Jeremy allows these things to happen. How could he?

Now you want to throw him on the curb and hopes that the trash man throws him in the back of the truck? :rofl:

Never said it. :no:
-
I thought that you want him on the curb before (On the 1st page of the thread). Well, I should take a break of posting in this thread to let other users also post :yes:
-
Right you are. I DID say that, and I do mean it. I just don't think he should be allowed to do some of the things he does.

Possibly on the SS8 homepage. The link is there, too :happy:

That so called "12-year-old" happens to be me <_< I am not a full-fledged environmentalist. I happen to procrastinate on this part of the project, and I only go on to tell you how to same money :P
If you dont mind me asking, what makes you qualified to give people info on how to save money? Where is your info comming from?
And let me add that prephaps my previous post were a little harsh and I do apologize for that. However I stand by everything I posted and commented on.
I also would like to add that I think this article is misleading, contains false information and promotes illegal actions (copyright infringment) as such I have reported it to that paper.

I agree with you Martin, and I accept the apology :happy:
The source of where this is coming from is many websites that I find correct, and some posters around my school that they made :smoke2:
The newspaper article... I had nothing to do with it. Talk to Andrew (apoecker) about it. :hmm:
-
How did Gil find the article , in the first place?
I got it in a Google News Alert e-mail. Probably how Gil got it too.
As for Curt's qualifications, I'll say this: usually it takes alot of experience and knowledge to label yourself an expert, specialist, or anything else. I'm pretty sure that at 12 he has little of either.
This is not anything against you Curt. I'm talking about titles in general, not just yours.

It's fine! I know that it will take allot of work before I fully expect to master this.
OT: I think that I need to reread what I am typing... I am making allot of errors in my posts.

Gotcha. I think it would be best to cite your sources in the videos :thumbsup:
Another thing I just thought of, does the SS8 project have the rights to all of the music they use. Its claimed that Trammell gave the OK to use his music but unless you have a signed agreement I dont think its really legal. Plus it would not surprise me one but if TWC had attached some strings to the music preventing any competition (although I dont consider the SS8 to be that) from using it. Kinda unoriginal too using Trammell anyway. :dunno:
-
Just out of curiosity, is Andrew a member of this forum, and if so, is his user name apoecker? :dunno: Robomayhem posted like he was Andrew, so I thought Andrew may have changed his username.

I found it when I typed "Trammell Starks" into Google News.

Correct. They are two different people. :yes:
I figured Google News had SOMETHING to do with it, Gil. :D
-
I find it weird that the newspaper company would let a 16 year old put something in there papers. Wouldn't he need to have parental permission first?
-
Robomayhem posted like he was Andrew
I think that Robomayhem checked into the wrong hotel :footinmouth:
EDIT: Opps! I thought that the 2 different posts would combine like they do at Taiganet... sorry about the double posts.

Yes, we do buy all the rights to the music we use. We contacted Trammell via phone and he did give us permission to use the music, and we did request that he wrote an email to us saying that exact same thing.

I am Michael, the one person not even talked about in that article.
And about the newspaper, I don't have the entire details on how it was written, all I know is we were all interviewed for it, asked a few questions about SS8, and that was it. From there, it was published, and I have no idea who it was written by.
-
Ohh... I told you that u checked into the wrong hotel room... lol :rofl2: :hammer:
-

Buying the rights to music can be very expensive. Are you buying them from some site or directly from the artist/studio?
Unless you have a signed paper from Trammell you have no official agreement. He must be out of his mind or severly misunderstood what you all are doing. It seems odd that an artist would be willing to throw in support so easily. Why did you not choose any other music? It seems kinda silly just to copy what TWC uses. Although I guess thats the backbone behind your whole "operation"

I believe that that Trammell knows, but I could be wrong. It seems like he would though. I think that he almsot got on one of our shows...

