Chicago WX Posted November 18, 2010 Share Posted November 18, 2010 This reminds me of something I'd like to see but doubt that it would work or be accepted. It would be nice to have an off topic thread for those of us who post in the central/western section. Since I'm not a regular, I don't post in the off topic forum and I'm not sure how many of us peruse that forum. I only briefly glance through it. I know in the past when I attempted to post there, I was either ignored or flamed since I wasn't a part of the "group." Anyway, just an idea. Thoughts? It's probably wise to just avoid OT all together. But it is cliquey. I tend to stick to the sports forum where everyone tends to be cool. As for a central/western OT thread....eh, it probably won't fly in here I'm guessing...but good idea. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I know in the past when I attempted to post there, I was either ignored or flamed since I wasn't a part of the "group." Anyway, just an idea. Thoughts? You might want to ask the SNE'ers about the whole OT threads on the weather side thing. I do think OT can become a little cliquish at times (at least it did at Eastern), but I'm not sure about having a dedicated OT thread in the weather forum. It's understandable that folks want to stray OT a bit...in many cases we have known each other for quite a long time. There has/will be been a little more allowance for that in the monthly threads in this subforum as long as it doesn't get out of control. This is a new board, and while most people migrated over from Eastern, I would suggest you give the OT forum here a try. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Hoosier Posted November 18, 2010 Author Share Posted November 18, 2010 I'm not sure what Marcus is going to do but it appears as though he is considering reopening Eastern. Obviously I won't be there, but you guys are free to post wherever you want. I don't want some kind of board war. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

This is a new board, and while most people migrated over from Eastern, I would suggest you give the OT forum here a try. Oh, I understand completely. I was just thinking out loud. I know that it might be asking for trouble. I never strayed much from our side of the forum, so I'm not sure what happened to the SNE'ers. The monthly threads are a good place to stray off topic a little, especially if the moderator is lenient . I enjoy reading about how BowMe is freezing his 'nads off while hunting bambi and the such.

cyclone77 Posted November 19, 2010 Share Posted November 19, 2010 I don't know about you guys but I'm not digging this new forum skin. Runs very choppy with my Firefox browser.

weatherdavewi Posted November 21, 2010 Share Posted November 21, 2010 Welcome! How long have you been in Gaylord? Been here for nearly 4 years now, and have loved every minute of it (though the past 2 years have been painfully boring weather-wise up this way). Definitely one of the hardest places to forecast that I have been, but always a good time. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
