• 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 will be ending management of the Jeff Wear Memorial Fund this week. This is for three reasons: donations have dried up ($454 additional; most of it during the last week of July), Katrina charities have risen into prominence, and because I don't trust Paypal or web security and prefer not to have an idle account in my name. Stormtrack members and visitors have until Wednesday for any last minute contributions to his family.

Donate via Paypal

I have let Marilyn (Jeff's mom) know that we would be happy to continue supporting the fund via our forum links if she wishes to set up a Paypal account; I'm waiting to hear back. If that happens then it would just be a change of hands.

On another note I would like to thank Jerry Barnes, Cynthia Rose, BNVN/Doug Kiesling, Walt Gish, and Robert Schafer for the latest donations (all of them in late July except for Jerry Barnes). The BNVN/Kiesling and Walt Gish donations were particularly generous.

OK, that would explain why I haven't heard anything yet. I'll probably keep it open for another week, then.
