This forum is dead!

Not to open up old wounds, but man this place is quiet with two threats on the horizon.  I know that quantity does not equal quality, but I suggest (another) reconsideration of reuniting with the NY Metro forum.  Let the flame throwing begin! 

 

I disagree.  Our 'storm' a couple weeks ago proves that there is a big difference between here and there.  I would rather it be quiet here than read about info that is not necessarily pertinent to my area.

Checked the latest Euro snowfall loop on Wunder for the next two events and it showed zip. Give us something to sink our teeth into and we'll do all right. I like the posters here and there isn't the BS over at Metro.

Ok since I'm the devils advocate in this discussion your comment definitely reenforces my view that the while it is a semi-public forum that some people may have an alternate point of view. OK off soapbox.

throwing around words like "censorship" is silly...this is a private board...it's not a democracy...dumb threads get deleted all the time, at the sole discretion of whatever mod happens to be reading them at the time...and, let's be clear: this is a dumb thread...it's been discussed ad nauseam...

They overanalyze everything in the nyc threads and do too much wishcasting with amounts. I read it alot but I come here for the reality check on storms

this. quality over quantity. not that there's much quality here but i'd rather it be dead than have to read through 10 pages of wishcasting 18:1 ratios 4 days out from a storm. no thank you.

Problem is, seems only the NYC (and NE) forums are good for getting decent model PBP these days. If you guys have anyone who has access to good model PBP, I'd recommend putting someone up. Sucks having to constantly jump over there to read especially with that stuff and arguments over 5 1/2 day progs of the GFS abound.

I mean it may not be the most active forum but we've got a close-knit group here, everyone gets along for the most part, and there isn't hostility like in the nyc thread. I get what I need from here, I don't need a pbp of every model run from some amateur that's most likely reading it wrong anyway. Then again I have access to the models and can read them without someone telling me what it says. So if a model PBP is the issue here, I don't mind doing it but I just think it is a waste of time and energy and adds so much needless banter.

There certainly is no harm in threads within forums, like the Long Island thread in NYC metro. Those LI guys wanted/want their forum too. I like both forums, but can't deny reality, this forum is just not active enough to justify a separate existence.  I find it MUCH easier to just skip over the nonsense posts than to keep jumping between forums.

I mean, people get access in advance, there's 3-hour panels of some models (none bigger than the EURO, where you can only get 12hr at best on free sites), a lot deeper info that can be accessed. It is nice to have some good PBP is all I'm saying - it's the one thing I do miss.

yeah i have weatherbell too, if a PBP is wanted than a PBP will be gived. I won't post maps but i can do descriptions...again this is only if it's wanted.

No, kthnx. You can gladly go read that train wreck if you want. I'd much rather read a few posts an hour, then constant implosions like are going on in other regions.
