bipedalist Posted March 6, 2013 BFF Patron Share Posted March 6, 2013 Yah, if you want to really be the conscience of the forum you have to go into the sordid history of these events.....Kentucky pancake video...... Bighead BF in a turban, promises that the HD footage that is higher resolution is much better, sales by Moneymaker, lawsuits back and forth...... promises, promises. Now if they have something else fine. But Chewbacca waltzing as Matilda won't make a dent in it. So do you really think anything said on this forum would run anybody away except Dyer?

Guest miller44 Posted March 6, 2013 Share Posted March 6, 2013 So do you really think anything said on this forum would run anybody away except Dyer? A point well made. It would probably be a mistake for them to underestimate our collective sense of annoyance, but it would also be a mistake for us to overestimate our collective sense of importance. Whatever money there is still to be made from spectacle, most of it won't come from us. Since that seems to be what it's all about, I doubt we are much of a factor.

slabdog Posted March 7, 2013 Share Posted March 7, 2013 It's funny how for years everyone on this forum was flipping out on a weekly basis about the Erickson Documentary. Everyone so eager to see it. And now look at everyone. They couldn't wait to find a new enemy. Good luck with ever seeing it now. = Had AE maintained strict silence until the film was ready to be released and NOT leaked bits of "evidence" here and there over the years and NOT created a promotional website to hype up interest... Then I would probably have agreed with you. Bottom line: He made mistakes along the way and now - regardless of whether or not he is sincere and has the "real deal" - he is now reaping what he sewed.

Guest Posted March 7, 2013 Share Posted March 7, 2013 He leaked 1 single picture and then a video of that same picture. What else did he leak? I recall hardly any interviews with the guy other than the trailer for the documentary. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest Posted March 7, 2013 Share Posted March 7, 2013 You said "NOT leaked bits of "evidence" here and there over the years" One trailer, and one video/picture of a sleeping bigfoot. I don't really think that qualifies as "bits of evidence here and there". Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I don't really think that qualifies as "bits of evidence here and there". There has been a mountain of hype (especially from the Ketchum camp) about The Ericson Project over the years. That being the case I'm not sure what point you are trying to make with this post? Didn't you say yourself eariler in the thread that "for years everyone on this forum was flipping out on a weekly basis about the Erickson Documentary" ...why do you think we have been "flipping out"? The reason for this is either the systematic build up and hype surrounding the footage on the part of Ericson/Ketchum, or that we all got excited and "flipped out" for no reason whatsoever. Clearly it was the former. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Posted March 7, 2013 Share Posted March 7, 2013 Oh agreed. My point though is that all of this hype has been from everyone BUT Adrian himself. Heck, he even took his website down for nearly a year. He also had a disclaimer on it that the EP is the sole source of any information on the project and anyone else was subject to litigation. A statement like that certainly isn't indicitive of someone who wants others to be talking for them. Compred to the whole Bigfoot scene he's been quiet as a church mouse.

Cotter Posted March 7, 2013 Share Posted March 7, 2013 ^^Plussed.... Very true. However, do you feel that perhaps now is the time to break the silence and issue a statement? ANY sort of statement? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I think it is indicative of someone who is very suspicious, very secretive and probably has a reason for being such. It's called gamesmanship, and people in Bigfooting that shell out the money for such nonsense are sick and tired of it. Shut it down, shut up or simply put up. Just because he has MM and Bobo fooled doesn't mean others can't see through the commercialism slant. Edited March 8, 2013 by bipedalist 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest wudewasa Posted March 8, 2013 Share Posted March 8, 2013 Ironically, this is a Wendy's commercial! "I don't think there's anybody back there." No, there isn't! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I don't really think that qualifies as "bits of evidence here and there". You conveniently left out ALL of my comment: ....and NOT created a promotional website to hype up interest... Listen.... I have absolutely no quarrel with AE. As a matter fact I give him credit for attempting to bring attention to the subject through his apparent research and apparent pending video. My issue is simply focused on the fact that he and his followers cannot expect to hype this issue up as they have while simultaneously dragging out the release of his video and not expect to take tough questions and criticism as a result. If they wanted perpetual privacy they should've maintained perpetual silence. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest gershake Posted November 16, 2013 Share Posted November 16, 2013 (edited) So most of us have lost hope about Erickson for many reasons. One reason being his ties to Melba Ketchum, who had nothing; another reason being his silly little snippets & teasers that aren't very convincing. Yet I recall a time before we even knew who Melba Ketchum was when many of us thought Erickson was gonna solve the bigfoot mystery once and for all. Why? For me, part of it was this article. It's a very detailed summary of the backstory to the Kentucky project (which is what it was called back before it got renamed to Erickson project). For some reason I had to think about it again today, and I had to wonder just what all has happened since I first read it. Erickson is still in everyone's mouths, and people are still waiting for him to release his documentary, either because they hope that he does have the goods and the teaser trailers are just that - teasers, or because they want the ******** to be over and done with for everyone to see. But I think a lot of the people here don't even know the vast backstory to this, and I thought I'd post it here for posterity.
