I especially like this post by an administrator of the BFRO BFF regarding the Westmoreland PA vocal:



I can see those high standards of quality all over that post.

I just got finished looking at it from the link on the cave thing..
all I got to say is "bound to happen and figures." :sign_baa:

The BFRO named their board "Bigfoot Forums"? Wow. :popcorn2:

Ruh-roh.

Its like "Invasion of the Body Snatchers", except IBS was cool.

Please remember you are reading the original Bigfoot Forums... the first "copycat" was EB, with his .net - now the BFRO tries to take the name as their own. :doh:

We all know the truth.

Just checked it out. I do not think I will be posting over there anytime soon. Looked like they also "stole" several of our threads here as well. :new_whistle:

They can name them the same as these, but they can't take the domain name.

:censored: :new_grrr: :youwish:

Don't you think they would love to?

Oh certainly, yes.

... now that I think about it, they might just try. :ohmy:

I love the cutesy screen names. Does MM have a lot of children or something?

I went and looked, what a cheap dump.




Oh LAL, don't feign protest, we all know as soon as a PGF thread starts over there, you'll get your own cutesy screen name.

I actually created a cute-ish screen name and joined, then I read to post you have to send an administrator your real name address and phone number - AND you had to change your screen name to some form of your real name!

What the heck is up wit all dat?! :new_weirdsmiley:

Well, I emailed them as asked the following:

""Hi, I was wondering if you knew there was already several other message/discussion boards out on the net about Bigfoot/Sasquatch since your message board said it was the only one.

Also, is this message board an official board of the BFRO, or independently run? The name you picked is also the same name as one of the other ones that’s been online for several years. I hope that doesn’t cause any confusion.""

I'm interested to see what their official response is.

Now, as far as favorite quotes from there so FAR...

""This is the only message forum on the Internet for bigfoot/sasquatch research.

This board was set up for the same purpose as the BFRO database -- to facilitate the flow of credible information from the public, to the public.""

""This message forum must maintain the same high standards of quality as the group maintains with its membership.""

""I'm glad BFRO set up this forum, it's nice to hear from other individuals that have the same train of thought and opinions as me. Keep up the good work BFRO!""

:new_whistle:

:new_whistle:

:compdumbass:

Looked at it. Tried to use. Gave up. Laughed at the attempt.

Two web pages to just get to one that downloads a picture?!!!

Probably the 'click' of the delete button.

Looks like M. M.'s latest attempt at revenge on "the cesspool" of the Internet. Well I know which forum smells the worse, and its not here. :new_evil2:


So they want your real name. And they want your address. And they want your phone number :bsflag:

Too much info in the wrong hands, can be a very dangerous thing... No Thanks.

Topic I started here on March 21, 2006
"What Do You Think Is The Best Approach?
Chase Or "Lay In Wait"?"

Topic a member there started April 9, 2006
"Search or Wait for Bigfoot"

Could be VAFooter, maybe not verbatim but the general idea.

Ok... so I found THIS on BFRO.

It IS acknowledged as their official site. <?>

""You are invited to the official Bigfoot Forums.

:popcorn2:

Doubtful, I already cornered that market. :wink:

RayG

Wow. I counted TEN administrators over there! LOL Guess that comes along with the price of admission. Pay for expedition..become a bfro investigator AND a website administrator. What a deal!

I like this quote from one of the "administrators"


Have another glass of kool-aid! :guinness:

Wow, with all the paranoia over names and phone numbers, I thought for a moment I had stumbled upon the website of 'he who shall remain nameless'. (and no, I don't mean the guy formerly known as Prince.) :laugh:

RayG

With all that paranoia, I was almost expecting them to ask for a DNA sample, a fingerprint and a retinal scan :new_weirdsmiley:

They had a forum a couple years ago? Things got kinda sticky and it shut down I think....anybody remember why?

We all could always crash the party

May the crabs of a thousand crack ho's infest Matt Moneymaker's nether regions !!!
SIM - SALA - BIM !!!!!! :icon_twisted:

Before I say anything else, I'm sure Maheekat's post was made in jest, but this forum will not tolerate any BFF members making any attempt to disrupt the BFRO forum by posting abusive messages.



For the record, Moneymaker registered here way back in 2002 as 'Frontman', and in 2003, asked BFF to set up a forum to co-ordinate the 'Bigfoot Roundup', so unless he has alziemers or something, Moneymaker knows full well there is another forum on the Internet called 'Bigfoot Forums', and is just making another attempt at winning his pissing contest.

The trouble is that Moneymaker is constantly pissing into the wind by himself, and simply ends up looking like a silly child who has wet himself.

Very sad.

Moneymaker is an appropriate name methinks!

We all know this is the original and best and they can't take that away

I am actually quite concerned that people might be confused about which are the bigfootforums, and which are the bfro forums.

So, in a gesture of co-operation and generosity, i registered a new domain name that may help.

