Why Only A Few Members?
« on: July 05, 2007, 08:38:23 AM »
Questions....

         1.  Why are there so few members on this forum?

         2. Is it fairly new?

         3.  Was it moved or disbanded at one time?

         4.  Is it for talking about the TWC in general or weather?

This inquiring mind wants to know!

Here are your answers:

1. Its fairly new, and so hasn't had enough time to build its membership just yet.

2. Yes

3. A few years back I had started a forum about TWC and had shut it down a month or so ago to create this one.

4. The primary focus of this board is TWC, but there is also a general weather section for folks who like to talk about the weather.

Hopefully I've answered your questions! If not, or if you have more questions, feel free to ask!

Are you talking about that ProBoards one? I remember that forum. I browsed around it a little and I think I registered on that forum (although I don't think I posted anywhere on there).

I use to have my own Proboards forum about two years ago. Then I gave up on it and deleted it about a year or so back. I don't like Proboards because it is not as customizable as IPB, you can't host a Proboards forum in your own server, and other reasons.

Yes, I'm talking about the Proboards forum. I got away from it for the same reason.

So this is more of a 'fan site' (which is cool) versus a site where it is run/authorized by TWC?

Yes, this is a fan site. TWC is not involved in this site in any way.

You know Gil, I came very close to removing that. I clicked the remove button, but  clicked cancel for some reason when it asked me if I was sure.

But it was completley unneccessary for you to say that. You basically repeated what I said, only your words were in a different order. What did your post add to this discussion that I didn't already say? Nothing. He's asking questions about the site, I run (and created the site) so I think I'm more than capable of answering his questions on my own. Now, if you would like to add something useful that I didn't already say, go for it.

Thanks for linking to the site! I really appreciate that!  8)

I don't know if you happen to be a member at any other Weather Channel or weather related forums, but if you are be sure to spread the word about us if you can! 8)
