I've been interested and involved in sasquatch research for a while now. Most of the research has focused on physical evidence of the creature's existence with little progress made. I'm starting some research into the people who believe in the creature's existence and would welcome any participation from the members here. Whether you believe or not, your input would be appreciated. The current study is looking at coping styles. You'll be asked some questions about your level of belief and then some questions about how you coped with a recent problem. If you're interested in taking the survey, it is located at the Alliance of Independent Bigfoot Researcher's homepage (bigfootresearch.com) and will soon be available at the Sasquatch Research Initiative website (sasquatchonline.com). The survey is about halfway down the page under the title "Survey on Sasquatch Beliefs Seeks Your Participation!" This is actual research being conducted under the supervision of psychologists and the results will be published for all to see. Thanks to those who participate.

This is a phishing attempt. One must register as a member in order to take the survey. Clicking on the "Vote" button in the survey brings up a page that reads:

You are trying to access a restricted area.

We're sorry, but we have reserved this area of our site for registered users only

You can register for free by following this link, thus granting you permission to access this area of our site.

Thank you for your understanding​

They're phishing for members from JREF -- perhaps to claim a little legitimacy.

Mr. Banta, Could you try to be just a little more obvious?​

FWIW - the link in my post goes straight to the survey - no registration nec. I didn't register for anything and didn't see the registration request, either. Not sure where the disconnect is.
 
Thanx, madurobob!

I took the survey, and for the part that asked "How do you cope?" I answered, "I've retained lawyers for those situations where a well-placed .357 round would be too messy."

Golly, I hope that won't affect my grade.

(Later that same day...)

I don't know, either. I went back and got right to the survey again. Took it again, too. Different answers.
 
I've got some hot .357 SJHPs a buddy loaded for me.. lots of fun. I'm not sure they're effective against invisible bigfoot, but one day I may get to test that theory.
 
Just a point, when I took it, on the second page it started asking the questions using my name. Did anyone else notice or get the same? I got out quick, but not sure how they did it. I run a firewall but don't know that much about how the internet works. Could they get this info from my ip address. (even google doesn't call me by name)
Is this something to worry about? Any computer boffins out there?

Is your name Paul?

Whats your story ACS? Believer? Ever encountered an invisible phase-shifting bigfoot?

I believe in the possibility and that people are experiencing something. I'm just not sure what.

Btw, not sure what the registration thing was someone mentioned early in the thread. Everything about this research is on the level and thoroughly perused and approved by an academic committee at the University of Central Oklahoma.

It is. So I suppose it says Paul to everyone?
Thought I might have to leave this forum and find a sentient laptop mindreading forum. Must be one somewhere.

Dood, this IS sentient laptop mindreading forum.

:) How long have you had this generic name? You should be used to it by now. I work in a building with a couple thousand people and there are three there with my same first and last name!

Goes with my generic personailty. And without your help I could have auctioned my sentient mindreading laptop for millions on ebay - better than stale virgin mary toast. Thanks a lot.
 
Arm Chair Squatcherback,

I see your selections for self-evaluation are:

High belief in sasquatch.

Low belief in sasquatch.

Why not offer, no belief in Sasquatch?
 
gee, I just assumed "no belief" was at the extreme of "low belief" and carried on from there.

I saw no reason to get caught up in semantics, tho I fully expect the researchers to (and to their advantage).
 
Well, I just contributed for it.

As madurobob, I assumed that "low belief" includes my position (very very very very unlikely to exist).

I am interested in the results; hopefully the participation of skeptics will provide an interesting comparison standard.