The more I look at your setup the more suspicious I get. Why are you all going to great lengths to cover your tracks? You are using a third party source ( Domains by Proxy) to hide your info for your domain. However it cleverly states in both the TOS for that site that:
"Prohibitions: Domains By Proxy is not intended to be used to protect your identity if you:
Violate the law or infringe a third party’s trademark or copyright;"
If you are not doing anything wrong, why bother going to great lengths to hide your info. GoDaddy has been cracking down on that kinda stuff lately!
-
The whole domain info "hiding" is something that everyone should do if they get a domain and think their site is going to be popular since anyone can just whois it and screw with their personal information. I learned that the hard way. I got a domain, site was somewhat popular and then I had some guys calling me up calling me a faggot all day. Since all of that information has to be valid, it's a good idea to get that.
Not trying to be on either side here, really, but just pointing out that it's not just for mischievous purposes.
-
Ha. At least you haven't had any death threats or a mysterious order of pizza(s) or something.
-
I'm suspicious of the music. Even though Trammell composed the music, I don't think he would really have a say so. He wrote that music, under contract, specifically for TWC. So really, all of the music belongs to TWC, not Trammell. Then again, after 14 years, TWC may not give a crap, but I highly doubt that's the case.

Well..considering they still DO use some of it on WxScan, and much of it on the emergency playlist, I'd say they DO still give a crap about it. :D
My real worry here is that TWC/NBC are going to wind up shutting all of us down because of stuff like this. You can only push the envelope so much before they get tired of it and decide that everyone's fan sites/spinoffs/mockery's have to go.

I feel the same way. Especially when we're dealing with a large corporation here. They'll be cracking down on copyright issues and all that crap. It's only a matter of time.
-
Speaking of large corporations, why is NBC compared to other companies, so stringent on copyright infringement?
-
I just hate NBCs guts. I hope that they make one huge mistake and then they get closed :club:

Agreed. I think that Landmark selling TWC was a horrible desicion :cry: , but its all about the money.

No, there was more to it than just money. Did it ever occur to you that Frank Batten is becoming quite old? Maybe he wanted to sell off his company so he could retire and live out the rest of his life in peace.

Truely, I've never thought of it that way... :hammer:

I love how I can spend several years and several thousands of dollars to earn a qualification (Meteorologist) that a 12 year old can come online and pretend to be... what the hell...
Doesn’t this whole SS8 thing involve the WS4000 emu? Have they (Bill) accepted this “incorporation”?
I find it very hard to believe that Trammell gave rights to his TWC music, when I contacted him; I had asked him if he could possibly sell me the rights to any TWC songs, he said no as they were created for TWC, they are property of TWC, Trammell created them and sold them to TWC, however he did offer to create new music for me that was similar. So I think this whole “Trammell said we could” is a load of crap.
I had also filled a “complaint” (copyright issue) with the SS8 website a few months ago as TWC in regards to an image that was TWC’s (The whole SS8 Custom Radar screen or whatever was just a local TWC radar image). The image was removed a week later.
All of this is soo un-original. I mean, SilverStar 8 (Star?) (LOT8’s?) Comparing the NWS / TWC forecast, the SS8 maps are just a cross between the two… The text forecasts? NWS text forecasts with more grammatically correct verbs and pro-nouns…
This whole thing is the biggest load of …. Of… poop I’ve ever heard!

narunetto, those are my sentiments exactly.
Curt, did you ever wonder if maybe its not such a good idea to call yourself something your not?
Actually, yes. I wasn't the one who put that in the paper. I had nothing to even do with it. It was all Andrew (I know what you think about him, Gary :P ) who put it together, as far as I know.
Its pretty ballsy of him to give people false (read misleading) titles. My mouth just hangs agape at the thought that Jeremy allows these things to happen. How could he?
I completely agree with your post, Jeremy is just letting this slip, this is going to wind up getting way out of hand soon.
-
Any more goodies agenced him? :thrilled:
-
I thought I might as well clarify some thing's for ya'll.
First off, no this project does not involve the WeatherSTAR 4000 emulator project in any way.
Secondly, As far as I am conserned, yes we do have autherisation to use Trammel's music. But Andrew made the call, so if you have any questions contact him.
Lastly, all the information in that newspaper report was provided by Andrew. I have no idea why he thought he thought he could provide false information about silverstar8.
In my opinion, Andrew should be removed from the team. I wish Jeremy would realise that Andrew is bringing down this so called project. But sadly, he hasn't known Andrew long enough to realise that he is an idiot.
Now that I have spoken my opinion, I will probably be removed from the team, Because Andrew will eventully read this post, and notify Jeremy about it.

