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.

Nice Capture, we get those a lot in California when the Marine layer rolls in.

Thank you for sharing this beauty. Lived in the Monadnock region for awhile and once in the mid 1980's watched a wall cloud and funnel develop in the valley below. Ham radio operators reported wind damage in the vicinity of the funnel. It was quite an experience looking down on a funnel towards the distance.

Thanks Chris. Wasn't really sure what caused this particular light effect. Wouldn't have bothered posting but since it's so isolated and uniformed from cloud base to ground, figured someone might have something similar on file.

Not nearly as distinct, but here was one during a 2002 chase. Much better on video, and I'm sure I could have made more contrast in photoshop, but didn't. I think the official term is corpuscular ray.

Thanks for the spelling correction. Didn't get picked up in the spell check for whatever reason.

Nice capture guys. Here is one going up toward the sky instead of toward the earth. Taken in KS last year.

Here are my crepuscular rays. I love this one. Took this pic shortly after a storm. Taken June 5th, 2006
