Hi

There has been quite a bit of talk about the future of UKSW and the state
it's currently in.

As you know for the last 18 months or so I've been promoting a blog
(http://xmetman.wordpress.com) that I've built, as well as publicise my
Central England Temperature web site
(http://www.centralenglandtemperature.co.uk/). Its not easy on both scores
to interest people in weather and climate when there are so many sites
across the internet trying to do the same thing, but I have been heartened
over the last couple of weeks since starting to post to the Net Weather
forum that finally (after a lot of hard work) my blog is starting to pick up
some interest.

I don't think that anyone of us can fix what's wrong with UKSW, it's a
reflection of all the people who still bother to post to it, many out of
habit.

What I'm currently doing is cross posting topics to both UKSW and the
appropriate forum at Net Weather and seeing what kind of response (if any) I
get.

Its the acid test for me, and I think if you try it I think you'll find it
refreshing and a lot more pleasant.

you should consider (also?) UKweatherworld.co.uk

Good bunch of people on UKWW. Very little if any pettiness and some serious
scientific contributors.
This is not to say there aren't some on other forums but UKWW, in my
opinion, seems the best in this regard.
