That is for sure. That office does have some of the better (best perhaps) enhanced web pages.

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 went away from ST for the last week or so after posting my last comment. I'm kind of surprised that my suggestion to "be proactive" was immediately followed (and even quoted!) by continued ranting about how the WFOs don't ask for volunteers, etc. E., g.:

Huh? Of course, any WFO would be more than happy to accept volunteers. Where did you get this notion?
I will only say it one more time - "be proactive". You will be pleasantly surprised.
It is a very good idea, but it has me wondering. Paralleling the need for WFOs to put warning services ahead of damage survey services for a multi-day event, how many chasers would be willing to give up a day's chase to help a WFO survey an event during a multi-day severe weather episode. Quoting from a completely unrelated thread....
[Hopefully, ST members see this as somewhat tongue in cheek.]
Actually, I have done this and got lucky. I surveyed the northern supercell (near Red Rock OK) on 8 May 2003, even though there was a risk of severe weather warranting chasing on 9 May 2003, the day we were surveying. We completed our survey, and then returned back to OUN via Binger, and following the late evening tornadic storm back into OKC (but broke off at dark). Our decision to conduct the survey was made knowing the risk we could miss chasing an event later that day, and we got lucky because the one storm was "in our path" back home and occured late.

Are surveys supposed to be performed on the mets own time, or are they 'on the clock'? In other words, are they being paid while performing surveys, or are surveys performed solely on a person's "off-time"?

I'm not sure what this has to do with my remarks, but from what I understand, the WFO mets are on the clock when they perform surveys, and sometimes must be on overtime (which strains an office budget, BTW).
