I registered to this forum so I could post this and give anyone a chance to reply. First off, Ive been interested in bigfoot "evidence" for as long as I can remember, and being 49 years old, thats a fair amount of time. To date the video footage provided by Todd Standing is some of the more convincing footage I've seen. Having said that, its getting old. So are the constant postings by Standing and other people who may or may not be close to him giving the standard "tease" of "exciting new information" ect.. That smells of nothing more than the standard baiting approach used by shams and cons for years untold. I would suggest that if you dont want that reputation, then dont do the things that will garner it. If you have something genuine to add that is more than just more self promotion then do it, if not then get on with whatever it is you are going to do, go back and get some more and better video if you truly can, no one would cheer you on more than I would but please quit insulting my inteligence with the usual blanket and vauge explanations as to why this or that isnt ready yet ect.. If you want me to give money or support to the ASPCA or some other animal care organisation then tell me that and I'll consider it, but dont link it to an animal that you or anyone else cannot PROVE exists. The circumstantial evidence is good, but it needs to be bolstered with something conclusive. well said...

It's sad that the field of bigfoot research seems to have turned away from serious research and into more of a publicity stunt over the last few years. What the field needs is an electric shock to the heart in the form of some good proof, and if someone has it, they should be screaming from the tallest building and showing it to everyone. Maybe then real researchers will be taken seriously and some credibility will return to the bigfoot community.

I agree. If only Todd would spend as much time behind the camera as he does in front of it. Seventeen seconds of big foot compared to hours and hours of Todd.

Great!! Now that we all agree that there is no concrete proof of the existence of BF and that all of the "researchers" should spend more time researching and less time talking, what are we going to debate?

Todd also said that on his main website sylvanic.com he would be revealing some mew evidence that he was supposed to of announced on the C2C show (but we all know what was supposed to of happened on the show) except for some news paper articles and a few pics of some muddy footprints that I could have done with my shoes off, nothing has been posted. When I first caught wind of Todd and what he was doing and saw some of the evidence he had, it made me the most excited I have been in a long time about my little hobby, finding information about BF. Now with everything I have read on this forum and on his website, I am starting to come to the conclusion that the way Todd is handling things does not add up, for many reasons that I won't get into, but they have all been stated in one form or another in this forum. I know that BF exists because I had my own very personal experience with him/her out dog sledding one winter night, and let me tell you if I had the equipment and the sense to of captured some evidence like Todd says he has, the first thing I would of done is to present it to organizations or individuals that CAN make a difference in the protection of this animal. National Geographic would pay big bucks for research if Todd was to present his so call evidence to the people who sign the checks at Nat Geo, and they have a lot of influence within governments for the protection of species that are considered to be endangered. Like I said what he has presented and the way he is handling his so called discovery is in my opinion questionable. And my BS meter is starting to go off.

Todd makes it sound like he has a TEAM of people working with him... DO you people actually believe this???
He has ken running the website and that is about it...
There is no field of expertise here, even though todd wants you to beleive there is... There are no experts.
There is just a guy and his hobby. I have not hate for todd, or any of his dozen followers...
All I ask is that people just think for 2 seconds.... This goes for all fields.... ufos, aliens, BF, psychics, etc... There is no big conspiracy. People Make nuts up all the time... I;m not saying all of these fields are completly bogus, but people with lots of time migrate towards these fields for one crazy reason or another... I will admit there is tons of entertainment value in this stuff, but I don't go to sleep thinking aliens are going to abduct me, psychics and seeing me die in 2 years or BF is going to beat me to death on a hike through the moutains....

I was just wondering if anyone knows if Todd has come to the forums recently? I think there are some really good points being made that he should see and hopefully respond to.

.....because a majority of Bigfoot researchers are in the BF research for monetary gain by locating a body and/or bones of Bigfoot: There is no necessity in giving "details" other than the visual video. Those of us that support "No Kill Theory" already have read and/or experienced the schemes/baiting/scoffing of the "Kill Theory" researchers to learn more "details" about Bigfoot from the "No Kill" researchers. SUMMARY: the Visual Video is sufficient to View and protect the BF (Forest People),,,, Three "V"s for "Victorious".

"Has anyone who has posted here really researched the history of Todd’s communications and what other websites and forums have to say about him and Sylvanic? If so, please let me know – I’ve been following this site for over two years now, and have scoured the web for insights, and I’d really like to compare notes with you."
Jusr Google "Todd Standing" and "Sylvanic" . It's all there.

I have no problem with people trying to make money off of BF... Everyone has to make a living... especially if you put that much time and effort into prooving something that may or may not exist.
in saying that... just because todd doesn't make much money out of this and even gives to charity, doesn't make what he says any more true.
and taffy341, Crappy video is not sufficient.
