Got a clue? Let's work together! We'll compile all LEGITIMATE clues here. Please BE SPECIFIC IN YOUR EMAIL'S SUBJECT LINE. This will help us sort & prioritize. We are committed to keeping this thorough and yet SIMPLE and always aimed at the truth.
I (David) just realized something really stupid that I did a long time ago. When I started this blog, I used what I believed to be the "official" TLE logo as a part of our banner and our podcast graphic. I was ignorant of the fact that TLE.com was a fan site and didn't even think about asking permission for or giving credit for the art. I just came to my senses and did some research. I wanted to finally give credit to "DocArzt" and thelostexperience.com for the artwork. I also wanted to let everyone know that they are graciously allowing us to continue using it on our site. Thanks a ton guys!
Click HERE to read the initial press release describing "The Lost Experience". This blog is devoted exclusively to "The Lost Experience". IF YOU'RE NEW TO THE GAME, our advice is to start at the bottom with Clue #1 and work your way up. You see, a few of us Lost fans have banded together hoping to keep track of all the clues, but we know that we can't do it alone. This game will require a global forum in order to discern the truth. Hopefully this site can be a common rendezvous point where all Lost fans can find what they're looking for (and also contribute information) when it comes to the latest intel about ABCs unprecedented interactive challenge (without getting lost in the clutter of the message boards). We are counting on you, the faithful Lost fans around the world, to keep us up to date with the latest clues via email. Happy clue hunting!

Avast, ye scurvy dogs! I'll trade all the gold(en oracle) Apollo bars I have in me hold for a meaningful conclusion to this ARG.
ARG!!!
(really is there a better acronym to use on Talk Like a Pirate Day than ARG?)
What is a pirate's favorite vegetable?
LOL...What are pirate's favorite socks?
do ye think any barrrrs will have rum specials?
arrrrrrgyle
ARRRRRgyle!
A BUCK AN EAR!
How does a pirate watch movies?
in the darrrrrrk?
On a V C ARRRRRRRRR
Ummm...I've been in and out today...have you guys seen THIS?
Lostfanatic,
Talk Like A Pirate Day (and Thanksgiving apparently) didn't really catch on until Dave Barry threw his full support behind it:
http://www.miami.com/mld/miamiherald/living/columnists/dave_barry/4018055.htm
what do you with a captain's daughter earli in the morning?
Hey David, Sorry I got a little caught up in the pirate thing and was being a little more creative than normal with the post. No worries!!
.
MAKOMK...
In the last post you mentioned "My site monitor's going wild..."
Are you using a diffeerent ARG monitor than the one at http://www.lowkeysoft.com/LostARG/monitor.php??
ARRRRR!! FYSB just read yer last comment on last post...LOL
mako: i don't recall seeing that one either. good catch!
Looks new to me...ARRR
arrr, reposting from last
Look what just washed ashore...a message in a dharma mayo jar! Wait, let me open it...
*unscrews jar lid, removes used apollo bar wrapper*
Hey, it's a note from Rachel!
"What a weekend I had! Suffice to say there were narrow escapes, sharks with lasers on their heads, evil megalomaniacs, bad hair, genetically altered jungle animals and you won't believe what else! I'd love to tell you all about it, but first I need you to do something for me.
Grab a sprite, head over to your Jeep dealer, persuade the sales manager to strip to his skivvies, sing a duet with him about pirates, juggle a dozen Apollo bars, tattoo RB4EVR on your right rump, sponsor a sri lankan child's vaccinations via Sally Struthers website, create a 2 story replica of a nanite out of Joop droppings and oh yeah, capture the whole thing on your Verizon phone.
Trust me, it's important. I'll explain later.
then go to www.wheredidthearggo.com and post your video.
once 42,815 post their complete videos, i'll send out another mayonaise jar. Thanks!"
Wow, she sure gets a lot of info on one little wrapper. Oddly enough, her handwriting is in ALL CAPS.
*hurries off to jeep dealer*
AAARRRGGGHHHHHHH
The timbers be shivering with laughter at that one Fastenyourcrowsneststrap.
Let the non-pirates rue the day they messed with Frachel the Dame of the Sea.
C-ya and Arrggghhhh again
ROT looks new to me too! Manny activity, now a new ROT...fire up the AIM's folks.
