Retirement of 2008
Anyone want to guess about storm names for retirement this year? I have 2 to 6 canidates up for retirement (in my view). They are mentioned below.

Anyone else want to discuss?

Attention everyone
Yes, I am still alive. This evening I saw this on my watchlist on Wikipedia (where I have been hanging out, making articles these days) The awesome hurricanes wiki link: go here 70.127.233.228 (talk) 7:41 pm, Today (UTC−8)

That is a violation of wikipedia:WP:FORUM. This is not the first time, this occurred, this is the fourth time, I think, actually. And I know who is doing that, Hurricane Owen is. Second, it might be my Wikipedia bias, but why are you adding all of this hurricane stuff, when adequate Wikipedia articles have already been created? As what happened last time at Andrew 44's blog, everyone got so hyped and thus started spamming edits. I don't think see any real purpose of the Awesome Hurricane Wiki, we should just stick to one wiki IMO. I suggest the creater of the wiki requests deletion of the wiki. And for to quote what is on owen's user page "Please start some activity on there to so that these forums aren't to crowded." It is just my 2 cents, but I'd prefer to user IRC to prevent that.

With the above said, I feel this wiki does have potential. We are getting more and more people, and this off-season, I hope people don't leave. I feel we should do some fun stuff like have forecasting contests, make videos, talk about past storms, learn about other basins, give factual presentations, ect. Given the fact we have Hurricane Kenneth going on, we could talk about late-season EPAC hurricanes on IRC, or learn about them. Given the fact that a SWIO betting poll was made, I have an idea, split the SHEM forum into the three basins.

Any thoughts will be welcome.
