OCMs & Personalities / Re: Should They Keep WUWAI Say NO!
« on: October 31, 2012, 07:40:56 PM »
People like to complain about the complainers, but let's face it, there's nothing else to talk about on this forum. Pretty much no one here is interested in what TWC has become, and as a result, these forums now go days without posts compared to, say, four years ago when there was a new post every 5-10 minutes. TWC was interesting back then. There's nothing interesting left on TWC now. We might as well voice our opinions rather than leave the forums dead for days and days.
I honestly have to agree with you, Steve. Five years ago, when this forum was started, there were still lots of positive things to talk about TWC, and as a result things were active and vital here, with a generally positive attitude. Now, there's literally nothing positive, at least from the standpoint of the majority of the users, remaining about TWC anymore. I understand the whole idea about not bringing these kinds of issues up constantly, but how can you when there's nothing else to discuss? It's sad that this is what it has come to, but you certainly can't deny it. :no:

I have to say that I find it very positive that a forum administrator is expressing this opinion.  Generally, all I hear is that if you don't have something nice to say about what TWC has become, then don't say anything at all.  I honestly don't understand that sentiment, and I never have, but I hear it a lot.

That would be fine if they didn't also have city names and if I remember correctly from when I saw it temperatures for specific cities labeled on the map. That's what makes it look messy and cluttered to me.

I agree.  They're trying to cram too much into one space.

I noticed the 7 Day Forecast maps on air have been updated to include fronts/high pressure symbols on it. It looks terrible and makes the maps overall look more cluttered than they already were. I hope they get rid of that soon, it's very unnecessary imo. :no:

Maybe they're trying to recall the old-fashioned surface maps from many years ago, with green/white/orange speckles for precipitation, isobars, and fronts with pressure systems also indicated.

Sandy just gave me the wettest bike ride home from work I've ever had.  I got soaked straight through.  It was just... disgusting.

It wouldn't surprise me if they've started using dual feeds again... so only those immediately affected will get real weather information, while the rest of the country gets to "enjoy" the longform programming that TWC considers to be the purpose of the network now.

Amazing - New England goes more than a decade without a strike after Hurricane Bob, then two strikes in two years.

Yuck - Telemundo's new logo is even uglier!  But I guess that's the general industry trend right now - three dimensions and bulbous.

That looks like making something bubbly-3D just for the sake of making something bubbly-3D.  I don't like it.

Hopefully these changes will bring about some positive results, especially dropping shows about people who simply happen to work outside in various weather conditions.

That seems to be the trend everywhere these days.  Sitting down at a desk with neat stacks of paper is "old-fashioned" and "stuffy," while walking around, standing, gesticulating... that's "fresh" and "active."  :dunno:

Fewer OCMs = fewer live weather segments? :dunno: :(

I have to admit - my mental math skills are pretty much zero, even when I'm in a totally calm environment.  Beginning in high school (20-some years ago) we were taught to pretty much rely on the calculator for everything, but before that we were expected to come up with answers in our heads, which I just could never do.

This certainly has to be one of their more bizarre ideas. :dunno:

Wow... even though I was quite young, I remember Gloria like it was, well, not yesterday, but certainly not 27 years ago. :dunno:

The major downside to this, especially for us tropical enthusiasts, is that there is now zero satellite imagery for the Atlantic ocean.

Welcome back to 1960. Well, not really...but it's a setback. :P

I'm sure other countries' satellites must provide at least some coverage of the Atlantic Ocean.
