We are not the most active region at times, not do to forum members, but do to the WEATHER. 40's and clear for the next couple weeks.
What exactly do people think we should be posting about that is weather related? We can have a bunch of dream threads like NY that never pan out, or we can do what we do...when there is an active threat, the forum comes alive. How is that a bad thing? For banter, there are other parts of this site. For Philly area specific WEATHER, this forum has been a godsend to many people (snow plowing and general work related...and school related if you count that one kid). Many of us browse this forum, and if there is an NYC merger, I guarantee those frequent members that browse are leaving the site for good. There is absolutely ZERO advantage to a merger, but the advantages of a Philly specific forum are countless. We don't have to sort through ridiculous threads, we don't have a million trolls, and we have our own weather. If the Philly specific forum gets boring, you can look at the weather in the NY forum, or any other forum.
