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.
So success as a chaser is judged based on how much money you get from your video? I don't think you'll get a lot of "thanks" buttons being pressed
Good point. Maybe we should come up with a money system like the PGA tour. Video sales ranking. Could we set up a point system for tornadoes? I think we could say that there is a professional side to storm chasing, why not make it interesting. At the end of the year the winner of the point system gets a nice trophy.

I think we need to start up stormchaser trading cards like baseball. Each chaser has his stats, picture, # of ST posts, etc. with one or two of his best pics on the back. Better yet, maybe start up a new daytime soap opera "As The Meso Churns" based on the stormchaser community. You wouldn't need to write a script...it's all already here in Stormtrack.
