MDstorm Posted February 15, 2013 Share Posted February 15, 2013 All I'll say is that when the first legit, real threat is close to occuring it might be less easy to keep a thread on point if a pattern has been established. Most of us will likely be senile by that point and the frequent napping should cut the garbage posts down quite a bit. MDstorm Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bob Chill Posted February 15, 2013 Author Share Posted February 15, 2013 for someone who adds alot like you do i let the banter slide some, but its the ones that all they do is post garbage, no not you yeoman Did you just ask me out? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ian Posted February 15, 2013 Share Posted February 15, 2013 Ellinwood is a good storm forecaster. I won't touch the rest. If I was him I might not want to post here in winter either. I usually dread it as the weenies start trickling in around Nov, but I generally just deal. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ravensrule Posted February 15, 2013 Share Posted February 15, 2013 i dont think Wes/HM/Coastal/Will/Qvector, plus all the local mets etc would post here is this was a terrible forum...there is camaraderie here...we are all in it together...we may commiserate too much, but after one of the worst winters of all time, the IAD-BWI-DCA triangle generally has 2-6"....given that we are all pretty well behaved...we are snow weenies and we are in a severe drought...why would anyone expect all the posts to be consistently academic and high brow?...we have some of the most talented posters and winter experts posting here...Why would anyone care that Ellinwood doesn't like it? Aside from when you are irrational, you are one of the best posters and contributors on the board, Mark is a good guy but he has always had that attitude that does not lend itself well to a message board with more than 10 people involved. All we need is a widespread 6" around here and this will be a lot happier place to be. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Grothar of Herndon Posted February 15, 2013 Share Posted February 15, 2013 Ellinwood is a good storm forecaster. I won't touch the rest. If I was him I might not want to post here in winter either. I usually dread it as the weenies start trickling in around Nov, but I generally just deal. The majority of weenies like myself are well behaved and also support the board. I don't get why people dread to see us show up. There are really just a few bad apples in the bunch and the mods can take care of them. Maybe we should go back to Gary Gray's weather email updates?

aldie 22 Posted February 15, 2013 Share Posted February 15, 2013 When we have a legit threat the threads are humming along....there are plenty of weenie posts and goober wish casts but its just clicking...our threads are so slow now that you end up reading a lot of those bozo posts so maybe now they stand out more. Who knows...who cares...it's just a weather board and I know my knowledge of weather today is way beyond what it was when I first joined. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

You can't handle the ensembles. When the op shows snow every single ensemble shows more. It's like opening a box of chocolates and 15 bigger boxes of chocolates fall out.

Avdave Posted February 15, 2013 Share Posted February 15, 2013 If people dont like it here or like the way things are done why are they still posting here? They like to stir up drama? They cant leave here? I dont get it. If you dont like something you buy at a store, do you keep going back and buying it? Jesus Christ. Its not that difficult to leave a message board if you dont like the way it is run. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Bob Chill Posted February 15, 2013 Author Share Posted February 15, 2013 i might have to ban youThat could potentially be the most helpful thing you've ever done for me.Edit: this post is a dig at my own problems of spending so much time on a mostly fruitless hobby. Not saying you haven't helped quite a bit with my understanding of winter weather because you have. And no, I'm not asking you out. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

vinylfreak89 Posted February 15, 2013 Share Posted February 15, 2013 I think this subforum is a lot better than when it first started... part of the reason I started posting again.... frankly I was tired of being bashed for making analysis when a lot of bull**** was allowed at the same time... then again... I am 23 now an I have matured quite a bit so that could be a factor as well.... simple fact is I don't have as much time as I used to, and life takes more of it. Only during a real threat of any sort do I even read the board any more. This subforum is still way too cliquish IMO but there's nothing thats going to change that so I just don't let it bother me any more. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MN Transplant Posted February 15, 2013 Share Posted February 15, 2013 IMO, the forum is doing fine. We are almost all snow weenies, and want to discuss the models and meteorology behind our passion. I find it pretty easy to filter out who has new and interesting information and who is just throwing crap out there. Besides, compared to the rest of the internet, this place is like the pinnacle of humanity. I mean, good lord, have you ever read the comments section on Yahoo news stories or most newspapers?