FYSB - Totally hysterical!!! Your posts are always entertaining, more so than the game at the moment!
Lovin' the ROT update! TPTB, very sneaky. Great catch MAKOMK.
My prediction...THF is gonna come out swinging by the end of the week and we will see the return of their website.
Anybody think the ROT boys are gonna get whacked?
(can we have Talk Like A Soprano day next?)
Frontpage updated thanks to makomk! :)
Are the ROT folks in NYC? Could iobi have been spotted by "Ironman" Malik? Wouldn't she recognize him? How would he recognize her? Just a speculation.
Well, FAR is in caps on the new thread...Don't know what this could mean.
TPTB are just trying to tell us that they watch our comments. Just a way for them to clarify things with the whole DJDan fiasco...
steinbeck worked for me
Steinbeck still works for me
admin, if THF execs used to walk around in their officed perhaps they just figured out who each one of them are? perhaps they managed to figure it out and see which users were who in the offices? im not sure how malik would do it?
Info on Rockwell (Musician) from Wikipedia:
Rockwell was the stage name of Kenneth William Gordy (born Kennedy William Gordy on March 15, 1964), who was an African-American R&B performer for the Motown label. He was born in Detroit, Michigan.
Rockwell is the son of Motown founder and CEO Berry Gordy. To avoid charges of nepotism, Rockwell secured his record deal without his father's knowledge.
In 1984, Rockwell released his only hit single, "Somebody's Watching Me", featuring childhood friends Michael and Jermaine Jackson on guest vocals (notably in the chorus lyrics). "Somebody's Watching Me" was a Top Ten pop hit in the US and a #1 R&B hit. Follow-up singles underperformed, however, and Rockwell soon ended his musical career with Motown.
A remix of "Somebody's Watching Me", by the dance act Beatfreakz, was released in the UK on 1 March 2006, peaking at No. 3. A cover version of the song was also released by the band Warmen.

Hanso people were in the ROT offices:
The way things stand now with HANSO folks lurking around our offices, how can you be sure you are not developing programs for the talking monkey people?
Mittelwerk just walked by my desk.
So, someone from Hanso might recognize her, but they wouldn't know her as her ROT alias. Unless BroadBankBeatnik has sold them down the river...
Ironman worked in IT for Hanso, so it's reasonable to say he was one of those people touring the office and might have recognized her, but she would have know him from the RB videos.
crap, now i can't get that "somebody's watchin me" song out of my head. with michael and jermaine jackson vocals and everything.
who's watching you?
hmm perhaps something big today/2moro if they are meeting today then?
yeah i cant get the Beatfreakz versionout of my head now or the video with a midget dressed up as MJ doing the thriller dance
perhaps rockwell is just a shoutout to the whole topic?
as somebody was watching iobi lol i wonder if thats his ringtone on his chocolate verizon mobile
hmm weird
good catch. my personal opinion is it is an intern typo, but good catch!
Walk The Plank INTERN!!!!!!
DJ Lena update!
If you would like to be part of her parody the DJ Lena website you can email some of your goofy pictures to her at LenaW70@yahoo.com
HAHAHAHAHAHA
I typoed the ROT site http://retreiversoftruth.com/ GO LOOK AT IT! ROFLMAO!
Hi guys and gals,
Yes, the ROT update is definitely new. I checked the site this morning when most of you's were still in snoozyland and the new post was not there.
This comment has been removed by a blog administrator.
dang, that link didnt work did it.
DJ LENA there, that should work now.
Just got back from the pediatricians office and all caught up on the comments...are we not talking like pirates anymore? We have to cause I just found out my cool pirate name....Bloody Mary Kidd.
Ok I guess I'll go check the ROT so I'm on the same page...arrrgh.
BTW- I saw that WifeSwap epi last night. While creating talk like a pirate day may be cool....living like a pirate 24/7 and raising your kids like pirates = uncool. It was really weird. Made the OCD mom preoccupied with appearances look "normal".
Soooooo what are we supposed to do with the ROT conversation.....does it mean something or take us anywhere, or was it just another narrative dried up hollow old bone with no marrow that TPTB threw to us to let us gnaw on until DJ Dan day? :-p
AAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAARRRRRRRRRRRRRRR!!!
Sorry about that. I had to get it out of my system, plus I'm freakin bored...
