Bill,
Perhaps you should have read the last 6 pages or so, of why there was an issue. The problem is now resolved on Stormtrack.
In response to us creating another forum:
Why not? There should always be more than one opportunity out there to go to. (And stormchasers.org is not the only one) Would you like just having the option of going to Wallie World ? Just like your membership to WX-CHASE, (and I see you there QUITE frequently and recently) it's an outlet. There's room for two or three or 20, and like Laura said, there is no competition between the any of these. If you don't like any of the boards, then simply don't sign up or go over there. Pretty simple stuff we're dealing with here.
I also visit both forums (as well as others), and enjoy reading what others (most) have to say about certain topics. You can't please everyone, so you must do what you think is best for the forum and it's contributors. Again, simply said. I am still learning to use this board compared to phpbb, so it will take some time, but overall I like the format.
Dick
