^^^ Now, now Counselor. We all know you have a vested interest in getting the stats to show a 2am increase in events. And technically you are correct, but we're not tracking satellites here... A +-1 hour difference has little impact for our purposes. All we need to show is that the animal is nocturnal and the sightings are not due to regular human activity.

On a macro level I agree with some of the previous comments (Twist's and LCB's) about the public's need for instant gratification. We see it in our news cycles with the constant desire to feed the information beast. I am old enough to remember when news cycles were days long. Now, we are looking at mere hours. Hell, just take a look at people in the mall with their faces stuck in cell-phones - never before have we as a society been so closely connected yet been so absolutely isolated. The thing protecting bigfoot from discovery is not its great hiding ability; it's the fact that it lives in places where there is no cell-service (only partially kidding). I could go on and on but my facebook account just gave a notification!! H

If there is a lack of interest, I find that the best possible outcome if it happens. Unfortunately whether or not there is any Finding Bigfoot anymore, you also have the "other" and so much bigger FB. That's right, Facebook. It alone has degraded Bigfoot into a public display of pure nonsense. Some of the most absurd crap I've ever read dealing with Bigfoot is on there. I've been on all the Bigfoot forums over the years and even some Crypto sites. They fail in comparison. And it has also destroyed forums like the BFF.. There is several serious groups on there including mine. There has never been any deviations in our research. It's simply what we do and no one influences our belief in Bigfoot or the money, time, and miles we put in every year doing this. I also find that most of all the nonsense in the general Bigfoot groups on Facebook, I'd say 80% of these people has never even been out of their small suburban backyards but it's always Bigfoot no matter what. It's also an outlet for people to say what ever they want without any type of restrictions unless the group doesn't allow nonsense such as ours. So new people into Bigfoot will join these groups and think all that nonsense is real. And these wackos in these groups, it's not like they were/are actually doing or have ever done anything for real research into Bigfoot. But you're right, I've seen a decline in a lot of groups and even less shows on Tv about Bigfoot other than the same reruns all the time. At least the tv craze has died out some. If you're a field researcher it's best just to keep doing your thing by being in the woods as much as possible. You gotta love this if you're gonna do it right or have a chance.