Ok, since maybe we're in the mood to take things too far....because of the latest ROT update (and because I'm bored), I went to broadband stories/Urballoon and in the New York Screenings there was an entry that said Oviedo and at the bottom of the picture it said Helios. So....I googled Helios (sometimes spelled Helius) and came up with some greek mythology that ties in names like Apollo, Persephone, Hyperion, Oceanus, and even the Colussus of Rhodes.

I think the ROT post was Foreshadowing...establishing a little tension for those of us with candy bars and pictures on the web. There's gonna be a showdown between the powers of good and evil.
So far, Rachel's been doing all the talking. I think their analogy about a wounded animal fighting back means that TWM is going to strike back at Rachel and all of us.
Or a dried up old bone could work too.
Fastenyourseatbelts said... I think the ROT post was Foreshadowing...establishing a little tension for those of us with candy bars and pictures on the web. There's gonna be a showdown between the powers of good and evil.
The only problem I have with that theory, is the date of the ROT post is 9/13, which was BEFORE WIA.COM went to 100%. I think it WAS a hint to somthing that has ALREADY happened.
Some intern just forgot to put it up. I guess better late than never -- at least we got SOMETHING today....
AAAAARRRRRRR!!!
Interesting, Codysmom, thanks.
I think that the ARG is the actual virus that has infected us mentally. Now we look for hidden meanings in everything we see, google where it comes from, decipher what it means, and basically rip it to shreds until we know everything there is to know about the topic.
This game was definitely meant for enquiring minds! :-)
Ahoy Maties!
If anyone missed the Lost Survival Guide that was on the TV Guide channel, I found a BitTorrent of it here: http://www.mininova.org/tor/427181
SPOILER
Just to bumm you out some more :)
The season 2 DVD set revealed that the Swan bunker beeping sound was actually sampled originally from a store bar code scanner. You know, the ones where the clerk passes an item across, and when the scanner picks up the item info, it "beeps"? Well, thats the sound we hear on Lost when the count down timer in the Swan bunker reaches 4 minutes.
I find it ironic , with the comercial tie ins of the ARG; Verizon, Jeep, Sprite, etc, that a key sound we have been listening to for a whole season 2 of Lost is the sound you hear when you part with your money.
Sorry for the downer.......I was pizzed, untill I saw the humor, then I laughed till I peed me pants (wink)
If my brain is infected with the virus, it isn't because of Apollo candy (still waiting to hear on that)LOL
If THF is going to go after those who have "exposed their true faces" on WIA, a lot of people's kids and pets are in big trouble!

Ha!
Ah well, you can't save everyone.
jatrow forget that site it's fake
Ahoy! Me pirate name be Bloody Charity Bonny! Me like the "bloody" part. Looks like me be a fighter, ARRR! Time to cut some throats!
Poor, poor pets. Well, guess your right, FYSB, we can't save everyone, so it's no big deal is 30% of the world population dies. LOL.
io(o)biSeeingYou little adventure was thrilling, okay. But again it didn't provide any answers...Should we look further?
Maybe...juuuuust maybe, we're missing something? Huh...Nahh.
So we get a little tidbit thrown our way via ROT? Don't know why it's dated 9/13 and they wait 6 days to post it, though. Guess those of us on WIA should be looking over our shoulder now for stalkers (except I can't see anyone...my parrot is in the way! Argh!)
Jatrow said...
Credit to team lena to finding the site first.
Maybe this will actually give us something to do this week.
While this is SOOO sweet of you to do, sadly picsel is correct. ITS A FAKE site.
Maven and all:
Maybe the date has some meaning? You know me, I dont dismiss ANYTHING unless its been proven a mistake.
OH yah, and AAARRGGGG or whatever...
Ahoy,me mateys.ARRRRRRRRG
Well, Happy talk like a pirate day to all!!!! ARRRRRR!!!! I will now change my name back after this post. It was fun (the pirate stuff, not the AAARRRRG) and I will see ya guys tomorrow.
I also think something is up with this date being so off...
Rich go to http://www.retrieversoftruth.com/ the where it says "your email address" type in "Steinbeck" That should do it...
BON VOYAGE MATIES!!!
Also, if you want your own pirate name go here:
Get yer pirate name here maties http://www.piratequiz.com/ Thanks to Melissa_Lossa for the quiz...
http://gangstaname.com/pirate_name.php not having to do with this heres a pirate name genorator. Just thought it mite b cewl 2 post.
