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.

I can't speak for everyone, but I will definitely miss these blogs as they were full to the brim with excellent links and were a very valuable source for information. Thanks for keeping them up as long as you did though!

Mike, I don't know what reasons you have for losing interest in storm chasing......personal reasons, bad experience, or burnout...whatever. Personally 2002 was so bad for me due to various reasons that I almost quit myself. Just remember, you can always come back, be it a year or 25 years later. You don't have to "be" a "storm chaser". So what if you ignore the weather pattern for half the spring and then go out for a chase one day.....do it. It is probably healthier than the crap that most of us do...pouring over maps every day and comparing the possibilites to our work schedules. The community (and the weather) will be here for you.
And if not.....enjoy your other hobbies. There are many that are more that reward a dose of enjoyment every time versus storm chasing which can often feel like, well......work :-(

I lost interest in storm chasing and other stuff, revolves around my 77 year father
and his financial blunders, and other problems with him. Also for some reason, my
father and sister will not allow me to leave Michigan not even for out-of-state
interviews. Its a long complicated story, where I being gulted in staying. etc.
Bottom line: All I want is to be happy again, have a good paying job, a woman,
and live somewhere in tornado alley.

I too hate to see it go. I used it quite often because it was so complete. You put a lot of research in to that and you should be proud of it.
As for family, yeah, they can do that with the guilt thing. Not knowing any more about it than what you have written here at ST, I can't comment on that aspect of your situation. Remember though, life is short - accomplish what you can.
Don't give up on chasing...
