Never seen so much hype.....

[Anonymous]

...on this forum, in all the times I have visited.

From the absurd, to the hilarious.

All the posts about; Breaking developments, to ding ding, to look at this, to blah blah. It's incredible!

The bottom line is.

THERE IS NOT A SINGLE PERSON ON THIS BOARD, THAT WOULD BET THEIR LIFE, ABOUT A PROJECTED PATH/LANDFALL, EVEN INSIDE OF 72 HRS. NO ONE KNOWS AT THIS TIME AND I WOULD BET, THAT THEY COULDN'T PREDICT AN AREA OF LANDFALL, IF THERE WAS EVEN GOING TO BE ONE, WITHIN 200 MILES AT THIS POINT.

So...why doesn't everyone, and you know who you are, just take a step back and look at the unnecessary hype you generate with such MESSAGE HEADERS. When the storm gets within a projected landfall time frame, THEN and ONLY then, would it be NEWS!

No need for the hyped message headers.

I happen to like them. We are here to discuss the storms. And I don't think it is all that hyped at all.

I agree way too much hype for something that could fall apart (it has happened before) before even coming close to the US coastline.

the board is for everyone...hype or not....when need all types....except TROLLS of course!

I think there is a difference between discussing interesting possibilities based upon data and -removed- and presenting it as probable occurence.

It is a freakin' cat 4... with major implications on all sensible weather for the next week. This is a TROPICAL forum filled with people who discuss the tropics. We have every right to be concerned, especially those in Florida and the Carolinas as well as the islands who may have to deal with this monster.

ditto. I answered to the same type of question on another thread.

Or if you have issues with what they are doing, take it up with a mod. or admin. They would be more than happy to listen to your concern. They listen to mine all the time.

[charleston_hugo_veteran]

yes...mods and admin....are great!!

So what's the problem? You're spewing drivel! Everyone jump out of the way!!

rararar I'm going to TYPE IN ALL CAPS BECAUSE I THINK I AM THE NHC.

Here! Here!

I'm not going to tell anyone what they should or shouldn't post. I do have a modest request, though: COMPLETE SUBJECT LINES!

These are the worst:
"What's happening?"
"Oh no!"
"The 12z run shows"
"What?"
or my favorite:
"I have a question"

IMHO, subject lines are like headlines. The catchier they are... the more people read them. Like it or not...

I don't have any issues with people saying where tropical systems are going. And some of them I do ignore, but their is a difference between outragous and some dialouge. And I know what your going to say, free speech and opinion. I hope the board is not becoming a numbers board to see how many opinions we can get to set a record. Let us be a little responsible and not go on goose chases. This only promotes hysterial and panic. I believe the chat rm will be better place for it.

If you want a goosechase... force me to pinpoint where Frances will be in 5 days.

Sure there is hype. Just this morning on the radio here in New Orleans emergency managers will be meeting early tomorrow to discuss evacuations. These are the same people that predict New Orlans and its surounding areas will be un-inhabital for 10 months after a cat 4 or 5 direct hit us.... now thats hype.

I personally love the discussions and to see what others think.
