If you haven't noticed already, some changes have taken place this evening. In an effort to end the feud between TWCT and TWCC, Matt and I have agreed to a compromise. On his end, he has combined all the 200-current boards into one, and in the board description refers his members to TWCT for more in depth current TWC discussion. On my end, I have created a Classic TWC board, and as Matt did, I have referred people to TWCC for more in depth classic TWC discussion.

We are both extremely happy with this compromise, and hope that all of our members will be too.  :sunglasses:

EDIT: Just so we're clear, no one was forced or obligated to make this compromise. Matt came up with this completely on his own, with no assistance from me whatsoever. The best part is that this agreement did not require either of us to compromise anything. Everything that has been on both forums will continue to be there. We both disliked feuding, and wanted to bring it to an end.

Gary and Matt, please just take this as constructive criticism and nothing more, but I don't really like this idea. While this may end the feud between this and Matt's site, I don't think this is going to help increase activity here. It just looks weird having only one subforum to discuss the current TWC.

I can definitely see how this will benefit the site. :yes: At TWCC, you have one subforum to talk about today's TWC, but if you want to go in depth, then you must come to TWC Today, and vice versa. And if you don't like the fact there's only one forum for current TWC discussion at TWCC, then stay here. ;)

Well, the attitude of Matt and I is basically this: anyone who doesn't like this will get used to it. But we've agreed to the changes, and their staying. So I'd suggest getting used to it, or your going to have a tough time of it both here and at TWCC.  :sunglasses:

Stephen, you hit the nail on the head. That was exactly the thought process between Matt and I. :yes:

Since Matt has locked his thread, I'm going to go ahead and do the same. Again, the decision was mutual, no one was forced into it, and both of us have to hold up our end of the bargain or the deal is off.  :sunglasses:

One other change to alert you to-members may now edit and delete their own posts. I'm doing this in an effort to "loosen the reigns", if you will. However, Iwill once again remove the privelege if I see it being abused.
