This pretty much sums it up for me.

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.
You know you're a storm chaser when...

....when someone says the weather is great (meaning sunny and dry) and you mutter (a little too loudly)..."not for everyone" in a slightly angry voice.
When during a Hurricane Hunter's debriefing, they go into their routine of explaining that during the flight, they might say things like "this is a good storm" or "that was a good bump" as a caution to some that it's opposite of what they might think "good" is...but you respond by saying "Nope, you guys are talking my kind of language".

You know your a Storm Chaser when:
1. When your kid's think your chase partner is a long lost uncle.
2. When you have problems with high blood preasure from late June to Feb. ,
but the rest of the year you are a ok.
3. When the local Skywarn group has your picture up as public enemy no 1.

You know you're a storm chaser when right about now you're not thinking, "Dang! Only four months till Christmas." You're thinking, "Nutz! Seven months till chase season."

Oh...that is so true isn't it. Spot on J...spot on!!!

When you have had to retake a course due to chasing the day/night before and pulling into town just hours before the (Calc II) final.

Too funny!! And we wonder why people think we're strange??
How about:
....people call YOU with a storm report, instead of NWS.
....you answer the cell phone and the first thing they ask is "Where are you?"
....your grandson thinks "The Weather Service" is you.
....you have your local NWS office on speed dial.
....the local NWS office has YOU on speed dial.
....you see the letters "TWA" and assume it's a misprint.
....you've never found a penny on the ground.

Yup...that's so true. I think (if he put it in) Tim V. put a little story of one of the time NWS called me in the 2nd Edition of the Chaser Handbook.

You know when you are an OLD storm chaser when you've rescheduled that colonoscopy a second time because the day 3 is showing a slight risk for butt check day.

You laugh when your dentist wants you to make an appointment in May or June.

When you have jury duty and a traffic court date on the same Monday cause you rescheduled you May 14 jury duty and got a stop sign ticket on an August 1 storm chase.
