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.

I can't even come close to matching these photos, mostly because I've been chasing with a lousy point-and-shoot all season. Still, managed to get a few bolts by sheer chance!

Shot from my driveway. Not technically the best pic, but the bolt certainly caught my attention:

Two of these won ribbons at the Pinal County Fair here in Arizona this year. Looks like I would have had some very serious competition if some of you other folks would have entered. There are some fantastic photos in this thread and I'm glad that people are sharing their love of the hobby.

While everyone else was in NE on June 17, 2009 for the Aurora day. Atleast I got something that day. This was just off I-27 near Tulia, TX and is an 8 second exposure.

Don't blame the camera!
With a tripod and long-ish exposure (try aperture priority at F6.7 or so), you can take decent lightning pics.

I can too blame the camera! I've been shooting with a Nikon Coolpix L16. It is a basic point and shoot, without a lot of bells and whistles. It automatically adjusts the shutter time in low light, but only to a maximum of 1 second. It also attempts to auto-set the f-number. Pretty much just does whatever it wants.
I did set it on a tripod (gorillapod to be exact) recently near St Francis, KS. I still needed to take shots almost constantly to get anything, but a few of them turned out pretty neat.

My best shot of 2010 (so far):
This was a screen grab from a 30 fps HD camcorder (Canon HG-10) on 6/24 in Northeast MD.