If I know Andrew, he definitely will whine to Jeremy. Sad, but true. :rolleyes:
Anywho...I'm pretty convinced that if Andrew is the one behind the Trammell authorization, then there is no such authorization. Andrew has lied about a great many things, and this is likely one of them. It takes more than a phone call. I'm surprised, Devon, that your buying the ruse.
-
This Andrew guy seems to have nothing better to do except lie to people just to draw attention to himself and make himself look like a goody two shoes.
Instead of lying to people here is a suggestion or a comment
This Andrew person needs to GET A LIFE!!!

First, I dont think that Devon is going to take this much longer... idk what may happen :hmm: I truely dont know about the Trammell Authorizaion. I think that it needs to be double checked with Trammell so that he gets the picture :thumbsup:
Also, Encore :biggrin:
-
I second that. He's burned many bridges with his arrogance and immaturity. I've heard many reasons for why he acts as he does, but I have no sympathy for him. Unless he's terminally ill or certifiably mentally retarded, he deserves no special treatment. He should be expected to adhere to the same rules and values everyone else does. Unfortunately Bill (Taiganet) and Jeremy have left their lip marks imprinted on his ass.

Its great being the funny guy

lol, you can be funny sometimes :P

Who said anything about being funny? :unsure:

Kyle hit everything right on the head.
Its nice to pretend and have fun with this so called project but your asking for trouble when you go around asking for donations or saying we want to get real cable companies to use this.
I swear if that picture is posted again my computer screen is going to crack :rofl2:

I second that. He's burned many bridges with his arrogance and immaturity. I've heard many reasons for why he acts as he does, but I have no sympathy for him. Unless he's terminally ill or certifiably mentally retarded, he deserves no special treatment. He should be expected to adhere to the same rules and values everyone else does. Unfortunately Bill (Taiganet) and Jeremy have left their lip marks imprinted on his ass.
It seems like the only special treatment that he deserves is seeing a psychiastrist

Look who's online :bleh:

I don't think it would be cool. I have a feeling that they don't have any idea what being on cable TV entails. Its not free. You have to have advertisers, and advertisers don't just come knocking on your door. They have to feel as though advertising on your channel is worth their advertising buck. And unless you have a stable and large viewership, they won't think so. It took many years for TWC to become a viable company. They didn't just pop on the tube one day and become an instant hit.
And curt, how much you wanna bet he's messaging me? :yes:
-
As I thought, he did PM me. I don't know who the hell he thinks he is. He's threatening to take "legal action". What the hell in this thread is illegal? I'll tell ya-NOTHING. :rolleyes:

He couldn't take legal action even if he had the power to. Doing so it would volate everyone's right to freedom of speech.

In his emulators, he said "Will take legal action if you -blank-, etc."

In all honesty, I find this thread QUITE amusing, to say the least. :D :clap:

Just remember Gil, you started it! :bleh:

Well if apoecker is going to be this way why can't you just give him the boot?
It looks like he did the one thing that you absolutely never do on a forum.
HE THREATENED A FORUM ADMINISTRATOR!!!

I'm most certainly proud of my creations. :whistling:

Gil, what was your initial reaction when you first started the thread? :P
-
Probaly the shock of the article...
-
Probaly the shock of the article...
I laughed my ass off when I saw it.
One thing you dont do, dont mess with Gary :bleh:
AHH People are talking bad about me. Im going to sue you because.... because... because... they dont like my crappy article.
I am thrilled that you unlocked this thread Gary. It provides the perfect thing to cheer me up after a busy day :lol:
-
The entire topic/article is making me laugh...let alone the topic title does itself. :rofl2:
-
My SAME thoughts Martin B) :rofl2:
-

