STORM2K

Why in the Talkin' Tropics a new thread is being created every time a storm changes category?

Apparently that's because since we now have subforums it's not so cluttered to do so

They're saying they want people to be able to get the most recent info immediately. But this method is troublesome if you get a storm like Ophelia (05) or Kristy (06) that changes intensity very often.

I liked the old system that when Invest 90 changed to Depression, the thread name would change from Invest 90 to Depression, and then to storm, and then to hurricane/typhoon. Now there is not a continuation of the storm, it's like its being severed. I understand that for the server a long thread is bad, but still you can get to a point in which to decided to start a new thread, but not every time the storm changes category. I would like to hear a response from the moderators.

If we really have to have multiple threads for these basins can someone/a mod at least post the link to the new one at the end of each of them? Otherwise if you are looking back at a later date you'll end up having a load of small threads to look through to find the order for the same system.

I agree with pretty much everyone's opinions in this thread. I like the other way much more then the current way.
