Isopycnic Posted December 13, 2013 Share Posted December 13, 2013 Too many damn forums to read.That's kinda stupid. NW GA, East TN and NC mountains all kind of share the same weather as the SE forum. Is Asheville in this forum or the TN forum? I can see where a Mississippi Valley forum would be needed but a TN Valley? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
buckeyefan1 Posted December 13, 2013 Share Posted December 13, 2013 So is this just a NC/SC forum? Maybe splitting us up will bring someone good luck. No. The only thing that has changed is to move the TN Valley, that being lower Ky,TN,upper MS/AL. IMO GA(nw or otherwise) is here. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Isopycnic Posted December 13, 2013 Share Posted December 13, 2013 Our subforum is centered around NW GA/SW NC/ upper SC. This really guts this forum. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

SnowNiner Posted December 13, 2013 Share Posted December 13, 2013 No makes sense, completely different regions. We envy them with cutters and they envy us in CAD events. I guess... Still think it's all the SE. You could probably make 10 more subforms based on climalogical and meteorological demarcation (sp?) zones. Can't say I understand the change.

tnweathernut Posted December 13, 2013 Share Posted December 13, 2013 Most of the TN guys (myself included) lobbied for the TN Valley subforum . The southeast forum is often dominated by Carolina posters/discussion and there are very few posters back west into other parts of the TN Valley. Other weather boards have been created by people in those areas to compensate IMO. My two cents says this is a good decision to accomplish board growth and is a natural split as conditions can be quite different on the west side of the apps vs the east side. Most people don't realize how diverse the TN valley is when it comes to weather and/or size. I have said this many times before, but I can get to Canada quicker than I can get from Johnson City, TN to Memphis TN. I will still visit and post in other subforums (as I already do), but it's going to be nice to not have to weed through CAD discussions and other things that don't really apply to our area on the west side of the mountain if I am being honest.

Yeah, I can see why there could be more subforums for different states in the SE based on the differences in climate. But the only thing is I think it could make traffic go down. I don't know. Maybe it is better for folks who only care about their state. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DaculaWeather Posted December 13, 2013 Share Posted December 13, 2013 Conditions are very different in Georgia and Alabama too. Conditions are conditions, they vary considerably between locations. TN is upstream from me so I do care what goes on, and it play a big part in what my weather is going to do. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DaculaWeather Posted December 13, 2013 Share Posted December 13, 2013 You think the central and western regions need more forums, the conditions are VERY different across that vast expanse of area??? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
superjames1992 Posted December 13, 2013 Share Posted December 13, 2013 Congratulations to most of us.

FallsLake Posted December 13, 2013 Share Posted December 13, 2013 I totally understand and agree with the split. A majority of the discussions on these boards are focused on winter storms and the potential of winter storms. What happens, or needs to happen, west or east of the mountains is usually very different. I would say it would be more logical to have Raleigh in the same forum with DC than Nashville; heck even Knoxville. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

MichaelJ Posted December 13, 2013 Share Posted December 13, 2013 Just gives JB and most other national forecasters another area to ignore in their discussions. We always here about the huge population center which is the NE, but there are over 70,000,000 living in the SE region which is 1/3 of the national total Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

GaWx Posted December 13, 2013 Share Posted December 13, 2013 Would it make sense to consider having TN Valley topics and non-TN Valley topics but both still within the SE forum? Any opinions on this? Actually, the SE forum has had Florida topics since the start I think and that seemed to work ok. Look at how the CentralWest forum splits topics up between subregions and it is a much bigger area with bigger wx differences. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bevo Posted December 13, 2013 Share Posted December 13, 2013 Would make more sense in making a FL/Gulf coast subforum Agreed. Add South GA in there too. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DaculaWeather Posted December 13, 2013 Share Posted December 13, 2013 No one cares to hear my opinion anyway... You could split this country up into a thousand different unique areas and create a new forum for each one. But all you're doing is diluting the content and discussions. Sometimes I get tired of hearing how the mountains are doing but so what? I still want to see and hear the big picture, and I think I have enough knowledge to pick and choose the post that are pertinent for me and my area, and if you can't, you probably don't need to be up here anyway.

If you do leave, I'm going to miss your posts, tnweathernut. Stovepipe, Mr. Bob, John,... you will all be missed if/when you fly the coop. I like reading TN Valley threads in this forum, but I fear I will rarely venture over to another sub-forum. (It's a first-world problem that requires me to have to click on another link, and I know that there is help out there for those like me, but I have yet to seek it out. ) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If you have very few posters for TN before, you're going to have even less now. I respect you Dacula, but that statement makes zero sense. Part of the reason TN people don't post more often here is that when they do it's drowned out by 100s of other (mostly NC) posts. That's not a slam against NC people, it's just reality. Someone from west TN that is looking for information about an ice storm about to hit their area has to dig through pages and pages of CAD talk just to find a mention of their situation. Other forums have been founded as a result of this very problem here at AmericanWX. I know these things because I've been having conversations with people about this for years. The TN Valley sub-forum will grow and prosper, book it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DaculaWeather Posted December 13, 2013 Share Posted December 13, 2013 West TN needs to be on a different forum, just like MS. Trust me, I've lived in Paris TN, Nashville, and Knoxville, I understand TN weather as well as anyone. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