i have to agree with you. :rofl2:
-
I cant even comprehend how Andrew is the editor "in chief" of his high school newspaper. Guess all the smart people dont go to the special ed school :rofl2:
Ok ok that was a bit harsh but my point is Andrew seems to be a poor choice to be an editor of anything.
-
:P
I find it funny, he is so attached to Silverstar8 now that he never uses his own site anymore... :hammer:
-
My reaction, I was sitting in the hotel room with my girlfriend and just started slowly laughing as I read the article :P I was in tears by the end :P
-
He can take no legal action against you. That is an immature way to get people to do what you want them to do by threat, usually the coupled words "legal" and "action" scare alot of people; thankfully, Gary knows that it's just a load of junk. Yay for Gary. :biggrin:
Then again, I would be pretty pissed off too if everyone on a message board began talking !@#$ about me. So, in defense of this poor child, it is pretty creul for everyone to get together and make 8 pages in a thread about "Andrew."
But, what exactly did he do wrong that has created this mentality? :blink:
BTW, is he a corporation? He bought licensing to Trammell's music?! Wow buddy, be careful... :whistling:
-
No, he's no corporation. He's just a regular 12 year old boy.
As for what he did that made people act this way towards him, let's just say that he's burned many bridges. He caused me to be banned from Tagianet with his whining and other assorted bullshit. Its that same whining and other bullshit that has everyone else pissed at him too. He's made Taiganet a miserable place to be (though by no stretch of the imagination is he the ONLY person ruining that forum).
-
:P
I find it funny, he is so attached to Silverstar8 now that he never uses his own site anymore... :hammer:
That's what I am most upset with. He used to promise making and releasing several PowerPoint emulators but instead he's now focused on SS8 and JUST SS8. I doubt he even realizes that he could've used the time to make the emulators instead.
-
Now someone agrees :thumbsup:
-
Guess what? Somehow, all of the SS8 Beta Testers are normal members, and the site is DESTROYED. I get aton of 404s while looking through the site tabs :furious:
-
You know, I noticed last night when I was over there that very few of the pages loaded. :thinking:
-

I want to know who is responsible for all of this. We didn't do anything. Freedom of speach. They cant fire there whole beta team for following the law.
-
I am furious at Jeremy right now :furious: Even though it was kind of our fault though.
-
I have to ask, what is it about running a forum, or a program like SS 8, that makes people loose their minds? Matt, Bill, and Jeremy are just three examples of forum/program leaders that have driven their respective site/program into the ground. Is it the power gone to the head? Inexperience? Both? Something else? :dunno:

I dont think tht it is that, but it is the fact that Andrew took the wrong step and started this. I lost my position, along with all of the other beta testers :club:
-
What in the world is going on with the SS8 site??? :huh: :blink: I went there just the other day and everything was fine, but now, almost all the links are not working, the disclaimer page looks totally different, etc. What is going on??? :wacko: :fire:
EDIT: Is the site crashing?
SS8 is crashing and I have no where to go.
-
SS8 is crashing and I have no where to go.
They fired all of the beta testers. :censored:

Andrew is awfully quiet about this. While I can't comment on the beta tester's part, I would've expected him to say something in this topic here.
-
SS8 is crashing and I have no where to go.

Was that a result on this topic? :dunno: I didn't realize we had such an impact. :o I would say that this topic is a good thing, but I don't want to be rude to Chris and any other beta testers who lost their jobs. :no:

I blame Gil for my loss, henn713's loss, and Curt's loss, all because he started this thread. :furious:

You shouldn't be blaming anyone until you know who removed all the testers.

My thought is Andrew. He seems awfully mad about it... so it makes scence that he removed everyone :censored:
-
Why the hell would Jeremy give Andrew that much power? Has he lost his mind? :o
Zack..Chris...whoever the hell you are, don't be bad mouthing my members over what's going on at SS 8. If anything, this thread brought into the light the many problems of SS 8. if all of whats going on over there is a result of this thread, its because they knew their asses were pinned to the wall and they had to make some MAJOR changes.

nevermind that, but... I found out why we were all deleted. There is a new "so called" policy that no one under the age of 15 can be on the workteam. I find this BS, since they gave up all of there testers :rolleyes:
Great job SilverStar 8 :club:
-
That new policy was never posted anywhere, I am glad I am not part of SS8 anymore and their dirty operations.
I refuse to be part of any team that does these things.
-
Sorry guys, I've gotta disagree with you on this. Ithink its a very wise move indeed. :yes:

it appears as if the SilverStar 8 website no longer functions at all.