Cam - That gave me "Fartin' Conroy Bonny"...I think I liked my other one "Black Sam Cash" LOL very funny though.
After last night's Wife Swap show where the whole psycho family acted like pirates, I dont think it so funny anymore. They ruined the whole thing for me, I dont even watch that show, I only saw it while switching channels, it was pretty creepy. The obese unattractive mother called herself a pirate princess, not what I'd call her that's for sure, double ewww.
Anyway I dont know what to make of this ROT post, not much on detail of the stalker except he was trying to act casual, what does that mean?
is this the first time we have a positive gender ID on an RoT'er.... BroadbandBeatnik allued to male genitalia but IOBI is now def female... is she Rachel? Top 107... woo hoo
Arrrrr, dry bones is all we gets again today, no genuine booty! :-(
Jatrow, I dont see a swan pic on ROT, where is it?
Iobi has always been the only female of the bunch.
Aye- rest assured Capcom, if TPTB don't hand over the gold before long, there'll be plenty of pillagin' and plunderin' to satisfy ya. Then we'll make them walk the plank startin' with that scrawny Rachel wench.
Ok pirate talk is getting way to easy for me. scary.
Too true Scoutpost. And I think that I am in love with Davy Jones from TPotC-2 movie! There was just something compelling about him. Or maybe it was just the CGI. :-) Or maybe I'm just old and crusty too, arrrr!
My VERY LATE results to pirate name:
Captain Bess Kidd
Even though there's no legal rank on a pirate ship, everyone recognizes you're the one in charge. Even though you're not always the traditional swaggering gallant, your steadiness and planning make you a fine, reliable pirate. Arr!
ROFLMAO!
Just a fly by plug...

I missed all the stupid pirate jokes! I love stupid jokes! If anybody can come up with a Lost stupid pirate joke, I'd give it the top post on the lostyourhumor blog!
All right. Hope there's some action tomorrow. Here's my contribution to TLAP Day, http://www.piratejokes.net/ and one joke.
Why did the pirate's pants keep falling down?
Because he was wearing his buckles on shoes!
Man, talk like a pirate day is the best thing to happen to the ARG this week! Night all!

Morning All
Had a look at DJ Dan at Hanso Exposed, couldn't see anything on Hanso Exposed.
I found a link on www.DJDan.am before the homepage.html loads up. The following link:
http://www.thehansofoundation.org/swf/extra/spies/
was hidden under the fourth picture from the left (the radio tower) however this might be old as the link is dead.
Oh and the relevence of the 13th September - well that's easy, it was my birthday, thought everyone new that! :P
Hi iceflame777 - nice find but unfortunately it's fan made - using movie maker by the look of the effects.
Hi Goingdark,
Very slow in the ARG, very slow at work.....
Yawn.....
Maybe RB has died through lack of action
I may be just saying things now because my brain is like oatmeal, right now, but here you go. Reading material for you all. Enjoy.
Random thoughts from the "Rachel Blake's Refugees" forum (http://www.chatzy.com/672498987564):
Chucklez3: wouldn't it be funny if rachel ended up being one of the "others" or whatever working in the facilities on the island, in the show?
Chucklez3: hahaha
Chucklez3: or mittelwerk
Bigdaddy_jkimes: maybe she is the one that helps them get off the island...then tries to blow lid off of THF
Bigdaddy_jkimes: lol
Chucklez3: that's what i was thinking, bd
Chucklez3: that rachel discovers what they're really doing
Chucklez3: hmmm
Chucklez3: remember...........liddy wales?
Chucklez3: never saw her pic
Bigdaddy_jkimes: whos pic?
Chucklez3: liddy wales
Chucklez3: board of directors page
Bigdaddy_jkimes: oh i never seen those either...thought those where "fake"
Chucklez3: now listen to this........what if SHE found out something too
Chucklez3: and they made her eat apollo bars (or whatever)
Chucklez3: and she went nuts and is now one of the others!!
Chucklez3: basically, they drove her "mad" intentionally because she knew too much
Chucklez3: and "dropped" her on the island
Chucklez3: hmmm
Chucklez3: WAIT!!! what if............Liddy IS Rachel??????
Chucklez3: i mean, wouldn't it make sense that a relative of Alvar's would be on the board?
