Too much time required to write all the stories and keep up on it, plus I was starting to see signups from spammers (yandex.ru, etc). If I get time I will update it with storm news this spring.

I liked the blog idea, but was unable to comment (even though I was signed in) and when I attempted to log-in to the Wordpress log-in with my Stormtrack log-in, I was told that I wasn't using the correct username/password. In my case, that may have been due to the SPACE character in my username (which is normally a no-no).

Anyway, spam is easily prevented by some of the Captcha options out there: Wordpress Spam Tools.

I personally like the old look so ok with me. I think it is agood mesh of new and old so I'm happy with the forum look.

It's interesting to see what we looked like back in 1999:

AAAAAAAAAWWWWWWWW Run for yur lives!!!!! Its a blast from the past

I really like what you've done to the forum recently. It does look A LOT more like the forum pre March 15 2006 or whenever it was the forum went to outer space. But im sure I had a lot to do with that. But im certainly happy. :lol:

The strange thing is how back in the 1990s we went without a forum. I think our high point of those years was 1997-98, then we went into a slight decline due to lack of time & a proliferation of other storm sites. It wasn't until the 2001-2003 period when the forum started overtaking the site.

I should find our old Stormtrack Yahoo group messages from the pre-2003 years and post them somewhere for archival purposes. I'm not even sure if it's still online or not.

I know at least part of them are, because I've seen them. There's some search site that pulled them up, though most of the links provided were dead. I think the actual messages I saw were from the Sept-Oct 2001 era.

I just logged into my YahooGroups account for the first time in probably 2 years... Lo and behold, all the old ST messages after 2/18/02 are still there. I don't know if it automatically deletes messages older than some number of months, or if that's just when YahooGroups changed formats.

lol - I don't think so ... I check it every now and then and there are new members added, and new messages are generated every now and then. I'm still a mod in there (albeit not a very active one after three years). It cracks me up every time I go in there and see new stuff being added -
