Any old Talk Weather people here?

✋ (idk if it was from the start though, it was late 2010-2016 when it shut down for a while)

There's more of us, I'd say this forum is a combo old TW people with American guys that were disgruntled with the way the forum was going. By the time TW was brought back up it was too late to get most of us to go back at least to me.
 
Wright Weather was the first weather forum I found. Then Almanac Weather forums and Accuweather forums. Then Eastern.
 
I got a bold prediction for winter 20-21 that is based off nothing but gut feeling:

At least 70-80% of this board will see 6+ inches of snow.
I Saw 2 videos tonight saying that a weak La Nina will develop. At least it will be different than the last two years. Not sure if there's much difference in a weak la nina or moderate though.
 
From the looks of it, I’m extremely new to weather boards. I lurked on American late 2018, I followed them during the December storm, and remembering how active they were. Then the crickets came, and I discovered this board last winter.
 
I started on TW in 2002.. I was 13 lol. I still lived in Alabama then and had never set foot in Texas

I remember EasternWX before AmWx too and some board The Weather Channel had which I remember being on in 2001(back when they aired weather...) my weather interest was going before we had internet, I remember drawing weather maps when I was bored in school in the mid/late 90s and everyone knew I was the weatherman(even the teachers lol), I was tracking hurricanes as far back as 1995 for sure(the big active year before 2005), and I vaguely remember the blizzard of 93 in Alabama

I turn 32 this month. Yikes. :p

I'm pretty much a lurker here with occasional posts but I started on talkweather too, just not sure on thr exact year. It was before April 27, 2011 because I vividly remember reading thr boards as it was happening so it had to be before then.
 
What happened to TW? I remember somebody said they've been around since the early 2000s. What happened to all their threads, since it only goes back to 2017?

Site crashed, backups were questionable or didn't exist, hurricane Matthew came and went, no one restarted the site, we started this site, TW magically appeared online the next day

Suddenly disappeared in October 2016 shortly before Hurricane Matthew started to attack the southeast US due to hardware failure. I actually remember this because I remember talking Matthew, and then I couldn't with most of this group.

By the time it was back, a lot of us had already moved on because Shawn created this forum. Well, some do post on both, but most have moved on.

I think it was a major software crash...went dormant for about 6-8 months and was rebuilt under new leadership. By that time most of us had moved here because I think @Storm5 and others took the opportunity to build this site. TalkWeather is basically a ghost town now.
 
What’s the nastiest thing you have ever done plz quote this original post when replying thanks
 
Ghislaine Maxwell Arrested In New Hampshire

She will sing like a canary to save her own skin. Very interested to see what she shares and If they allow it out.
She will die before she ever utters the first word. Will probably have a highly unusual choking accident on some bubble gum. Or they'll be transporting her in a Tesla, which will spontaneously combust. Or her head will mysteriously vanish, surprisingly witnessed by no one.