Chucklez3: plus...........funny how "liddy" just went missing and we have no evidence of how she "looks" (her appearance)
Chucklez3: hmmmmm.........
Chucklez3 from x.x.x.194 changed name to Conspiracy Brother
Conspiracy Brother: anyone?
Conspiracy Brother: who's with me?
Conspiracy Brother: eh? eh??
Conspiracy Brother: *points finger*
Conspiracy Brother: YOU......on the third row
Bigdaddy_jkimes: hmmm
Bigdaddy_jkimes: good idea
Conspiracy Brother: you think?
Conspiracy Brother: i don't know man
Conspiracy Brother: hahaha
Bigdaddy_jkimes: anythings possible.....
Conspiracy Brother: exactly
Conspiracy Brother: it's possible.
Conspiracy Brother: even plausible
Cool, Now I like the theory that Rachel Blake is Liddy, Alvar's grand/daughter.
2Sweet2bSour - iobi is a new service from Verizon but I don't know what it means or stands for - to quote their site:
Verizon iobi is a breakthrough service that gives you simple, seamless
access to and control of your communications from any location.It connects multiple devices, such as your PC, laptop, and phone, so that
you can do all this from one place:
Access Caller ID and Voice Mail
Route incoming calls to Voice Mail or another number in real time
Schedule Call Forwarding in advance
Send Email and Text Messages
View and update an Address Book and Calendar
And more
And that's just the beginning.If you're an iobi customer, or want more information about our current
products, select one of the links below.
Although Verizon are TLE sponsors I din't think it's in game
it's also an infection!!!
http://tmcr.usuhs.mil/tmcr/chapter6/clinical46.htm
look toward the bottom. third picture FROM the bottom (of the KNEE). image 6.60.
enjoy
but wait. what YOU just posted is IOBI.
IOBOI (the misspelled one in the ROT message) is an infection.

Promo Group pic for 3rd season. Blow it up about 6 times, and look at EACH lostie's direct connection to the island sand. Do you see anything abnormal?
okay.............WHAT??
do you mean that everyone is barefoot except Fenry?
The things that stick out in my mind from that season three cast photo are that Henry Gale seems to be wearing only one shoe and charlie's shirt says Hypnotic Animal Magntism, Bloodless Surgury, Strange Electric Trance, Illusion and Mesmerise.
Hmmm... very interesting!!!
Yes I've seen this shot before - They have clearly shot each actor seperately and then photshopped them (badly together)
The lighting for Fenrey and Desmond is incosistent with the background and different from those used on the others.
Furthermore Kate and Hurley seem to have mutant feet. Although I suspect that it is part of her sandles it appears that kate has toes growing from the side of her feet and I don't know what an earth is going on with Hurley's feet.
I have the following conclusions:
1. They need to retrain the art dept.
2. Desmond and Fenry were late additions to the picture.
Also Claire and Sun have both beea airbrushed - look at Claires calves - definite bit or airbrushed shadow there!
ah, man, dark angel...after reading your post i went back and looked at the photo. i should have restrained myself, cuz, gee whiz, mutant hurley feet are just too weird and yucky for this time of the morning.
*shudders*
Good Morning Everyone!
Happy Talk Like A Land Lubber Day!
LOL to the Speaker & Ninja giving pirate day shout outs.
Here's hoping for new clues today. Cheerio!
Rachel's messages, especially on WIA, are getting to be very funny to me if you think of it in terms of actually communication (which it's not). What I mean is that the way she words things, it sounds like she(TPTB)is totally out of touch with the reality of her followers/players (us) in the game, but she just keeps on her merry way.
It's sort of like (w/ her notes paraphrased):
Us: "Rachel there are still too many questions left open in the Sri Lanka video."
RB: "Great work guys, now you know everything you need to know to shut them down!"
Us: But RB, we need to hear from you."
RB: "Thanks for keeping up with me and listening to me!"
Us:"RB, you are boring us to death, do something."
RB: "You guys are awesome for being so active in the fight and following my every step, HOORAH!"
Us: "zzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzz"
RB: "Your dedication to my quest is awesome guys!"
Us: ** Crickets chirping because there is no longer anyone watching/playing the game**
RB: "Way to go guys. You've done it. You've been with me till the very end. Now you get your reward of a podcast sometime in the distant future!"
