• 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.

Storms of 2xxx DVD - Donation Summary

I am very impressed with those numbers as many have already posted.

I would like to thank everyone who has donated video or personal time to this dvd series as it is such an awesome project that not only shows the breathtaking and wildly unique storms that we chase, but also our attention and desire to assist those directly affected by these events.

I see alot of room to expand the project as far as where it is sold and how it is advertised in hopes of making it even more successful in years to come.

Congratulations and KUDOS to those involved, you have made the chasing community proud and I am honored to have donated some video to this years production.

Thankyou for all the hardwork and a special thanks to Tony Lyza for continuing this project into 2008!!

-Terrence

I'm going to toot our horn one more time before we see the release of the Storms of 2008 DVD.

Additional sales of So2xxx DVDs through tornadovideos.net netted us some more funds (a little over $200), and TVN made up the difference with a donation, for an additional donation to Greensburg Greentown of $331.31. This placed us at the $10,000 donation mark for that charity. See the mention here:

Total donations to date from the DVD sales: $33,101.90
