H2O Posted December 22, 2022 Share Posted December 22, 2022 Its literally the job of a mod to tell people unfamiliar with how things work to go post in the proper place. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Then again, DC folk stole Deep Creek as our rightful Pittsburgh vacation spot and priced a lot of Pittsburghers out of it so that’s par for the course.

They are acting like they are breaking into their house or something. I mean with mappy's reasoning about Shrewsbury, someone up in Cecil Co... would be in the same boat as someone in southern Chester Co. IDGAF if someone outside of our sub posts in the discussion threads, as long as it is respectful and value adding. Ralph comes to mind. When it comes to obs threads, if I want to know how much snow fell in Altoona PA, I know where to go to find that info. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

We did the subforums because the huge forum was such an unwieldy mess. Sure, there's a case to be made for PHL being Mid Atlantic, but there are plenty of times we get the ol' screw and Philly is getting destroyed. It'll be just as contentious as when we had one big forum. I don't care about pics as long as it's not trolling or rubbing it in. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

We used to have some wild ass fights that put today's battles to shame. I had a very short fuse and fought dirty. Now it's mostly meh and not about drawing blood.

Odds are the person just over the PA line is more covered by LWX than whatever NWS office is just to the N. The mentality of embracing ANYONE out of the area raises problems.

H2O Posted December 22, 2022 Share Posted December 22, 2022 I can deal with the posters from WVa and way out west and hell even the peeps down near Va Tech and Hampton Roads. Shit the people down in RIC and Tidewater are my bros. We share a lot more in common than I do with clowns above the PA line. Even C'ville scores more than me a lot of time. Why? Cause i live in the WORST location for snow. Yes, even worse than Ji. When Norfolk flips to rain I know I will too and I'm fricken 100 miles north of them. We cry when PSU screams fringed because we know deep down the storm will tuck like Silence of the Lambs and I'll go hours of snizzle, sleet or just plain fucking rain. BUT they are my bros cause VA, MD, WVa are tight. I'll fight like hell for them. Even DE too to an extent. Begrudgingly. Might have second thoughts on that one. But anyways. I don't want or need some clown from just outside PHL posting their obs cause well PHL isn't a good city(sports wise). They fucking threw snowballs at Santa. And you want them posting here? Their weather is just different and they have a forum. Post there. I don't post in NYC or NC/SC or OV(shudder) because its called their climate is different. Its up to the posters up in that area to make their forum lively. Let me deal with Ji and not a CARBONDALE type Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
