LOST-Theories.com

-

I am an alumnus of LT.com with a new name and a real desire to get this site back on track. I am ready to commit to the future of this site if there are even 10 of you out there who share my desire to bring LT.com back to its former glory. And what I mean by that is putting away the name calling, the cursing, and all the thoughtless posts and getting back to the business of well thought out arguments, clever reasoning and really working hard together to figure this show out. I’m not having any fun and I don’t imagine anyone else is either. If 10 people commit to this and to post one well thought out theory each day for the next 10 days before this post cycles through the first page I will immediately post my first theory and keep to the same commitment I am asking you to make. Let us make this a site we can be proud of together. I think we also need to be open to the possibility that some folks may want to turn over a new leaf and if someone affixes their name to this that we have come to think of as an antagonist I ask that we would give them the benefit of the doubt and afford them a fresh start. No need for comments just your name alone will be enough to signify your commitment. If this post cycles through without 10 affixed names I will leave permanently. But I am hopeful. Thanks.

    hey, i love this site… right now i don’t have time to write out some theories everyday… but i get on here everyday and try to comment some ppl to support and pledge my loyalty to this site in different ways…

    i love it here…. if for some reason you have to leave for good… would you be opposed to turning it over to someone else?

    Hey hallafortheballa!,

    That’s great. You don’t have to be one of the ten writers to make an impact. Even this post you left is a boost. Whatever you can do to promote a healthy site will be appreciated. If you have only time for one post in the next week just make it your best effort. And make certain to encourage those who do commit to writing daily posts by interacting with their ideas and let them feel that love.

    This site is not mine to turn over. I do not own nor will I ever seek to own this site. I just love Lost and I enjoy this format. And I know that when we operate as we ought this is the best game in town.

    I am looking for ten (or more) writers because I think we all need the morale boost of being able to come to the site for the next 10 days and know there will be a handful of posts worth reading at any given time. I believe we still have the talent here on this site to be a voice in the larger Lost world.

    You have convicted me as well that I should have made it clearer that 20 who write 5 quality theories over 10 days could be just as good. In the end we are looking for a hundred posts spread out over 10 days.

    i like your idea, but i fear that nothing will change. the bad posters will follow.

    SG, let’s figure out how many of us there are before we capitulate. Are you willing to give it a shot? We need you.

    sierratango, I was just checking back to see if anything has changes since the “Purge” and well it looks like the some onld thing is going on here still even among a post like your that is trying to build unity. If you are looking for a good community to post in my I suggest http://losties.darkbb.com/index.htm Very good site with moderators to stop the Trolls and no badgate ways.

    I loved this site when I first found it but unfortunalty ovet the past few months before the purgeing of the site by Jeff it really started going down hill. I think Jeff shutting down this site was the best thing that happened for it forced me to search out a new place else where to go and play and I did find a place and my new home is so much better.

    There are great places out on the web to post I suggest you do a little seraching if your efforts here are not respected and appreciated.

  10. Genesis May 27, 2008 7:13 a.m. Comment: 10

    I’m up for it, and I advertised this site on youtube after it went down. I suggest everyone does the same.

  11. YinGirl May 27, 2008 7:27 a.m. Comment: 11

    I love the format as well and that’s why I prefer this site over the other site advertised by Alaina. There are hundreds of forums like the other site but this one is still the best. Of course if all that goes on is bickering then who would want to stay but for the time being, there are some great theories and ideas that are posted each day and its too easy to ignore the few trolls. So I’ll be here each day as long as I can. I’ll still visit the few other sites that I usually do but this one is still my favourite.

  12. Annie79 May 27, 2008 7:43 a.m. Comment: 12

    Alaina, I have asked nicely before and I am asking again, please don’t come here advertising Jax’s site on LT! I will have to speak to Jax personnally the next time this happens. This is only a courtesy to the members who have chosen to stay on here at LT.

    You have made your choice and I wish you well there, but I don’t go on your site advertising LT, so give us the same courtesy,please. :)

  13. JacobsRevenge May 27, 2008 8:02 a.m. Comment: 13

    Jacob agrees with this experiment to keep LT alive. +1 to you, sir or madam. I don’t post theories, but I am here to back you up 100%.

  14. Irocz28 May 27, 2008 8:11 a.m. Comment: 14

    Annie, I don’t advertise any other site even though I no longer consider LT my primary site for Lost discussion anymore. That being said, I don’t think speaking to Jax personally is going to change anything. Jax can’t control who advertises the site. It’s not like Jax is going around telling people to advertise the site. I think people like Alaina are actually trying to be nice and helpful, as opposed to disrespectful.

  15. Celeste May 27, 2008 8:35 a.m. Comment: 15

    Irocz, I think you know I have no arguement with you. I don’t think Jax is telling people to advertise the site. My problem is with the people who do advertise on LT. I don’t think you would like it very much if I joined your site and started advertising LT over there, which is something I wouldn’t do, of course.

