+1 for a photography section. If anything, it would declutter B&G and the equipment forums by pulling out those photography related threads.

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.
But hey if everyone wants a "universal" forum they might as well make a sports section, a hunting section, a vacation section, a shopping section, a entertainment section, a business section, a environmental section or anything else someone might have an interest in; they could even change the name from StormTrack to HobbyTrack.
I really don't think a branch off from equipment, for discussing cameras would really be all that bad, however the initial intentions of this discussion seemed to be aimed at "open" photography topics and threads, not limited to storm related stuff. If you want to see and critique or have critiqued, pictures of butterflies or anything else, find a photography forum, though I would go for a section with modeling photos....

Your argument makes no sense, unlike all these other things you posted photography is actually chase related. We already have numerous threads that are photography related. They could all be moved into one section that you could easily avoid since you obviously don't like the idea though it already exists.
If people want this to just stay a storm chaser website (mostly for storm chasers or people who want to chase in the future) then we should probibly not bother adding any more forums or sub forums etc. If we did add more stuff that is less storm chaser orientated and more weather enthusiast orientated we would probibly bring alot more members to the site. That would probibly bring more weather enthusiats then storm chasers to stormtrack though.
IMO you want to see posted photos or post photos yourself, join a photography forum. Why clutter the forum with more stuff not chase related?
There are many sites out there for photography.

Dustin -you seem vehemently against this idea, and I understand why you are concerned. If not executed properly, such a section could potentially open the door for less and less chase related sections, thereby diluting the quality and the focus of Stormtrack.
LOL not really, honestly it really doesn't matter all that much to me, three things just happened to come together to make it seem like I REALLY care; First thing, I just straight up enjoy debating, secondly I first saw the poll/thread late Friday night after a few libations, making me even more up for a debate, and thirdly the initial posts attempting to petition for the idea, really lacked a good credible reason, despite the fact there may be a few.
