Unrelated, I found some non-CD forums which have the same layout as CD forums, with the same or similar emoji's and everything, but are completely separate entities. Makes me wonder, who is behind all of these?

It's a standard forum software called VBulletin which is used by many other sites.

YES! I saw many of these! I don't know why is that, maybe the society who permits these forums is always the same, but the ones who create those specific forums are different people who ask that society?

Also the crime rate is really terrible, with everything from violence to rape to heroin abuse. If I were you, I'd only try it if I had the opportunity to move back to Miami at any given time.

Honestly I'd much rather live in cities like Minneapolis or Fargo, despite not being as good as Fairbanks climatologically. Fargo in particular is exploding in population right now, and pretty soon I think it'll be a nice lively city. Even smaller places like Duluth or Grand Forks seem nice. Don't know if you have considered those places? I'm assuming the COL isn't too bad except maybe in Minneapolis.

Just my 2 cents, I don't mean to put a damper on your hopes 'n dreams or anything like that.

No, that's the company who owns City-Data.

Fascinating, seems like a pretty legit thing. They charge $250 for the cheapest version, I think that's roughly the same order of magnitude for stuff like MATLAB or data processing languages like SPSS. Don't know if making a forum is even comparable though. vBulletin Forum Features

Ok, I thought you were saying an interest in weather would indicate that.

I just want to ask you a question, you are free not to reply.

I suppose you just want to move to Fairbanks just because of cold winters, not because of anything else, since that place is very boring.

The question is: have you ever lived and/or travelled in a place with cold winters, during winter?

Even temperatures that you maybe underestimating because you see them in climate boxes so often, like 5 °F, are extremely cold. You'll have to get used to a whole new reality. Sure it's exciting, because you can say "today is -4 °F" and take a pride in that, even if it feels horrible. The problem is that if you say "Today is 0/-10 °F" very often, when the temperatures start to rise and you say "Today is 10 °F", it will not shock people anymore, but you'll still feel very cold.

I think Fairbanks' winters are a no-no. You can't do virtually anything most of the time. Even winters in Fargo or Grand Forks are extremely cold and very unpleasant. Are you sure you really want that? Do you know how cold it is? I'm just wondering, no offense.

I know of two people who lived in Fairbanks and liked it. And at 0°F, you can bicycle on ice and it's barely slippery.
