Updates
I have to update you guys on things that have been going on. It's been a very dark time for all of us in America, from the pandemic which is still ongoing to the unrest happening around the country due to the brutal death of George Floyd. Because of all the events, I feel like tracking hurricanes and posting here are no longer one of my top priorities. I'm more prioritized on following the news right now to keep up to date with the current events, because these are really uncertain times. Tomorrow is also Blackout Tuesday so I will generally avoid social media, that includes this wiki, in order to mourn his death and contemplate. I encourage anyone reading this to do the same. As you can see, I changed my PFP to a fist to show support for …
Vision for 2020, planned design changes
As you all know, this decade is coming to a close. This decade will be very memorable for sure, being the decade I grew up from a child to an adult. I went from being a prepubescent boy at the decade's beginnings, reached puberty in the next couple years and became a teenager, spent the middle years of the decade as a teen, and grew into adulthood in the last few years of this decade. I've also first developed an interest for tracking hurricanes back in September 2010, creating an account here and at Hypothetical Hurricanes Wiki a few years later. Since then my interest has remained pretty strong and I've witnessed many users of this wiki come and go. I joined this wiki at a time when it was replete with users who are now inactive. However…
The fate of this wiki
This wiki nowadays just seems so...dead. And it's a deadness that feels much more typical for off-season months like January-April than for October. It feels like I am the only user who actually updates and posts about areas of interest or new systems around the world. While other users still occasionally chime in to post about active storms, such as Jas, Ryan, Sandy, Beatissima, Dylan, and some more inactive users, the forums overall seem unusually dead in comparison to past years. With this decrease in activity, I feel like this wiki is about to take a turn for the worst, like what was seen around 2009-10 when very few users posted at all even during Atlantic hurricane season.
To see examples of the inactivity that I'm talking about, take…
Another username renaming
I'm going to talk to you guys about another username change that I'm going to do tomorrow. To be honest, I never actually liked the name "SteazySteve" much, I only picked it because "SteezySteve" was taken and I had to misspell "Steezy" on purpose. I thought "SteezySteve" would be a great name considering Steezy and Steve both start with the same 3 letters. Also, I couldn't really think of any better name than that. My new username will be "StevDev". It combines the first four letters of my first name with the first three letters of my last name. And both sections end with "v", which I think is very fitting and makes for a nicer username than "SteazySteve". It doesn't appear that StevDev is taken. What do you guys think of my new upcoming …