    I thought the problem had stopped, saw it didn’t, so I addressed it again when I saw it. I will again, if I see it again. I think you would do the same.

  16. love2bLost May 27, 2008 8:42 a.m. Comment: 16

    ditto,sierratango! love2bLost is happy to theorize in true LT fashion. Let’s get our theory on!

    Hey Annie this is Lojozz, I spotted the advert and informed Jax who immediately put up another post on her site requesting that people do not advertise it here.

    Glad to see you still fighting the good fight over here.

  18. CosmicJewels May 27, 2008 9:23 a.m. Comment: 18

    This has been a great site for theories (and I missed it while it was on it’s short hiatus). Looking forward to more of them!

    Hey Lojozz, thanks for noticing the ad and informing Jax. That was very nice of her to put up a post about it too.

    Yes, I’m still fighting the good fight, but had to change my name to Celeste because of being trolled again! That goes along with the territory, I guess.

    Thanks again. :)

    Ok then… I’ll put my name on this. highbrow. I like to consider myself one of the good members. Maybe the worse among them though…

    If you want to be one of the 10 who post each day- please just your name.

    Annie79 I was only trying to be helpful and thank you for so wonderfully displaying what is wrong with LT.

  25. Shasty May 27, 2008 12:22 p.m. Comment: 25

    wont be able to post everyday, mostly because i dont have anything good to post everyday, but i will be in support.

  26. YinGirl May 27, 2008 12:25 p.m. Comment: 26

    I’ll put my name up YinGirl and highbrow you are definitely not one of the worse, actually one of the best. I watch for your comments because you are hilarious.

  27. MasterLocke May 27, 2008 1:49 p.m. Comment: 27

    I was beginning to worry I’d never taste a fresh LT brew again… Thanks JC.

    Upon first arriving at LT Tavern there were numerous bar keeps with in depth knowledge and skill. Bartenders like AC, Jazz, Annie, Prof, and on and on, could serve up a pint like no other. As time progressed and my thirst for a fresh beverage continued to aggresively gain control, I found that I was receiving anything but.

    It seemed the tavern had regressed and the new keeps were serving up watered down garbage. The new employees were rude, not very bright, and seemed like they’d rather start a bar brawl then get everyone wasted. I even had to take one out myself… ala Bas Rutten tactics.

    RIP luv2hate…

    That said… I had to get my fix elsewhere. Now that the Tavern has re-opened, I will again try out a frothy brew or two. Just make sure they stay fresh and frosty please.

    Now… where are my old bartenders? I need a shot…

  28. LouisWu May 27, 2008 2:46 p.m. Comment: 28

    Seems like the hatch is finally imploding. Remember the whole Kama/dhama theory thingy - maybe there’s something in it afterall.

    Jeff warned everyone after season 1 that they were not to email him, that the site was produced on a shoestring budget as a hobby and that if it ever became a burden he would shut it down.

  29. highbrow May 27, 2008 2:58 p.m. Comment: 29

    By one of the worst I meant not always or rarely serious. I read the theories and a couple of times written a couple of posts myself. If I have something serious to say I say it. If I think I can get a laugh I’ll say that too. But I try not to say anything pointlessly mean because it’s just not worth my time to type things like that.

    I’m one of the good guys! I don’t flame people! See? I’m kind of like Ben…

  30. highbrow May 27, 2008 3:14 p.m. Comment: 30

    And thanks, by the way…

  31. lost4815162342 May 27, 2008 3:55 p.m. Comment: 31

    There are way too many of these non theories on here now.

  32. sierratango May 27, 2008 4:36 p.m. Comment: 32

    I agree lost4815162342, but I’m trying to put a plan in action. I don’t want to talk about the site anymore. As a matter of fact , I propose we place a moratorium on posts about the site for the 10 day barrage of well argued theories and responses. I just want to read and write thoughtful material. We’ve tried ignoring these malcontents and it didn’t work. I want us to put 100 all but earth shattering posts up on this board that will unmask the counterfeit Lost Theory.com community that has risen up here and set the LOST world’s ears at our door.

  33. sierratango May 27, 2008 5:10 p.m. Comment: 33

    Some have proposed that we leave LT.com and go to losties.darkbb. I’ve been to the other site and truthfully it is wonderful. There is a great family feeling over there that many of us may want to participate in. And for right now they are not inundated with people that want to undermine their good work; it is very attractive. Go ahead check it out, go ahead and join if you like but like their site administrator said it is not an either or decision.

    LT.com has been unique. Whereas losties.darkbb is a “home”, LT.com is a “think tank” for serious minded Lost theorists who want to grind it out with their minds without any distraction. Sadly, it would seem, many of the best theorists left this site to exclusively tend to the other. We are going to have to go into over-drive to convince them to attend to both. The best way to resolve this competitiveness between the sites is to acknowledge they both have something to offer. Let them advertise over here for all I care as long as they let us advertise over there that we are unique and have much to offer the no nonsense theorists.

