We made a change, model talk is ok on the main page, and general path, but start picking landfall points 5 days out or if you don't really have a lot of facts, but "My cat is acting funny so it'll probably go here", or I know it's 7 days out but I think it'll hit Miami. That's better for the lounge.

Why? Because people tend to believe what's on the main thread, right or wrong, and I usually hear about it, sometimes from panicked individuals. Which is entirely against the no hype item on the front page. Misinformation or hype is worse than nothing at all. Still I'd rather respond to misinformation and explain why than just delete it -- which I absolutely dislike to do. (and I terribly dislike editing anyone else's posts for most any reason). But I give the people that help out with the site some freedom to do it.

The other thing is this site encourages sharing of information, links to other sites and places are encouraged, which is different than other places. We aren't the end all be all and have no intention of trying to be the "sole source of hurricane information." Because that is silly. We hope to be one of many sources you check, which I hope includes the National Hurricane Center (Well before us even).
