Should the TWCC presence stay?

[Tyler]

I see no problem keeping the forum. Like previously mentioned, interest in TWC in general has declined, at least in my opinion. But you should do what you feel is best.

I just wanted to say that I do not think that those sections should be removed because I do not see a big enough reason to. Although I'm definitely not as active as I used to be, I don't hate TWC's changes at all, and I think that the classic content should be kept intact, since those were "the glory days" to many of TWC's fans, including myself. If you're going to leave the classics site up, you might as well leave the name in this site because that was a pretty big event in itself. I'm a firm believer of "if it ain't broke, don't fix it."

Just so we're all on the same page, most of you are against removing the parts highlighted in the attached screen shot. Right?

To answer your above question, Matt, I personally don't see why the name "twc classics" in the logo and the "TWC Classics" subforum (regarding information on the TWCC site) should be removed if we will still have content on the classic TWC (that is, keeping "The Weather Channel: 1982-1999" subforums. IMO, if we keep one, we keep them both. If we get rid of one, we get rid of them both.

I've had a couple of PMs on the subject so I will basically repeat what Matt has said. The merge of the TWCC/TWCT forums was to promote activity and provide a central location where we all could discuss issues and topics of interest. Unfortunately there hasn't been much interest or enthusiasm for the classic material.  Matt is proposing that because of this TWC Classics should remove its presence from the forum and this partnership.  The database of members that were transferred over after the merge would obviously stay and anyone is welcome to post. Classic boards would also remain since TWC Today has promoted the discussion of current and classic content since before the merge. Really the only items removed will be the forums highlighted in Matts previous post and the name. The TWC Today/TWC Classics forum would become the TWC Today Forums once again. Matt has mentioned possibly creating a blog or some other method for getting news and updates about his site up.

As I mentioned earlier I feel that we should remain together. The TWC Today/Classics name promotes the coming together of two important forums. Going back to TWC Today seems to devalue the enormous contribution that the TWC Classics Forum has brought through the years. After all it was the community that started all of this! Please continue to post your comments and let us know what you think!!

I respect Matt's wishes and agree with his proposal

Unless the "classic" part of the forum is actually taking up space and it's becoming a hindrance, or it's costing someone extra money to keep it here, or people are complaining that it just doesn't "fit," I can't see any reason to get rid of it.  What's wrong with information for the sake of information?  Leave it available in case someone would like to post in there, or even just read what's already there, as I do from time to time.

Why take choices away from people just because these choices aren't the most popular in a forum?  Who would be hurt by leaving them the way they are?  Would the benefit really be that great by getting rid of them?

Thanks to everyone who commented! I guess we'll leave things as they are. I honestly didn't expect anyone to care, so this is good.

I'm glad everything will stay as it is.

Me, too.

I also like it as it is now. 
If it wasn't for TWC Classics, I wouldn't be able to find the good music, and to remember some of the neat people who worked there - I only vaguely remember the mid-80s watching at my grandmother's house, but got cable myself in January, 1989, so it does take me back.

I wouldn't change it - discussion might be in recession mode now anyway.

I may not have even been alive during said period of Classic TWC, but I still enjoy having the discussion here. I've determined I don't care about present-day TWC and only want classics from the beginning of TWC to 2004. It also adds some variety having TWCC here.
