Perhaps no real excuses, but I will say that there have been a few major and minor changes to my life, my research, and what I focus on. But I have not been idly sitting around, twiddling my thumbs.
There were outside influences on my research and it was time to sit back and decide what paths I wanted to take. I dislike being a "de-bunker". I much prefer to give you the story and all I can find out about it and let you decide. However, when things have progressed to a certain point, I will come out and voice my opinion loud and clear. I don't like people who deliberately mislead others for fun or profit.
Also related to my research is my research partner. It has been decided that whatever is discovered privately will no longer be shared publicly. While we are sorry for that, circumstances have developed that shaped that decision. So the posts written about that research have been removed from this blog and Leo is no longer a co-writer on the blog.
Last December events converged to cause a major influx of member requests and applications to the group that Leo and I were co-owning. As Leo had decided to step down from an active role, I and the rest of the Administrative staff worked on defining how the group was going to progress, if at all.
We decided that our members deserved to have the group continue. It's a good group, now over 8000 strong. I am proud of the members of that group and the standards they insist on for the group. I love their enthusiasm and their contributions whether it be opinion, experiences, questions or sharing the news of the day in relation to cryptids.
As for membership requests, I worked on handling over 100 requests a day. Looking at each profile, reading the answers to the questions asked, takes a great deal of time. Many were denied. Many more have become members. Some have left. But most have remained. Our membership tripled since December.
While I have been busy with all that and other personal issues, I have not abandoned researching for this blog.
I am working on researching and writing posts regarding Mexican bigfoot, canine cryptids, Native legends on sasquatch and other creatures, large cat cryptids, and much more.
Thank you for all my followers and readers. Thank you for staying the course and being patient. And welcome to my new readers. Patience is a virtue. [LOL] There will be more and hopefully very soon.
