LOL, I can't believe he was dumb enough to think that it would actually work!

TWC Today News / Re: To All Members
« on: August 27, 2007, 07:03:53 PM »So let me get this straight..you think there's a better chance that people will randomly happen to have a tape of classic footage, then that they'll happen to randomly have a tape of footage form say 2003? I don't see how. I'm not taking your comments as mean, just....a bit short of logic?Well...um...no...someone out there might have some good footage from 2000-now, but there's more of a chance for an older site (reference TWCC, 1982-2000). The probability lies in the sheer amount of time that's been covered. Trust me...if I would have had clips (or anything for that matter) from that time period, I would have contributed it a long time ago.
If I thought no one would have a rare tape from now, I'd have written you off and laughed at you and said you would have no chance of succeeding. I genuinely don't think that. Heck, I didn't even get into TWC until a couple of years ago.
I just can't understand how you figure that there's more of a chance that a classic site has a better chance. There are several factors which (one would think) would severely impact the probability that an classics site might get footage. First, time. The footage given to TWCC is anywhere from 8-25 years old. For a VHS tape (which is where most footage comes form) thats like a gazillion years. Most are no longer even viewable after that kind of time. Then there's the matter of the weather itself. I could be wrong, but its my opinion that there have been far more weather events this decade so far then in the last two combined. With so many huge weather events taking place over the past seven years, people have certainly taped stuff.
I personally think its a simple matter of luck. Anytime someone comes forward with contributions, its luck. And either type of site could easily have such luck.

Though I am somewhat unsure about the possible effects, I have decided to make it so that guests cannot view the forum unless they register. This is being done on a trial basis right now. Depending on what happens, it may become permanent, or I may decide to allow guests to once again view the boards. I'm not too crazy about this measure, but it seems that TWC Classics is doing just fine with such a measure in place. That's why its only being done on a trial basis at this time.
As always your questions and comments are welcome.

Good, that means I've set it up right.
And yes Thunder, its an Admin chat forum. We admins seem to have some communications troubles, so I put up the admin forum as a way of trying to alleviate that problem. But rest assured, we won't be saying nasty things about anyone, or anything else that shouldn't be said. We're not "hiding" or anything.

Yup but I wasn't talking about that. I was talking about the fact that now every other Tom, Dick, and Harry wants to advertise their TWC forum, when folks like Matt and I are trying to run true TWC websites, not just forums.

I've added a new forum to the board, but only we admins can see it. If your not an admin and can see it, let me know. Likewise if your an admin and can't.
