TWC boards '99

I was going to say I think either you or Dan pre-date all of us.

[LithiaWx]

I'm an Accuweather transplant... When I stated seeing links to this board in the discussions on Accuweather I started reading A LOT on Eastern and not posting. After about 6-12 months of lurking I finally created an account on Eastern and then came over here once it became American wx. Perhaps add an option for other boards as a voting option. I've only been around Eastern/American for about two years but I've been posting on Accuweather since early 2008.

Damn that is a long time !!

[WeatherNC]

lurked in 04, joined Eastern in 05

[chapelhillwx]

I've been on the Accuwx forums since October '09 but began to hang around on Eastern when I saw how much better it was during events. I came here as soon as I heard it existed.

[burgertime]

I joined Eastern in 08 I believe.

[icebreaker5221]

Started lurking Eastern possibly as early as 06, but didn't start posting there until 08.

However, there was another forum somewhere, can't remember the name of it, that I started lurking even before Eastern, where there was someone named JetStreamBob and everyone posted links to wxrisk daily like DT was God.

I've only been here 3 months. I tried registering at Eastern a couple of years ago, but ran into some problems so I've been lurking until I joined here over the summer.

[downeastnc]

I posted on TWC board, but after it quit I really didnt post much at WWBB. Was mostly at S2K winter of 2002 and hung out theretill I discovered Eastern in Sept 06.

I lurked at Eastern for a couple of years before I joined in '09.

2007: I can't imagine being on this board during the big storms such as 1993, Jan 2000 or the mega ice storm of Dec 2002. One day soon their will be a historical storm for our region and it will be awesome tracking it on this board.

[Mr Bob]

Registered at WWBB in Jan or Feb 2002 but had read some in 01 and some ne.weather when other mets commented on it at my old place of work... I used to be an admin at eastern also...kind of took the enjoyment out of it for the last couple of years...

oct-01. first real storm i experienced on the boards was December 2002 icestorm over at wwbb. there were about 20 or so SE posters that are still around today that i remember from back then.

I posted some on Accuweather and also on the Old Farmers Almanac; then went to Eastern and finally here. I was definitely a lot more knowledgeable (in peer comparison) on the Old Farmer’s Almanac. Big fish small pond, now small fish big pond; but that’s ok.

[kennedy]

I started on WWBB after the really bad storm in 2001 or 2002? I remember buying my first computer on 9/11. I bring no useful purpose to the board but i enjoy weather and wow we have some awesome posters on here!

[Pathfinder]

I started on WWBB back in 2002 or 2003, can't remember exactly. Mostly lurked in the beginning, posted more at Eastern.

I did the same I was on WU first, then opened a weather forum with another person, specifically for the SE region, then I found Eastern. My prayers were answered when I found it as it was finally a place where I didn't have to do so much research, forecasting or explaining and updating, and I could enjoy discussing and learning about the things that only ones with Met degrees/hard core enthusiast could explain. I found a new home with the best people and have learned so much more than I possibly could have imagined.

I have so many weather related memories from the board..

The warnings about Katrina before she made landfall

1/23/03 being the best positive bust in my life

Our subforum owning LC into submission in Dec 2005

The huge march snowstorm in 2009 that ended 4 years of snow drought in the lower/western piedmont

Last spring's severe season all across the nation

Pretty much the same for me.

[EmersonGA]

Started lurking in late 2004 and didn't join for a year or two. The board was pretty rough back then and i took me awhile to feel I had a grasp of the culture. The SE crew is great though. Much different than other parts of the board.

power never went out here, but it's memorable for the shear qpf. i had 7 inches of snow/sleet and .5 to .75 freezing rain on top. most of the freezing rain was with temps near 31/32. the QPF equivalent was probably over 2 inches easily. it was such a long and heavy duration event. don't care what anyone say's, nothing beats a good icestorm...(;

[Gastonwxman]

Lurked for a while during 2009 then joined that September for Eastern's last year before the switch in November 2010. I remember some of the greatest discussions over there (and went back to read those while they were still there). Wish I had saved a few of those topics. Some of them contained fantastic analyses of different events, especially those made for the winter seasons.

WWB 2001 for me.

These are all great memories -- I'll never see LC's name again without immediately thinking of the Dec. 2005 ice storm ownage.
