« on: August 18, 2008, 12:04:21 AM »Don't we already pay enough taxes?Interesting.Gil, you spoke of Fox and NBC in comparison to TWC. The difference there my friend is that the latter are network stations. They depend much more on commercial revenue than do most cable channels. That's because most cable channels are able to charge cable co.'s to carry them, whereas most network channels do not charge.Uhh...what?
If you are going to make a fair comparison, you need to compare TWC to other cable channels.
I meant former, not latter.
It's a pretty simply concept really. When you can't charge the cable co. to carry your channel you gotta make money somehow.
TWC should start taxing viewers directly.

Brian hasn't been around long enough yet for me to feel as though I can make an honest opinion. I can say that I was not fond of Steve's earlier and later choices. So far Brian has done alright, IMO.

« on: August 17, 2008, 08:43:49 PM »Who is solosoul?A former TWCC user who started out nice but turned out he was a hacker and insulter. Fortunately, someone at another forum I go to called Solosoul's mother and he was banned from the computer from what I heard (this was about two years ago). Not sure if he'll ever return, though.
He still has his account at TaigaNet, but he hasn't been active since he "left" more than two years ago after the incident where TWCC got hacked (it turned out he was the one who did this), the same time he got his account closed at TWCC for the same reason.
http://www.taiganet.com/forum/index.php?showuser=175
Yeah, that dude was nothing short of a FREAK. He would always tell me he's gonna "Call the po-po" on me for "harassing" him.
LOL, po-po? Doubt he cares.
Joking, of course, about the Pope.

« on: August 17, 2008, 11:31:08 AM »Hey, did you guys hear NBC bought TWC? *runs*
What? Didn't CBS get the deal? Solosoul will be so upset now that TWC's not merging with CBS Sports.
(disclaimer: some of you new-comers won't remember the creeper who called himself solosoul)
What a nutcase that guy was.
