Is it me or is it starting to go 
But anyway i will insert my feelings
TWO COLUMNS
Good things Bad things
1. People who are banned cannot 1. New people cannot look at it
see what is going on these forums before they join, so they dont
know what is on the boards
2. It blocks the spammers from
accessing your forum 2. The new people might be turned
away cause of stated above
3. The forum is more secure
What should be done is a combo of those good and bad things (not easily can be done though)

Everything Else TWC / Re: When did you first discover TWC?
« on: August 29, 2007, 07:55:35 PM »
I began liking TWC in about the summer of 96, i became watching it more and more and by spring 98 it was a daily routine of mine. I dont remember my STAR 3000, if i even had one. When i started watching it, i had a 4000 (i can tell cause i remember the LOT8 graphics) I did NOT like how the radar worked on my 4000, 1/2 time it said Temp Unavailable (in blue box) and the only time i saw a blue bar on the top with Current Radar on it (with my 4000 at least) I liked the 98-01 graphics with the 4000 as well as the XL v1. then in 02 i got a computer and started getting forecasts from that and my TWC watching went downhill. I watched TWC in Mornings in 96-02, Nights from 98-05, by the time they got the new logo I didnt watch TWC a lot.
