General Discussion / Re: The Front Porch
« on: June 25, 2010, 08:04:09 PM »TWCT was originally just a free hosted message board, which opened in early 2005, but the TWCT we know now didn't launch until June 2007. The site actually launched around early-mid June; this particular SMF forum just didn't open until the 25th (after we encountered an issue with the old Invision-esque forum).Sorry for the sudden topic change, but Happy 3rd Birthday to TWC Today!!
That's strange...I thought this site had been around since 2005.
And it's worth noting that the original forum wasn't called "TWC Today." It was just a TWC/weather-themed message board run by Gary. The "TWC Today" name didn't come into effect until after Matt said that he would stop all current content on TWC Classics.

I want to use it for my car to listen to streams which I couldn't do with a wifi connection.Its called the iPhone
I wonder if I can get an iPhone and not have it activated so I can just use it as an ipod.

Never got a drop of rain here. The line of storms that hit Mike just went to my north. They got rain 5 miles up the road, but none here.
In other news, I went to Olive Garden for the first time tonight.