Are you out of your MIND?????? Grow up. You're no better than any of 'em.
As for what Gary said about forum managers, I've noticed that too. Not just at TWC forums either, any kind of forum. I think it puts a lot of stress on a person, despite it being "virtual".
As for Andrew, he definitely got what he had coming to him. I've never been to that site in my life, but honestly, how successful was it really?
-
Why the hell would Jeremy give Andrew that much power? Has he lost his mind? :o
Who in the world is Jeremy??? :wacko:
it appears as if the SilverStar 8 website no longer functions at all.
Well, when I try to access the site, the homepage still comes up, and the videos still function, but the links at the top (i.e. Silver Connect, Wallpapers, About Us, etc.) are almost all broken. :yes:
I am interested what the bottom line will be on SS8. Is the whole thing going to be discontinued? :dunno:

Just comes to show ya that Andrew is a lying, manipulative brat. :rolleyes:
Hes manipulating Jeremy just so he can do what he wants with the site, the project, and all operations for the site & the project.
Jeremy needs to take a stand and defend his position as the leader and admin of the project by removing Andrew from the team.

Hmm i wonder if it was the result of complaints sent to the host :thinking:
Nevertheless sorry you all had your bubble burst. Now you have to face reality and the true nature of the people your working with. Trust me though I dont think for a minute that any of you beta testers would have been doing anything for a long time. The release for that thing has been pushed off further and further and in my opinion its so poor in quality (the program) that there is little to test.
-
Take a look at this quote off the SS8 website: :blink:
Note: Some pages are currently unavailable due to a server malfunction. They will be restored soon.
I wonder if this is a true statement or a lie, because the site may be shutting down. :dunno:
And, what will the future be for SS8 now? Will it be permanently discontinued because, according to curtjr4, "there is a new 'so called' policy that no one under the age of 15 can be on the workteam"? Or am I just taking this way too far?
And, BTW, how old is this Jeremy? :unsure:

I believe Jeremy is 18, but I'm not entirely sure.

The article on this thread's opening post said he's 15, but I thought I remember seeing elsewhere that he is in his 20's. :unsure:

After reading the clusterfrick that has ensued on this thread, I decided to take a perusal of said site/information.
...the hell? I don't get it, apparently. It's just someone giving nat'l weather conditions?
-
Jeremy's 15.
-
Update: Now the SS8 website is gone completely and shows a page saying it's supposedly "coming soon". :blink: This can't be true; I would think that the website is going to be "gone soon". :huh:
-
Yeah - when you shut down a server thats usually the type of page that shows up. I think the site has been closed.
-
Woah, that's unexpected. :blink:
-
I wonder if SS8 will be permanently discontinued? :dunno: :blink: Interesting.
-
Ouch! Wonder whats going on :blink:
Hmm looks like just the index/homepage is gone. Other pages are still there
-
Either someone else attacked them, got shut down, or got fed up with the criticism?
-
Everything is probably just fine. They have been relaunching their site, and they are facing some tech problems B)

LOL, you've always got something funny up your sleeve, don't you? :P :rofl2:
Well, I feel bad for them, but you just can't do what they did. They used TWC's maps, and basically used the name of their LF hardware, and the name of the segment itself. IMO, its sites like that that are gonna get us all shut down if they are allowed to exist.
-
They should rethink their whole model, use stuff maybe like google maps, and put their own stuff on it like everyone else does.
-
And try some CREATIVE thinking. The name and music are all linked to TWC in their own way.
I have a feeling that higher powers than just this topic helped close the site.
-
On an unrelated note, I noticed that they used FrontPage:
<meta name="GENERATOR" content="Microsoft FrontPage 5.0">
-
Did they shut it down themselves, or was it shut down by the FCC?
-
Wow, even I use better software than that! :o
-
I use notepad. :P
-
I use notepad. :P

I found a clue:
http://www.youtube.com/user/CriminalCola (http://www.youtube.com/user/CriminalCola)
Under channel comments, a guy is asking for a password.
Also, they said they won't stream until 1/1/09, but the site still should be up. Let's see what happens then.
Speaking of live stream, there stream is still up here: http://www.mogulus.com/SilverStar_8_Weather_Network (http://www.mogulus.com/SilverStar_8_Weather_Network) but it isn't current.
On one side of me says the site folded, on the other hand, they may continue soon. :thinking:
-
Before the site went down there was a notice that there would be no new streaming until 1/1. So I doubt the site going down has anything to do with that. There was never a mention of the sitting being shut down for ANY length of time.
-
All of the videos on the SilverStar 8 YT account have also been taken down.

