This is not the HomeworkWx forums. This is AmericanWx. You put it on yourself by talking about school closings in your first hundred posts or so. I'm younger than you & I don't think I've mentioned my own school before. It's just something that you should keep in your private life, unless someones asks about it, or if it's brought up.

WeathermanB Posted March 15, 2018 Share Posted March 15, 2018 It's nice to have young weather enthusiasts on AmericanWx forums. It does take a little while to get used to the forums, though. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

You gotta also realize there are lurkers who come on so they know about future potential weather events, so it isn't like it's just a bunch of weather weenies talking among each other.

CAPE Posted March 15, 2018 Share Posted March 15, 2018 Having a few younger weather enthusiasts here is fine. I have no issue with it. Cobalt has improved a lot since his early posts. WeathermanB, you still have some work to do. The NE forum debacle should signal your low point. Try harder. Put more thought into your posts. And remember, you dont have to post. Sometimes I start to make a post, then I think better of it if I dont feel it really adds much to the discussion. Show some restraint. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

What matters is that you learn from your inevitable mistakes. As @C.A.P.E. will attest, we're an old and salty bunch. We'll help you get better by carrot or stick I think it especially helps that this year was a sucky one. If every event came easy I don't think I would have adjusted better.

Probably the ones who lurk and just read and learn for a while end up being the most polished early on.

SnowLover22 Posted March 15, 2018 Share Posted March 15, 2018 Yeah I’m fairly young too (17). When I first started posting here I was called out often. I was 15 at the time. But I would like to think I have improved since then. Sometimes it really does help to read more and post less. At first I took it as an insult when someone told me that but I realized when you don’t have much to add to the discussion, you really should be reading more and learning. I learned a lot about weather from reading some of the posts here. And I’d think eventually once I become more knowledgeable I will be able to add more to the discussion in the future and be able to post more..

I think we all add to the forum in different ways...I know enough to make me dangerous but I’m still confused AF interpreting some of our setups so I know when to let the pros post and explain things. This place would be pretty boring if the same 10 people posted in every thread on here so I welcome and enjoy when we have either new people or others who don’t post much adding to the discussion in meaningful ways — whether thats in the model discussion, banter, observations, etc. This place can be a little too uptight at times Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

87storms Posted March 16, 2018 Share Posted March 16, 2018 the key to forums is learning the balance between not walking on eggshells (aka not needing to be liked by everyone) and being an arse (aka aiming to be disliked by everyone)...sprinkled with some thought. or something like that.

gymengineer Posted March 16, 2018 Share Posted March 16, 2018 Teenagers posting here are fine. I think they just need to remember that stepping into a room full of adults in real life would mean they are probably not going to spout off whatever they’re thinking, uninvited. Just because this is an online “room” doesn’t change the fact that it’s a few teenagers amongst adults. The most successful teenage poster right now- Cobalt- has figured out how to mimic the way that other prolific but more helpful posters here post. Cobalt’s like an eager intern doing solid research and about to be extended a full-time job. Another poster around the same age is treating the board like just another social media platform.

T. August Posted March 16, 2018 Share Posted March 16, 2018 I’m one of the youngest here, 20. I wasn’t a good poster, and still haven’t improved. Honestly just sort of shi t all around. I care more about making people laugh than to actually add to the discussion. at least I’m aware of it, though? Idk I try and tell myself that at least.