You can now get the the official BFRO 'bigfoot forums' using the url www.bfroforums.net


I'm pretty sure I'm directing traffic to the BFRO website - it is hard to tell these days. :new_whistle:

:rolling:

:icon_really_happy_guy: :icon_really_happy_guy: :icon_really_happy_guy: :icon_really_happy_guy:



<Gasp, cough, SNORT>

:icon_really_happy_guy:

Looks great to me, Paul. It will help alleviate some confusion. :biggrin:
You know what they say about the glove fitting.. :new_whistle:

You mean me? I have 2 at home (5yo son and a 2yo daughter) I have 2 that I misscarried (but they are still my children, I just never got to hold them :icon_cry: ) and I have one more on the way, due in October (and if hubby doesn't get snipped by the time this one is born, I'll have to do it myself :smily1262: LOL) so even though I may not have all 5 running around the house, 3 seems like MANY to me most of the time :new_lmaosmiley:



:doh: I am an idiot!!!!! (that or I have a terrible head cold coupled with the fact that I have had no coffe yet this morning) No, you didn't mean me. To quote everyone's favourite donkey "Don't pay any attention to me, nobody ever does."

:doh: , how original, use an established name to create a forum board for a organization that prides it self as, "The only scientific research organization exploring the bigfoot / sasquatch mystery.". Yet it can not be more original in naming a forum board for their use. Now we have to endure two faux "bigfootforums" on the internet. Yet they state on their website, "Those in the organization anticipate that this emphasis on cooperation and professionalism is not only the most realistic approach to resolving the mystery."

Very professional indeed :new_rolleyes: .

Maybe they need to hire someone to be more creative in naming websites and forum boards for them.

The very thought of even trying to compete with Ray on this subject makes me want an epidural :laugh:



While we are on the subject of Matt's kids. Can I say something? (LAL, this is not an attack on you at all, just something that has been in the back of my mind for awhile) It is no secret that many of us have serious issues with Matt. We need to leave his kids out of the situation though. They are young and they love their daddy and their daddy loves them. They are not involved in his squatchy endeavors and should be left out of the whole mess he's created.

Now back to the bashing! :laugh:

Redwolf

I'm sure he's ecstatic to have you writing about him getting "snipped" on a public message-board, too. :wink:

[Groucho Marx voice] "I love my cigar, too, but I take it out of my mouth every once in a while." [/Groucho Marx voice]

I'm just glad I had the easy/fun part. :happy:

Even though there were major complications with the last birth, and wifey can no longer have children, she regrets we don't have more. :ohmy: Where would we put them? :new_lmaosmiley:



I agree on both counts.

RayG

How could something so wrong feel soooooo right? :laugh:

Jest, I don't even bother looking at that website anymore.




True. Looks like he has joined the many " Fanciful websites "

I dunno, I guess neither of us see it as a really big deal. (yikes, on a topic like this wording can be crusial :new_weirdsmiley: LOL)

I'm just going to wait & see what happens. It struck me as odd that he would choose to name the board as such. Just because he's set up this forum does not guarantee the desired results. The flamboyant claims are just that. The proof is in the pudding. I'm sitting back to see what it all amounts to for a while. Most of you know what to expect.

I can't see much critical thinking going on there, considering the overly controlled situation of the whole website.

Just give him enough rope, and see what he does with it...


"If you use a rotten egg in the mix, the cake ain't gonna taste the same" (quote from good ole Annie)


Editted to add, in case anyone wonders: I am not pro-BFRO. I'm not saying to give him a chance. I am saying that I won't lower myself to "diss" the forum. Just wait, look, see...

LOL .... wheeeeze... ahem. Funny. :new_thumbsupsmileyanim:

You know, you're right, that was TMI. I went back to edit it but couldn't figure out how (turned out I was just too late :icon_bang: ) My bad. Oh well, I'm a coughing, sneezing, nose-worn-raw-from-hundred-tissue-uses mass of congestion right now thanks to him. (this is how I look right now :willy_nilly: ) He brags how he can share a water bottle with a guy at work who has a cold and he wont get sick.....then he gets sick and gives it to ME!!!! He's lucky a slip up on a public forum is all I've done

The BFF should be flattered by the wannabe imitators.....EB, MM, next???
First to market is a big advantage, this forum is sound and viable.....it's an 800lb gorilla, 2nd best can only be a monkey.


Monkeymaker makes a monkey ....bfd, it'll go the same way of EB's monkey. If you want to compete with the BFF, you've got to differentiate yourself. Apparently, Monkeymaker missed that day in class.

Oh, I haven't laughed this hard in a long time..... :new_thumbsupsmileyanim:

ROTFLMFAO!!! :rolling: :new_thumbsupsmileyanim:

OMG!!! www.bfroforums.net



That's the funniest thing I've ever seen :popcorn2:

Ah , come on Saskwatcher. You didn't put any effort into that at all . Mind if I try ?



See Saskwatcher , all you have to do is apply yourself :wink:

TCF

Monkeymaker you done pi$$ed off the wrong crowd... :laugh:

RayG

Not sure if you've all seen it. But, MM no longer calls his board the "bigfoot forums". It is now called the "BFRO public use forums".