Well, I talked to Jeremy, and he jsut said that he closed it due to this madness... and a vacation... :blink:
-
The videos are also gone from his own YouTube account:

"This video is private. "
Also something interesting, I thought for the hell of it I would email the Domains by Proxy guys asking about the site and here is the response I got.
Hello Martin,
We recently received a complaint from a copyright holder regarding SILVERSTAR8.COM As such we have forwarded the claim to the registrant and taken the appropriate actions.

This entire SS8 "incident" and series of events is just really grabbing my attention and making me excited. I'm really interested to see what happens with this thing. From what it looks like, it's almost ALL gone. :yes:

I agree with you. To put into plain English what they told you, they got a complaint, found it was true, and shut the site down. Why Jeremy is making things up is beyond me. The GoDaddy placeholder isn't there because Jeremy decided he needed a break.
-
LOL, speaking of Jeremy, for some reason he and Robomayhem have been hanging around as guests alot lately. Maybe they don't realize I can see their IP's. For someone who needs a break, he sure hasn't stopped worrying about things. :thinking:
-
Well, was this due to copyright issues (Martins Post) or because of what Jeremy said?
-
I would have to go with copyright issues :yes:

I would have to second that. :yes:
-
Well, was this due to copyright issues (Martins Post) or because of what Jeremy said?
I'm sure it was due to copyright issues too. And probably, Jeremy's realization of the copyright issues wanted him to shut this down. :yes:
-
That's to bad the site folded :no: The site was doing well, then it suddenly folded. Anyways, check out SS8's partner site from Andrew http://twccentral.com/default.aspx (http://twccentral.com/default.aspx) That site will fold this summer.

That is correct, Andrew stated last night that boltweather.com is his website, and Jeremy is not affiliated with this project in any way.

That and Viacom would probably do soooo bad that they would have to either file for bankruptcy or fire Andrew.
BTW They would most likely fire Andrew but Viacom is already a bunch of rich Tightwads who only care about having more cha ching (cash) in their already overflowing pockets.
-
ROFL at all these "failure" pictures! :rofl2: :rofl2: :rofl2:
But seriously, why in the heck is Andrew starting a new website that's probably going to be a hundred times worse than SS8?!?! :thumbdown: :whateva: I know I should give him a chance, but I really can't. :club:

Yeah but they need to fire him from bolt because he just introduces and just studders alot also in my month of being an ocm with them, I found out he always relies on micheal and jeremy but they ALWAYS rely on micheal ALOT and when i found out when he was watching himself, he was still going on :lol:

LOL, yeah they're starting to get old now. Your overusing them.
Anyway, as far as Andrew's new site goes, I don't think we have anything to worry about. I have a feeling that the site will be reported, just like SS8 was, if it tries to be another TWC impersonator.

No one has taken over, and we are not the same as SS8. The graphics and maps are still the same as SS8 because we made the decision literally just a day before this happened, so we didn't have time to make anything new. This is also why our stream hasn't been updated in a few days.

Andrew's running it, because he bought the domain name. And because of him being in charge, I quit. Personally I feel sorry for Jeremy and Michael. They will have to deal with Andrew and his retarded acts.

That's exactly how I see it. :yes:

I agree... At first, I was really mad about this, but then I realized that I don't need to put up with the policies, and other things.
I respect jeremy's desicion to abandon the project. You know, I personaly liked it when he ran it. The Edition before a team was developed, the program had character, but since Andrew and Michael and everyone else joined the team, it wound up to be a total disaster :noexpression:
-
Here's my opinion, like it or dislike it as you see fit. 15 year olds shouldn't be trying to run websites and forums. Why do you suppose I waited so long to start mine? Because I wanted to observe the workings of other similar sites like TWCMB and TWCC.
I didn't start TWCT until I was sure I had the knowledge and experience I felt was necessary. These teenagers just jump right in thinking it must be a piece of cake, not realizing how difficult it really is.

