Let's all calm down here. Austin, the Local Across the 48s is sadly for just one local forecast on a certain day to get the benefit of comparing everyone at the same time, and those videos are posted in a special thread where Martin can upload them to the main site. If it makes you feel better, I missed out on the first two chances while I've been here and only was able to get it on my third try. The members are just confused over why you recorded the whole hour as they've been doing these events for a while. So, even though your videos may not count for this particular event, there's nothing wrong with your contributions to the site for other purposes.
Austin, I thank you for your attempt! You even said it was a mechanical problem that caused the issue, so it wasn't your fault. Simply try again the next time we have one, but don't let that make you feel everyone is upset at you. To the other members and admins, please don't escalate this issue any further. I feel enough has been said for everyone to simply move on without any further consequences, and there's no need for people to be upset over this matter.
