Resurrection of the International Society of Cryptozoology is bogus

Of interest to those hardcore cryptozoological folks, it appears that the International Society of Cryptozoology is resurrected, but it?s a sham?

Cryptomundo ? International Society of Cryptozoology ~ NOT!!!.

Cryptomundo cites Wikipedia:

With their website, Facebook group and the tagline ?studying the impossible since 1982? the International Society of Cryptozoology has resurfaced once again in 2011 with the single goal to reestablish itself within the Cryptozoological community.

Now based in London, England and sponsored by Roslyn Walker the new incarnation of the I.S.C. has kept many of the old values its predecessor set in place, including using the image of the Okapi for its logo. It is notable for the youth of many of the members [a total of seventy as of the beginning of November, 2011].

And asks:

So, who is behind this alleged re-launch of the ?new ISC.?

It is there, in print:

Our sponsors: Roslyn Walker is the world?s ORIGINAL gentleman escape artist and is now taking bookings for Christmas 2011.

And why? Can it be as simple as one of Walker?s special skills? He promotes that he is available for?PUBLICITY STUNTS.

Tip: Jeb Card

So, yeah, I don?t know what this is all about but the new sponsor is not a scientist (as the previous heads were). The website link cited is dead (www.internationalsocietyofcryptozoology.net) and the Facebook page is nonexistent as well. I?ve abandoned all hope for getting my membership fee back. With the resurgence of interest in cryptozoology, it is a bit of a wonder why anyone hasn?t legitimately started a new group. Instead, we have dozens of splinter groups based locally in states or by cryptid (mostly Bigfoot). But, this is another sore spot that eats into the credibility of cryptozoology ? no overarching organization. A shame, really. I?d join!