    MasterLocke, who did you “take out”?!?! Are you joking! You can’t even take out the garbage from your mother’s kitchen.

    Like I said I LUV this site…maybe I’ll give your mom my pearl necklace instead.

  35. 3MTA3 May 27, 2008 5:20 p.m. Comment: 35

    I just read your comment again and it sounded even gay-er the second time around.

    Your use of metaphors in your comment was very interesting…I wonder what the “frothy brew” you speak of refers to…I have a real good idea…the froth you desire which is dispensed by your favorite bartenders does NOT come from a mechanical beer tap but from the bartenders themselves!

    Drink up douchebag…and wipe off the “milk” moustache!

  36. 3MTA3 May 27, 2008 5:24 p.m. Comment: 36

    Hey MasterLocke I just checked out your profile and couldn’t believe that you posted that pic! Is that a mask you are wearing?!?!

    Can anyone see the huge silver-dollar sized bruises on these threads from me poking at them with a 20 foot pole?

    I have been poking BlondeGOP w/ my 12 inch pole for a few months now and she doesn’t have any bruises.

    Lost_Dbutz,. I feel for you man. You are one of this sites better posters and your posts shouldn’t be encapsulated with all this trash. Do you have any ideas? I hope that my post is not offending you.

  40. sierratango May 27, 2008 5:56 p.m. Comment: 40

    Your silence confirms my suspicion, there is no remedy. I’ve seen and heard enough. This place is a sewer. JCroft needs to pull the plug. I’m never looking back.

  41. kid_vicious30 May 27, 2008 5:58 p.m. Comment: 41

    sierratango, maybe you have fooled the others, but you haven’t fooled me. Trying to lure the best and brightest over to the other site, eh?

    Yea, that’s right, I’ve just been waiting for you to confirm it and now you have. You are nothing but a snake in the grass Mr. Good Deed, trying to save LT. Hah, not very likely.

    Do not fall for this charade, good members. LT is home, not the other site. This person is nothing more than a wolf in sheeps clothing. Pay no attention to him/her. See how he wanted just your names and theories. They need more members. They claim to have over 100, but how many are actively posting there? 12, maybe 14? Check it out if you want. I do not lie. I’ve done my homework for you.

  42. Karmashark May 27, 2008 6:35 p.m. Comment: 42

    Nice pickup Kid. It’s exactly what they’re up to and why they keep sniffing around LT pretending to be do-gooders. Wonder if they’re doing the trolling too. Wouldn’t surprise me one bit. Seems like somebody is pretty determined to get this site shut down before the finale of Lost. Sure hope J.Croft is paying attention. He thinks it’s just plain old trolls and not trolls who are doing it for a reason.

    Can anyone guess how many posters on this thread were actually X/ Seth_Norris? I’ll give you the rundown shortly. He’s gone completely off the deep end.

  44. sierratango May 27, 2008 9:23 p.m. Comment: 44

    Did you look at the posts that proceeded my deciding to cut out. You guys couldn’t be any more off base in your slander. Shame on you. Where were you when I was looking for help. But it only took you 2 minutes to condemn me when I finally gave up. shame on you.

  45. sierratango May 27, 2008 9:35 p.m. Comment: 45

    This post should have been flagged as obscene by you watch dogs. Did you read 6 and 37. This site is sick and frankly no one seems to be willing to give up their weekend to help it get better. Why can’t you take your hatefulness and all the energy you put into your destructive harassment of me and put it into creating some theories on this site; some descent theories. It is much easier to destroy this site than it is to build it back up. You guys are lazy cowards. I love this site and I tried to do something about it and when folks started flinging crap at me you were silent. and your silence was deafening and even more so now that I know you were sitting on the sidelines licking your chops waiting for me to weaken.

    I’m not promoting another site. I was just complaining earlier that we are wasting our time worrying about another site instead of appreciating the one we have.

    Maybe its right that I am in the troll area. As I think Ghandi said “In an unjust world the just fill the prisons”.

    I spoke with Jax weeks ago, and she can’t and won’t stop them from advertising! Just stop, and go back to posting theories annie, because it’s getting old.

  51. Novanca Jul 15, 2008 3:13 p.m. Comment: 51

    Ok this board is pretty old but I’m going to put my 2 cents in for whatever it’s worth. I just joined this site yesterday and I put up two theories and sure they weren’t very good and I’m not afraid to admit that but honestly the response I got to one of them was pretty much enough to make me rethink joining this site and finding another one. It was really rude and maybe the people on this site are all “serious” thinkers about Lost but that doesn’t make it ok to trash someone else’s idea, even if it is a bad theory. I don’t mean to sound whiny and I’m not going to say who it was but here is what was said to me: “Don’t waste your time fully thinking this one out as what you have so far is completely rediculous. The arguments you make in support of your “theory” are so preposterous as to not require elaboration.” Maybe it was stupid to even put this up on this board but it was still insulting and rude to have someone say that on my first day here.
