Announcing the Launch of AccuWeather.com Forums

New Place for Users to Discuss Weather, Share Stories, and Seek Inside Information

(State College, PA - January 30, 2008) - AccuWeather.com today announced the launch of the AccuWeather.com Forums, a place for threaded discussion on a variety of topics. The Forums attracted thousands of users while still in Beta testing and is already proving to be a very popular element for the AccuWeather.com online community.

"People turn to AccuWeather.com for the best in all things weather, so we're happy to add the AccuWeather.com Forums to the features we offer our users," said Robert Henry, General Manager for AccuWeather.com. "The weather has major impact on all of our lives and our users have embraced the opportunity to discuss their questions and observations with each other and with the expert meteorologists that visit and moderate our forums."

The Forums appeal to die-hard weather hobbyists and casual weather watchers alike, with a range of groups including: Your Weather Stories; Astronomy; Kids' Weather; Weather Questions; Weather on TV/Movies/Internet; and The AccuWeather Insider. A tongue-in-cheek appreciation of weather is evident on the board. Many users proudly display their hometown weather with an AccuWeather.com netWeather widget in their profile, and users are ranked from "whirlwind" to "F5 Superstorm" depending on number of posts. All users of the free AccuWeather.com site are able to visit and read the AccuWeather.com Forums, and only a short, simple registration is required before posting.
