I know there is quite a lot of stickies already, But i just thought i would throw it out there.

We're currently looking into ways to keep the chit-chat and scientific discussion more separate, but I think that having a general chit chat thread would make things a bit messy. We will probably end up with a system of having two threads for events, one for technical discussion and one which is more chat orientated. We would be more lax in letting things go off topic in the chat thread but it should still be mostly weather related chat really, after all there is the rest of boards for the discussion of topics not related to weather!
Going to lock this one up, if anyone has any ideas for the forum please do let us know but it's best to contact a moderator by pm rather than starting up a new thread
