Programming and Graphics / Re: Question About the Male OCMs

I'm with you, Dylan. I haven't watched TWC in awhile, but the whole sans-tie thing annoys me. If you're a professional, you should look the part. When you don't, it tells me you don't take your job seriously.

Local Forecast / Re: Classic LF Questions

I'm sure what happened in the video I posted was a technical glitch. They happened every now and then. As far as the "classic" years go, it's whatever your experiences were. For me, it's 1982-1999. My interest began to wane around 1996, went down further in 2000, and basically went off the map in 2005.

Is that how the real 4000's radar looked towards the end? I've never seen that before.

Yes, to answer to the above questions...

I don't seem to have permissions to edit the menus anymore.

TWC Today News / Re: Some changes on the Forum

I do wonder why the TWCC tab is gone though.

The TWCC subforums are now under the "Classics - The Weather Channel from 1982-1999" section.

cc17926 - Can I re-add my menu (with links to my site) to the top of the forums?

The whole staying home thing is BS. I understand the seriousness of the virus, but shutting the country down for a month is insane. Millions have already lost their job and business are having to close permanently (kind of hard to stay open with no money coming in). I hope every politician that supported this loses their job in November.

General Discussion / Re: I haven't been online here in a bit more than a year- what all has changed?

« on: August 23, 2019, 10:52:50 PM »

I still vividly remember the day TWC lost power back in the mid 2000s. There was a thread on my now defunct message board that had 10 pages of posts the evening it happened. When I checked it out the next morning, it had exploded to 60 pages! I guess you could say that that thread went "viral" before "going viral" was a thing.

Unfortunately, it seems like a lot of fans of the past have moved on to other things. I still post new content to TWCC almost every week, though!

Based on the user name, you can probably listen to the full version of many of their other songs.

Local Forecast / Re: "December Snow" by Dover

« on: April 12, 2019, 07:20:24 PM »

I managed to get a hold of Timothy Bright, the artist behind Dover, on this site.  Long story short, he lost the masters to his two songs that played in 1998 many years ago. So I guess we can add them to the "never to be found" list, like "Hello There" and many others during that time frame.

Dang! I've always liked the Christmas one.

OCMs & Personalities / Bill Evans

« on: February 18, 2019, 06:28:26 PM »

Does anyone know who Bill Evans is? I got an email from someone asking about his whereabouts. Not being familiar with the name, I assume he joined TWC in recent years.
