TWC Classics and TWC Today

[Jonathan]

I vote yes! I like TWC Classics, but I like the forum here (and SMF in general) more.  I'd love combining the two sites...we could have the best of both worlds.

If you are a member of TWCC, I strongly encourage you to voice your opinion on this over there as well

Yeah it seems the members in TWCC are not liking the idea as opposed to here

[twcclassics]

I will have to cast my vote as to no. I have several points as to why.

• Some people do not want to be engaged with conversation of current twc or older twc
• What will the solution be for administration? Will we have more admins that we would need?
• How would the database be migrated / merged?
• Truly, TWCT and TWCC have 2 different community types (besides the fact that one is today and one is classic)
• There can't be a specific domain name like twctodayforums.com or twcclassics.com. This means additional costs.
• Additional hosting costs
• Only one forum software type can be chosen.
• What would happen to the people that are banned at TWCC and not TWCT, or vice versa?
• In my opinion, TWCC and TWCT are two different communities, and should remain as such.

Even though Martin has already answered your questions, I'd like to make a few points.

1 - I wasn't aware that people were required to participate in certain discussions here. Usually, when I see a topic that doesn't interest me, I don't read it. 

4 - We brought back subforums for "current" Weather Channel discussions over a year ago. Current TWC content was also re-introduced to the site some time ago.

8 - They would still be banned.

I think only two people have voted no or unsure.

I'd go for it too... but there's one major point I'm surprised no one has brought up: how will the STAR team be involved with the merger?

The STAR Team will likely continue their operations here. The person behind it has already been a member here.

I know who that person is but I thought the STAR TEAM was a group of people, not one person.

Not at the moment at least. Sure its a group of people at TWC but not who visit the forums

Matt, whatever font you use for the logo on your forums, could you send a copy of it my way (with whatever variations you have (bold, thin, etc)), via PM? I want to start working on forum logo concepts....

Ask Tyler, he does my logos.

The font is Myriad. It should be on your computer already, if you have an MS Office suite.

I'm all for it as well!!!
I'm a member of both sites, and it would be great to see the two of them merge. That would really boost up the energy in the forums here!!!

[curtjr4]

I'm also for it

[lfmusiclover]

I have no problem with this either. Has it been cleared with TWC? Or at least with the STAR team? How will this affect the administration team? We already have, what, 5 or 6 admins here, plus 2 more in Matt and Tyler? Are we really gonna need 7 or 8 administrators? Also, will, and how will, the content of the 2 forums be merged?
