http://www.bigfootforums.com/index.php?showtopic%417We are discussing your video here, so far it seems to us this is not legit. Feel free to explain more about this with us. Thanks.

To Ron & all members of The Bigfoot Forums:
I appreciate the invitation to speak about yellowtopsightings.com. From what I can see, The Bigfoot Forums is a place for good, honest discussion about the Bigfoot phenomenon and I hope I can add to that. Will I be able to, as Ron inferred, "quickly get to the bottom of this"? I'm afraid not. But hear me out, in any case.
yellowtopsightings.com was launched only 2 days ago, and it was picked up by your members pretty quickly - before I'd really had a chance to finalize all its preliminary content. NWSquatcher pointed out the disclaimer at the bottom of the SIGHTINGS page which reads:
"yellowtopsightings.com is a promotional website for Yellow Top,
the upcoming short film by Noah Sodano."
Well noted. Upon further reflection, (some of it due to the discussion you all have been having) I have also added this:
"PLEASE NOTE: We do not vouch for, verify, or otherwise claim authenticity of any writing, video, or pictures posted on yellowtopsightings.com. All content is presented as a matter of record, and should (as with any content of this nature) be regarded with a healthy skepticism."
This is as clear as I'm going to be on this point. I respect (and share) your desire for truth and your skepticism is perfectly understandable. (The study of Bigfoot is, by its very nature, defined by skepticism.) Your community is no doubt still stinging from last year's pathetic frozen ape costume incident. I have long held a true passion for Bigfoot lore, and would hate to find myself on the same shelf as those money-grubbing idiots. For those of you who share a scientific interest in the sasquatch, you have every right to dismiss or ignore yellowtopsightings.com and any content posted there.
That being said, I hope you won't. Every creature has a story, those which are found to be "legit" and those which aren't. I hope that in the end, you'll find the story that plays out on yellowtopsightings.com to be compelling, no matter your opinion. In any case, give it a few months. Spring is coming, and the truth won't be far behind...
Respectfully yours,
YTS
