Please search past topics for anything having to do with dragons, I believe we're unofficially no longer allowed to talk about them.
Not true, there is nothing to stop members discussing this topic however we do try to restrict the number of threads on them so that the cryptozoology board isn't taken over by them as has been known to happen in the past, usually one active thread is sufficient at any given time.

The non-hoax photos of Nessie, Champ, Oggopoggo, and others are probably photos of real dragons. That's why we haven't caught these creatures yet, dragons are smarter than most humans.
"Dragons are smarter than humans" is about an unsubstantiated a statement as you can make; 'dragons' are not believed to exist and are not formally recognised as genuine creatures anywhere in science, how then can you make a statement like this about how intelligent something is that has never been observed, studied or catalogued ? You can't possibly know this to state it so assuredly as hard fact and you do this all the time. "In my opinion if dragons existed they would be more intelligent than humans" would be a much more acceptable comment, you must make it clear when something is your opinion, if you make statements like this then all you do is open yourself up to criticism and attack from other members.
I'd also like to see an example of a 'non-hoax' photograph of one of the abovementioned lake monsters.
