I have the WeatherStar Junior and Weatherscan emulator boards hidden here since nothing seems to be going on with those projects, but now the ignore feature doesn't seem to be working. I check the boards I want ignored and hit change profile, but the boards are still there. 

You can see the Jr boards?

Unless I'm colourblind, I see no difference with the "golden" stars.

The stars used to be blue for everyone. You have green stars 'cause your special.

O'rly? The stars look red to me.

Thats red?

General Discussion / Re: SyFy (formerly Sci-Fi Channel) to Broaden its Horizons

« on: September 05, 2009, 04:56:41 PM »

SciFi completely died to me withing the past few years. The re-branding to SyFy is just stupid. By cutting the extremely popular actual SciFi shows from their lineup, they lost a large portion of their dedicated viewers. ex. Stargate, Gallactica, etc.

So lets wrap this up

• SciFi is merged into NBC Universal
• SciFi cuts its core programming in an attempt to appeal to a bigger audience
• SyFy is completely rebreanded and radically different content is introduced
• SyFy gets more viewers because more people watch the wide variety of shows instead of the genre specific shows that once aired
• While the channel remains alive and well watched, the channel is dead to people who like the genres that used to air
Hmmm well this sounds familiar 

• The Weather Channel is purchased by NBC Universal


• TWC cuts its core programming in an attempt to appeal to a bigger audience

Wonder how far down the list we are going to go

The NHC has posted the last advisory on Erika. I we may have seen the last of this system. It may be tough but I think there might be a slight chance to reform. Nearly all the models insists it
