General Discussion / Re: Swine Flu
« on: April 27, 2009, 08:55:20 PM »
Just out of curiosity, are most swine flu locations in Texas? :dunno: I ask because I thought I heard someone say that the flu got into the U.S. from people coming from Mexico. So obviously, it would start in Texas.

And today, our school district pratically freaked out, giving us letters, tips, and whatnot about staying healthy. :rolleyes:

Most of the cases of swine flu not in Mexico came from there, by way of vacationers who visited there, became ill, and broguht it into this and other countries. Texas has a few cases, but it doesn't necessarily have to have the most. I believe New York has the most at this time.

I'd still like to stick around either as an admin or regular member, if the new owner agrees to it, but I just don't want to deal with the work of updating and maintaining a website, nor with the financial side of it anymore. I just don't have the time, interest, or will.

Rest assured, I'm going to do everything I can to see to it this site doesn't go away. I'm sure I'll work something out with someone. If not Martin, then most definitely Tyler.  :thumbsup:

The one thing I ask, is that you don't let whoever is gonna run the site and forums, destroy and/or get rid of the design I spent 2 months working on ;) I'd be more than happy to teach whoever is going to run it the PHP and HTML necessary to make it work and create pages. This will remain in the air.
Well, I really don't have any control over that Jesse. That would be between you and the new owner. I suspect Martin would be jsutfine letting your design stay, though if Tyler takes the reigns I suspect he'd want to create designs of his own (after all, that IS what he does  :D ).  B)

I've spoken with Martin, and he is now thinking things over. He's going to get back to me when he makes a decision. I will also be speaking to Tyler who has also expressed interest. Competitor or not, he's a damn good choice. It's definitely between him and Martin at this point. Jesse, should it not work out with either of them, I'll talk to you.

TWC Today News / The Future Of TWC Today
« on: April 27, 2009, 01:02:01 PM »
You guys have probably noticed lately that my presence here has dwindled to a precious few minutes each day, and my posting activity here has dwindled to practically none. In a nutshell, this is because my life has changed in several ways.

I started this site back in August of 2007. At the time, I was bored, and had lots of free time on my hands. I very seldom went out anywhere, had no friends, and no girlfriends. Nor did I desire any. I didn't like where I lived, and didn't feel compelled to socialize and make friends. I started the site because I figured it would give me something to do, which it sure has (in proportions I never expected!). I also didn't have a problem with spending money on hosting and server services. I really didn't have anything else at the time to allocate the money to, so the ~$25 per month I spend for the site was no big deal.

Fast forward to today. I'm pretty sure I told you guys last August that I had moved back to my hometown, where I grew up and lived for 15 years. If I didn't say it here I know I mentioned it in my blog, so you may have read about it there. At any rate, I had hoped that coming back here would reignite the social fire that burnt out when I left, and it has, in bigger ways than I could have imagined. I've met friends, girls, and just generally have gotten back the social life I left behind when I left almost 6 years ago. I don't spend a whole lot of time in front of the computer anymore. On top of all this, I still have the Amazon/Ebay business that I've been running for almost 2 years now. I've also recently reinstated my car insurance policy, and have also recently purcahsed a cell phone and service.

Simply put, my interest in this site has waned dramatically, and I don't believe its temporary. I also don't think I want to continue funneling money into it that can be better spent elsewhere (my car insurance, for example  :P ). Current TWC has never been a big devotion of mine anyhow. My interest was and still is in classic TWC. Therefore, I've made the heart wrenching decision to cease operations of this site and forum. It was a very difficult decision, but one I think is right.

That said, there IS one thing that can save this site. If there is anyone here who is interested in taking over the site, then perhaps it can continue on. I can transfer everything over to you, and you can assume control of and payment for the site. If your interested, let me know. Barring that, the site will cease operations on or about May 13.

I've had a great time running this site, and meeting all the people that have joined this forum over the nearly two years its been up. We've certainly made alot of very big LF music discoveries here, and had lots of fun.

General Discussion / Re: Swine Flu

Actually, most of those flu's will probably never be able to attain the ability to pass to humans.

As for this swine flu, while I do think its a medical emergency that needs to be carefully monitored, I don't think its going to start a full fledged pandemic. For one thing, several flu medications have been found to be effective in treating it. That's very important. Second, all of the swine flu cases seen outside of Mexico originated there, in most cases the poeple who became ill traveled there at some point. It will be crucial to see if this flu can now be spread from these already ill people to others who are totally unconnected to the outbreak. Third, this flu has been extremely mild in every country except Mexico. That's the only place where there have been deaths, and where there has been the most illness.

Lastly, keep in mind that all of our past pandemics occurred when medical care was rather primitive. This is 2009. Medical care has come so far since the last pandemic in the 60's that its hard to imagine another pandemic occurring, except under the most severe of circumstances.

Doesn't sound like a good idea. He's not a morning person.

Back in the 90's he was on in the mornings. This was before YWT came into being.  :yes:

I've never seen a McDonalds that looked even remotely similar to that one.  :fear:
