Why 1987?
Why the year 1987? I mean why did Scott choose the year 1987 to be the year in FNaF. Like why not 1988 or 1986, why 1987?

What do you mean by that? The Bite of 87?

People who believe that FNAF 4 took place in 1987 believe that it was The Bite of '87, which is mentioned in the FNAF 1 game.

Others believe it was 1983, the year mentioned on a television set.

Oh okay, they were a bit....cryptic in what they were asking. Anyways, it wasn't the Bite of 87 portrayed in Fnaf 4. Too much evidence stacking up against it.

There is a lot of evidence stacked up against The Bite of 83 as well.

I honestly believe that is was indeed the Bite of '87. The reason I say this is because the 1983 thing? It was the year of a cartoon. I still see shows on that were back from the 90s. So a show being on TV that originally aired in '83 would definitely still be showing re-runs. I don't understand why people can't just get it through their head! I mean, it makes perfect since!

The main basis for it being the Bite of 87 was right in front of us the whole time. It was in FNaF1:
-Golden Freddy jumpscare when 1987 is entered (suggests that a "yellow bear" did the bite)
-It's Me, is accompanied by images of Freddy and Bonnie (representing Fredbear & Spring Bonnie, possibly giving away the location of the bite)
-There's a chance that you can get the Golden Freddy jumpscare on the death screen (the chance that you get it is the same chance of Golden Freddy appearing on the poster) (this may suggest that the bite victim died at some point, like our FNaF4 kid did).

The only "83" clues are that the TV had the date and that 83 was in the code (which ALSO had 87, not only in the code but in the Nightmare Foxy teaser's eye, as well). Fredbear's could have been re-opened, there's nothing that disproves it either (FNaF3 doesn't disprove it, just because there's a lack of Fredbear in the building (the place could have bought out by another company after it was closed down (after the re-opening) and everything with Fredbear was scrapped / binned during the renovations)).

Doesn't hold up with the 20 years.

1987 does have some significance. It was the year the first full bodied animatronics of the Chuck E. Cheese characters were made. Prior to that, they were only half bodied.

Yes, actually. Also, the fact that Phone Guy never mentions a Bite of 83.

Why 2015? Why are we in 2015? I mean, why is 2015 the year we're living in? Like, why not 1776, or 2103?

You do realize that if he picked something like 1988 for the year, we'd still be here arguing about why Scott picked that for the year.

Phone Guy was never at Fredbear's Family Diner.

F2N5: It's been closed for years though, I doubt we'll be able to track anybody down.

It's entirely possible that Bite of '83 happened and Phone Guy didn't know.
