What are the secret, inner workings of the nefarious machine that is the WWW board?

Essentially, we receive underground intelligence reports from our ultra-secret, ninja-like Weenie SWAT team members, via a modern and sophisticated electronic communications system which we here at the home office like to call 'e-mail'. Once every week or so, the Supreme High Council of the WWWWWWVB meet in their supersecret split-level cave forty miles beneath the surface of the earth to vote on the week's transgressors. Much like the Highlander, There Can Be Only One Weather Weenie Of The Week, unless we get more than one nomination, in which case, there'll sometimes be two. Or more. We're not really all that particular.

How can I become a member of the MiB, the supersecret Weenie SWAT Team?

There are two methods whereby one may join the best of the best of the best:

• The potential Weenie SWAT Team operative must prove their ability to succesfully operate in a hostile, weenie-strewn environment by satisfying a strict training regime consisting of holistic meditation, training in use and analysis of modern weenie-detecting technology, mastery of the weather-oriented martial arts (both armed and unarmed) and intensive study of the art of stealth. Only the very wise, strong of heart, and pure of soul will have what it takes to survive the training regime.
• Alternately, you can just narc out a friend who weenies themselves by sending email to rozoff@atmos.colostate.edu. If it's sufficiently cool, you're in!

How can I join the elite ranks of the WWWWWWVB and claim a share in the immense power therein?

You can't, grasshopper. Our kung fu is simply too powerful to be matched by your feeble skills.

I see you are both wise and powerful, master. What, then, is the history of the WWW board?

The CSU Atmospheric Science Dept Weather Weenie board used to be a bunch of papers stuck up on Mark Branson and Ian Baker's office door from 1989 until the fall of 1991 when they moved to the simlab and it was abandoned.

Sometime in '92, the list was moved from the papers to an online mailing list and web page with the help of Ian Baker and Kelley Wittmeyer.

As of May 1995, the CSU WWW has expanded it's horizons into the vast world of the OTHER WWW - World Wide Web.

After a brief respite, the board now rests in the hands of the capable second generation of CSU Weather Weenies - long may the WWW board live!
