Ive watched your videos with you and your wife doing research together.   Quite frankly with a Discovery camera crew? You guys are every bit as good as any other TV show out there.   And maybe thats the secret to the BFF? It needs a media front to funnel people back to the forum.    And same goes for the WV crew and Lane County crew. Also a shout out to everyone that posts in the Field Trip section.   Looking at pictures and video of beautiful mountains and forests and possibly evidence is always a highlight for me personally.

There are more people than ever who are involved with investigating the topic on a pretty serious level.  Lots of small facebook groups focused on trading ideas on equipment and techniques.  Theories and experiences.     a forum setting would probably be more suited to that type of discussion, although I guess Facebook does have the convenience factor.     Heck, there might be a way to introduce the BFF to some of those folks 

How so?  I am wrong that the Bigfoot community and this forum can sometimes be pretty negative?  I am also wrong that the forum seems to be unable for the most part to attract and retain new contributing members?    I am wrong that those two statements might be connected?     it’s an odd response to my post, but have at it.     If you are more comfortable in the archives and don’t want a thriving online community with new productive members, so be it.  In that case, start a new thread about how can we chase off even more people so there can be even less annoyances on the forum.  I won’t post an opinion in that particular thread.     You are a patron, so you have financially invested in this forum.  If you want to take it in a certain direction, go ahead.  Hell, if you want to take it down to ten people who all contribute to its upkeep and ban everyone else, go ahead.   Cow thermal?  A level researchers?  Monetization?      I thought that the thread was a discussion about the decrease in activity on the forum.  Not an apparent airing of grievances.  My opinion stands.  Sometimes people are in the community so long that they become overwhelmingly bitter about the subject.  That bitterness is not really welcoming to new people and their involvement.  From what my buddy tells me, the Ham Radio community faces something similar, although from what he says it’s actually getting better slowly.     if I am misunderstanding what you are saying and am misrepresenting what you say, then I apologize.  But, there were no “grains of sophistry” in my comment.   How so?  I am wrong that the Bigfoot community and this forum can sometimes be pretty negative?  I am also wrong that the forum seems to be unable for the most part to attract and retain new contributing members?    I am wrong that those two statements might be connected?     it’s an odd response to my post, but have at it.     If you are more comfortable in the archives and don’t want a thriving online community with new productive members, so be it.  In that case, start a new thread about how can we chase off even more people so there can be even less annoyances on the forum.  I won’t post an opinion in that particular thread.     You are a patron, so you have financially invested in this forum.  If you want to take it in a certain direction, go ahead.  Hell, if you want to take it down to ten people who all contribute to its upkeep and ban everyone else, go ahead.   Cow thermal?  A level researchers?  Monetization?      I thought that the thread was a discussion about the decrease in activity on the forum.  Not an apparent airing of grievances.  My opinion stands.  Sometimes people are in the community so long that they become overwhelmingly bitter about the subject.  That bitterness is not really welcoming to new people and their involvement.  From what my buddy tells me, the Ham Radio community faces something similar, although from what he says it’s actually getting better slowly.     if I am misunderstanding what you are saying and am misrepresenting what you say, then I apologize.  But, there were no “grains of sophistry” in my comment.   How so?  I am wrong that the Bigfoot community and this forum can sometimes be pretty negative?  I am also wrong that the forum seems to be unable for the most part to attract and retain new contributing members?    I am wrong that those two statements might be connected?     it’s an odd response to my post, but have at it.     If you are more comfortable in the archives and don’t want a thriving online community with new productive members, so be it.  In that case, start a new thread about how can we chase off even more people so there can be even less annoyances on the forum.  I won’t post an opinion in that particular thread.     You are a patron, so you have financially invested in this forum.  If you want to take it in a certain direction, go ahead.  Hell, if you want to take it down to ten people who all contribute to its upkeep and ban everyone else, go ahead.   Cow thermal?  A level researchers?  Monetization?      I thought that the thread was a discussion about the decrease in activity on the forum.  Not an apparent airing of grievances.  My opinion stands.  Sometimes people are in the community so long that they become overwhelmingly bitter about the subject.  That bitterness is not really welcoming to new people and their involvement.  From what my buddy tells me, the Ham Radio community faces something similar, although from what he says it’s actually getting better slowly.     if I am misunderstanding what you are saying and am misrepresenting what you say, then I apologize.  But, there were no “grains of sophistry” in my comment.  

I haven’t posted in ages and rarely comment, but I am watching. Willing to bet there’s a lot of others on here doing the same. Casual lurkers make up sizable chunks of any forum
