• 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.

There appears to be some sort of a new VIP area on the main board from what some are saying. I certainly don't see any access to such a board when I log in.

Question - what gains an individual the right to have access and read the VIP area? How were those of us whe don't have access to the VIP area denied that right? Is the a democratic way to run a message board, or de facto segregation amongst the chasing community?

This stinks of more elitism on Stormtrack's part.
 
Jesse, can you please name those who talked to you about it so they can be thrown out of this "imaginary" VIP board you speak of? Feel free to PM me with the names and due process will handle the rest.
 
The VIP forum is based on your lifetime tornado count and/or how many big words you use to describe your chase accounts (the more descriptive, the better). Sorry, Jesse...maybe after a successful 2009, these elitist a-holes will let you in.
 
Hate to rain on the parade, but as far as I know, there has never been any VIP forum. At least I didn't see any when I logged in today. Whoever told you that, is likely spreading misinformation, and I'd recommend to report this/those person(s) to the leaders as they are probably trying to destabilize this forum with baseless rumors.

Exactly....... There.....is.....no.....such.....thing........ Well played sir!

Hey I know Dennis Sherrod, does that get me a life time membership or expelled?:D

edit: nevermind, I see I'm already a member, thanks Dennis;)

Tornado count: ZERO
Bust: 1
 
I hear theres also a hazing ritual in which you must eat 10 gas station breakfast burritos in 5 minutes and then not go to the bathroom for 24hrs.

Those elites sure are HxC

I don't even think the legendary David Drummond could pull off such a feat!