Sheesh. I assume that TPTB have a script that was already written up for the game. But being a total noob to ARGs, are ARG plans/designs totally static once they start or can they ever change, at any point into the game, if necessity dictates a different track or change is needed? I.E., could TPTB (if they read/hear our complaints/suggestions) make Rachel's emails/messages more connected to what is actually happening with the players (and maybe possibly actually answer our questions!)or must they stick to what they planned even if it turns out to be somewhat less than effective?
Well, if ANYONE understood what I just said, congrats. :-) I realize that it's a bit muddled the way I asked it. THX
Aargh - I feel a bit o'pirate comining on.....
Sorry (Self restraint engaged) - must behave new BIG boss in the office this afternoon.....
Anyway If Rachel is Joops bad twin is she 105, and if she is is Alvar say 135 and is actually Magnus Hanso, a bit Like Conner McCloud he just chages his name every so often.
Good points Capcom,
maybe we should all defect to Hanso on mass.
Good morning! As far as the picture, Locke is the only one who looks happy and Desmond's head doesn't match his neck. And....isn't it Joop's birthday tomorrow? He'd be 106!

*********** SPOILER ALERT ***************
If you go that link, then go up one level to the "Lost Seaso 3 Promo Pics", there are pictures from the first episode of season 3 - A Tale Of Two Cities.
One of the photos has a book shelf filled with some interesting books.
*********** SPOILER ALERT ***************
Mandrake Wig's birthday is September 25th...just saying.
Speaker's site was updated today too, and says to keep an eye on Brian's myspace, at the bottom of the profile.
Dennis: Love the Harry Potter book on the bookshelf. Too funny.
wv: uhrhp - excuse me.
**********Spoiler**************
You mean intersting books like "Dark Horse"!
************Spoiler End***********
Capcom...loved the comparison between our statements and Rachel's responses! Too true. TPTB have had Rachel respond to us in the past via her stophanso page...ie, when we were translating Korean and when she was "mysteriously" hacked. So it's not outside the realm of possibility, but it hasn't happened in a long while.
And wow, Kate DOES have some serious man hands. Yikes.
**********Spoiler**************
And what is he doing for Parkers Astrology? - It is what Astologists use to work out there charts etc!
************Spoiler End***********
I beleive that we are going to get this video of Mittelwerk tied to a chair and RB will be standing next to him and will explain the whole thing, then remove his Mittelwerk mask and it will be Mr. Beardy...and he will say "and I would have gotten away with it if it had not been for you meddeling kids and your internets!" At this point Phyliss Diller, The Globtrotters, Batman and Robin, Tim Conway, Don Knotts and a bunch of other celebrity cameo's that we missed and they will sing a song and dance and there will be Pie. Mmmm...I like Pie! Oh, and Scooby will pop out of the Joop suit.
Zoinks!
I love it Thrasher!
Thrasher shouldn't that last post be maked spoiler ;)
**********Spoiler**************
Some stange books for a doctor's office.
The one that puzzles me is the "Book of the Year - 1976". It can't be his High Scool Year book - that would make him too old, about 48. I guess it could be the year he was born, which would make him 28 in 2004, which seems too young.
************Spoiler End***********
I think you are correct, right from the start we have seen scenes of duality - black and white together with themes of redemption. Hurley, Michael and Walt, Jin and Sun.
It seems to suggest that whilst there is a distinction between good and bad, we have free will and we can redeem ourselves. It is our choice what actions we take.
**********Spoiler**************
I think that the books were probably just taken from a props store and in the actual footage they will not be in focus long enough for them to be seen. The props person just got what Medical books they had and filled the rest with anything that looked right.
Be good to find a link though - TPTB have said the others live somewhere we will never expect. maybe the Harry Potter book is a clue. Hogwarts is actually on the Island - hence no Muggle can ever find it. The others are actually the staff of Hogwarts and the Smoke Monster is Peeves!
************Spoiler End***********
Kylelane, I disagree that all the Losties can be pegged as bad people (even the Others think that some are good). Hurley is a nice guy; Claire hasn't ever hurt anyone, that we know of; Rose is a great person (although kinda crabby to her hubby at times in that one ep); Locke was just very confused in the beginning, and gosh, he gave away a kidney!