I think its near impossible that they shut the site down since a few people complained about it on a forum. It goes deeper than that. No matter what Jeremy says

[1/3/2009 9:06:08 PM] SilverStar 8 says: lol, I don't know what you are talking about. I'm not part of Bolt Weather. I'm not even staying part of the TWC "fan" community much longer. Everyone showed their true colors lately on the forums and the chat rooms, ect. So I've decided to just throw my hands up and let everyone spend their holiday break complaining about SS8 and Bolt Weather (which I'm not even a part of)
[1/3/2009 9:06:57 PM] Joshua Stephens (Joshua87901) says: so who controls bolt
[1/3/2009 9:07:34 PM] Joshua Stephens (Joshua87901) says: and what forums is where everyone;s doing this
[1/3/2009 9:07:44 PM] SilverStar 8 says: Andrew/Michael someone. They MIGHT have made an exception to the rules and let you still do the forecasting since I told them you had just bought that greenscreen, but I doubt that now.
[1/3/2009 9:07:47 PM] Joshua Stephens (Joshua87901) says: im confused
[1/3/2009 9:08:27 PM] Joshua Stephens (Joshua87901) says: micheal said no one under 15 and going green is a no go
[1/3/2009 9:08:56 PM] Joshua Stephens (Joshua87901) says: and besides andrew jusy introduces and studders only micheal actually does the work
[1/3/2009 9:09:19 PM] SilverStar 8 says: Ok then. Well, seeing how, if you are confused about what is going on - and you start badmouthing everything before you know the facts - that is probably why they said no to anyone under 15.
[1/3/2009 9:09:59 PM] Joshua Stephens (Joshua87901) says: well they fired all beta testers i heard from chris
[1/3/2009 9:10:42 PM] SilverStar 8 says: They weren't exactly "fired" we just said no one under 15 can be a tester EXCEPT those that were already on the team.
[1/3/2009 9:11:59 PM] SilverStar 8 says: However, since everyone kept throwing a fit over SS8, I decided to just shut it down...myself. I wasn't forced to by TWC like a lot of people think. I went into the account manager and pressed DELETE myself.
[1/3/2009 9:12:35 PM] SilverStar 8 says: I still do greenscreen forecasts for my school, so I'm not out of forecasting the weather any.

It's not that they're arguing about it being ran by 15 year olds, it's about the fact they're using falsified titles for themselves and they're stealing the information and not creating it themselves.
I've been web designing and I had my site up since I was like 12. I would say you two did it in your mid to late teens (15+)

lol..Ask him..he will explain it.
-Yeah I know, i decided to look at Bolt weather and the video on the home page is just plain stupid. Can't find any copyright infringements by 'Bolt Weather' but I'm sure that name has been used somewhere, it sounds so familiar. I'm amazed that they can be called experts also. .

Wow, I love when mouths run. Let me clarify some things. I think Justin was 15 or 16 when we originally started TWCT. I myself was 19 or 20. Jesse, what exactly did you base your guess on? The site Justin and I started no longer even exists.
Gil, I'm not even sure if you were here at the time. Justin and I started this forum at Proboards, with no site to accompany. We started it as an alternative to the crap at TWCMB. After awhile he disappeared and I decided to relaunch the site on my own. In fact, it was your bootleg copy of IPB that I initially used after leaving Proboards. It was then that I came to SMF on the advisement of Stephen.

