• 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.

Chicago Tribune article about faked videos

Geez, they're still perpetuating the notion that this was ripped-off video from somebody else and that "power lines were added" etc. You would think they would try to keep up with newer developments..

At least they showed a side-by-side shot with Dan's altered video; the result is pretty damning.
 
I have to admit, I'm surprised this has gotten as much attention outside_the_chaser_world as it has. My impression of the Tribune article was, it really took off from the subject of the faked tornado story and went in a completely different direction. By the time I got to the end, I'd already forgotten about Andy. The other examples cited were camera tricks made from completely unreal happenings to fool the viewer into thinking they're real. What the chaser did was simply "nerd up" an existing, real piece of footage to pass it off as simply another time/place.
