• After witnessing the continued decrease of involvement in the SpotterNetwork staff in serving SN members with troubleshooting issues recently, I have unilaterally decided to terminate the relationship between SpotterNetwork's support and Stormtrack. I have witnessed multiple users unable to receive support weeks after initiating help threads on the forum. I find this lack of response from SpotterNetwork officials disappointing and a failure to hold up their end of the agreement that was made years ago, before I took over management of this site. In my opinion, having Stormtrack users sit and wait for so long to receive help on SpotterNetwork issues on the Stormtrack forums reflects poorly not only on SpotterNetwork, but on Stormtrack and (by association) me as well. Since the issue has not been satisfactorily addressed, I no longer wish for the Stormtrack forum to be associated with SpotterNetwork.

    I apologize to those who continue to have issues with the service and continue to see their issues left unaddressed. Please understand that the connection between ST and SN was put in place long before I had any say over it. But now that I am the "captain of this ship," it is within my right (nay, duty) to make adjustments as I see necessary. Ending this relationship is such an adjustment.

    For those who continue to need help, I recommend navigating a web browswer to SpotterNetwork's About page, and seeking the individuals listed on that page for all further inquiries about SpotterNetwork.

    From this moment forward, the SpotterNetwork sub-forum has been hidden/deleted and there will be no assurance that any SpotterNetwork issues brought up in any of Stormtrack's other sub-forums will be addressed. Do not rely on Stormtrack for help with SpotterNetwork issues.

    Sincerely, Jeff D.

During the last year, I've been increasingly bombarded with emails from Multi-Channel Networks (MCNs) on Youtube wanting me to join. After a cursory investigation on these, I can say this: stay far, far away! Most take a cut of your ad revenue in exchange for virtually nothing, except the mere *chance* at boosting your traffic/ad sales (which they are under no obligation to guarantee). All will take over your Youtube channel and some actually take over your Adsense account as well, and can hold both "hostage". Horror stories and predatory contracts abound in the realm of MCNs (IE, lifetime terms and signing over copyrights). If your channel is doing well, they don't offer you very much, at least from what I've been able to uncover.

There may be a few non-shady MCNs out there, but from everything I have read, the risk of essentially siphoning your ad revenue away for nothing with these is pretty high.

Signer beware.