Wow... I love it on how this topic still goes on and on. I know tha some people didn't like the beta, but I will say this. My mouth did drop when I saw the finnished part of SilverConnect. Devon did an excelent job on the graphics, and the programming. I also like it on how it isn't Visual Basic. When I saw it my mouth dropped. It was an amazing program... or OS. Behind the scenes, I thought that the way it was built was excelent, and clever.
Devon, I really hope that you succed in you work :clap:
Go on youtube and look at his profile (Number1twcfan) and see the SilverConnect program. It still needs work, but the graphics is outstanding, and how it retrieves the data :)

So Im supposed to be impressed by something that looks worse than a powerpoint emulations and entirely copied off of LO8s? Its NOT an OS and I have my doubts that its even software. Just another reason why I refuse to give out the AJ narrations. They would go to something like this. Gotta love how he tries to make it seem like vocal local. Sounds awful! Most likely the lost signal slides are inserted to make people thing this is actually something :thumbdown:

I agree with you. :yes:
Who knows what they'll do with those narration sets? :wacko:

If you don't believe it's an OS then look at the attached file.
That's the silverconnect OS booting from my PC. It doesn't work very well.. at all.. because of the hardware.
Oh, and keep this in mind next time you post something... If you don't know-don't say.
One more thing... It IS actully something.

How many thousands of lines of code does even a basic OS require? I can't remember.
Also, signature way too large.

Ok ill buy that you actually did more than create a powerpoint but as far as creating an OS I can assure you, you did not. Most likely some poor linux system you destroyed and thats what the mangled display you have going. Doubt the problem is your hardware too

Just to be fair, the IntelliSTAR runs on FreeBSD, a modified one, but still FreeBSD.

What does that have to do with anything? :rolleyes:

Another point, even TWC didnt build an OS... Why would some guy living in his parents basement create an OS... Better yet, HOW could a guy living in his parents basement create an OS?
A Visual Basic application, I'll believe. A Java application, I'll believe. An OS? Nope. TWC didn't do it. I didn't do it. TWN did though!

Just watched the AVI.... Two things -- Where is the POST screen? Post a video of the POST screen going progressing to the OS and I'll believe you. and nice editing... I guess you edited out the "End of Slideshow. Click to Exit." screen.. nice!
Wait, a third thing -- maybe post some bootloader code? Just for proof :)
-
Too advanced for a POST screen :P
-
Last I checked, you kind of need a POST, as it's a power on self test, meaning it tests to see that everything's there and if something's wrong, depending on what you set in the BIOS, it'll either halt or continue on. Last I checked, all computers, even today's most advanced ones, have some sort of test when you press the power button, one way or another.

If you're responding to me, it was a joke, haha.
And yeah, to their defense it could be one that is so fast you can see it like my laptop, but I doubt it.

FYI, no, I did not edit that video in any way. I was carefull not to do that. I was going to watermark it, but I figured people such as yourself would bitch about it, so I didn't.
Now to excercise my freedom of speech.
If you do not believe that video is real, or that the Operating System is real - shut up, go elseware, click the back button, CTRL+left, command + left, alt + left.
If you do believe the video is real , and that thr Operating System is real - good, nice to not be called a liar. It doesn't feel good to be called that. Here's an example of what I mean... I say "wxmancanada is a black, 60 yearold, with a 2 ft. afro". Tell me wxmancanada, does it feel good knowing that people are spreading shit about you? No. Think back to second grade, what where you told every day? Oh, I remember, never insult others.
The point is, just because you think this is all fake. Don't go saying it like your the worlds smartest person.

My fro is 4ft, FYI.
Plus, I'm not the only one who doesn't believe you.
I refer you to my question - where is the POST - Where is the BIOS management, where is the ACPI info? Where?
-
Okay, I'm going to play the "end this crap" card.
How can I get a copy of this? I've got a spare PC here, and will be more than willing to install this and run with it for a while (and to essentially prove its authenticity as an OS). It wouldn't be a permanent thing, but for a day or two.
-
Thats going to be difficult since it doesn't exist. You just don't create an OS. I don't know why you think anyone would think that a bunch of kids did. If you did have enough brain cells to do what you say you did, then im sure you did not start from scratch. Anyway provide the proof. Not the edited (and im quite certain thats not an original) video and perhaps people will start believing you.

Haha, I know that (at least for now). I want whatever program/OS/slideshow that was presented in that video to "test".
Just call me Adam Savage from here.

Kyle! I didn't know you were black!

Im pretty sure he's white. :P

He's as white as they come. :P
I'm getting tired of this thread now. If arguing breaks out its getting locked, FYI.
