Local Forecast / Re: New May 2010 Playlist

« on: April 20, 2010, 06:25:44 PM »

This playlist sounds a lot like July 2009, but good playlist though.

When I first herd it, I thought it was the July 2009 playlist being re-used. lol

TWC Fan Art / Re: Trevor's Artwork

Looks nice, however these need to be fixed:
TWC logo is stretched, use "Keep Aspect Ratio" in the toolbox
Crop the image to remove excess transparency
Use these icons: sdk.zip (1.5 MB)

Local Forecast / Re: LDL Ads (Suggestion)

I agree, but however I'm sure they use that for advertising. They could at least make the gradients / colors the same.

WeatherSTAR Tech Support / Re: LDL Tab Bar Error

Are the tabs outside of the Local effected?  Or just during the Local?

It only happens during the local forecast.

Broken LDL during WW53

This occurred during Severe T'Storm Watch 53. This can also pose as a safety risk, since some people may tune into TWC half-way through the Local forecast, and may not be notified of the watch.
Whoops, wrong WW number.

I would assume it qualifies under the Fair Use Doctrine.

should I upload this HQ shot of the WV intro to replace the current low-res one on Wikipedia?

No. There are reasons for me saying no that involve copyright.

TWC Today News / Re: TWC Classics and TWC Today

« on: March 12, 2010, 08:29:01 PM »

All valid points. Appreciate your thoughts and opinions. Here are just a few of my opinions and thoughts in response to yours   

1. I personally feel having the two forums together would increase activity of both eras. Plus TWCC does have a current TWC section already and we have a classic section. According to the forum stats it seems the current section of TWCC has more activity than the classic section.
2. The admin team of TWCC would be allowed the same positions here unless otherwise specified by one of them.
4. You are correct the two communities are different. TWCC has a large member base and we would hope that more activity and more opportunities to interact would encourage more to participate.
5. The sites TWCToday.com and TWCClassics.com will remain the same. The only thing changing is the forum. twcclassics.com/forum would redirect here. TWCC itself is not going anywhere!
6. Matt and I will continue are current hosting plans. Nothing new will be needed.
7. Matt is going to stop paying for IPB in the next month or so meaning the TWCC forums as they currently are will be converted to SMF anyway soon.
8. This would be dealt with on a situation by situation basis.
9. Thanks for your thoughts  Hope I have been able to answer some of your questions/concerns.

In response to this: I am changing my vote to yes. xD

The problem with that is font size, how easily it can be noticed, and how long the text is displayed. The old one still achieves all of these, which is why I believe TWC hasn't updated the warning LDL.

I will have to cast my vote as to no. I have several points as to why.

• Some people do not want to be engaged with conversation of current twc or older twc
• What will the solution be for administration? Will we have more admins that we would need?
• How would the database be migrated / merged?
• Truly, TWCT and TWCC have 2 different community types (besides the fact that one is today and one is classic)
• There can't be a specific domain name like twctodayforums.com or twcclassics.com. This means additional costs.
• Additional hosting costs
• Only one forum software type can be chosen.
• What would happen to the people that are banned at TWCC and not TWCT, or vice versa?
• In my opinion, TWCC and TWCT are two different communities, and should remain as such.