But I agree with everything else you said. :-)
But Kate, Sawyer, Anna-Lucia, Eko and Michael have all killed people in cold blood. Sayid was a torturer, Charlie used people and stole from them and don't forget Jin was hired muscle.
Regardless of their motivation most people / societies would consider those pretty bad acts.
GOOD MORNING TLEC!!!
Cool Saeson 3 pics, Can't wait. So HE.co and DJdan sites show being updated and still nothing...Well, I actually hope this game does end with the podcast...It's just so boring that I need to stop wasting my time with this already. It was fun, but an ending would be nice if they are going to play us like this...Well, lets see what happens today...
THANKS DENNIS FOR STARTING "TALK LIKE A PIRATE DAY" IN HERE YESTERDAY!!!
So... anyone going to SF tonight for the Accura/Apollo event? I'll be there with my 23 yr old daughter. It is sort of anti-climatic at this point, but she and I have talked about going since we found out about the SF location. It is always fun to go to the City and will be a mini vacation for me.
As for the Season 3 promo pic:
1. Desmond's head was definitely photoshopped onto that body! No one's neck is that long in real life!
2. Locke's head looks too small for his body.
I agree with you that the Losties are Lost, we know / understand the motivations for their past errors. I think though they they have been bad in the past, regardless of how badly they have been treated in the past it is their decision whether they kill someone or not.
Most of our Losties have commited criminal acts and they have now been given a chance to redeem themselves. It is down to them whether to choose the light or dark.
Personally I am not a great believer in the idea of good and evil as absaloute concepts but I think in the show we are shown these characters who have either majorly screwed up or in the case of Jack, Claire, Hurley and Locke think that they have screwed up and have a massive load of guilt.
They now all have a chance to redeem themselves and prove they are good. The others of course can only judge them by what they know of the past and by their actions (killing others!)

Thanks for playing RyaNDrumZ!
good times. good times.
wtkFleet35 is on AIM with the following away message: "I¹m on my way out the door. Tell Rachel¹s friends that soon they will know
why I did what I did. I have to go. Gonna take care of of some unfinished business." Could we possibly be finding out what that myterious folder (F:\admin\my_docs\missing_organs.zip) on LYCGY means?

What do you guys think?
Maybe today we can do "Talk Like Rachel Day". It would go something like this....
HI EVERYONE. KATE HAS MAN HANDS. I THINK SAWYER IS HOT. I HAVE SOMETHING TO TELL YOU. BE BACK SOON. TRUST ME.
Guys, this game cant't end with Dj Dan's podcast! There are too many loose ties right now: What's Mittelwerk really up to? Why did he need to replace all his blood? What has he been doing in the last two months? Where's Alvar? Who's Rachel? What happened to her mother? Is Joop really important or just a bloody Hanso mascot? What happened to Magnus Hanso? What's up with all that "missing organs" stuff? What's the purpose of the hieroglyphs? Is Valenzetti really dead? If not, where the hell is he?
Did I miss something?
Morning all: I really don't want to believe that this journey will end with the podcast. There are way too many unanswered question (many of them stated by Lost in the above comment.) They can't possibly wrap up everything in a podcast. Talk about exposition! LOL Then again, maybe TPTB went overbudget and THEIR powers that be said "enough is enough"! LOL
Admin: Hopefully, this WILL mean something. That's definitely another loose end.
Lost-I think you are right. There are a lot of things we still need to find out, but we won't find out till S3. Remember, this info and this game will be merging somehow (Gary Troup Angle) on the show Lost. That's when all this stuff will make much more sense. There is just way to much we don't know to be able to know within 2 weeks...
Hey admin...I don't know too much about how AIM works. Does this mean that wtk just recently put that message up or could it have been there a while?
Very exciting.
lost,
I think people are beginning to realize that, much like the show, we are going to be left with more questions than answers. This isn't necessarily a bad thing because they are all questions that we did not even know to be asking before TLE started. We now have a long list of things to be looking for when we watch the show and go about our mystery solving that people not involved in TLE have no clue about. The knowledge we have (or at least know to be looking for) we play heavily into the development of the mythology of the island.
I would not be surpised in TLE ended abruptly with lots of loose ends.
I also think much of the "I would not mind if it ended with DJ Dan" chatter is reflective of a general apathy related to the game. People are becoming exhausted by the participatory nature of the game. Lots of investment with less than hoped for returns...basically, we're ready to sit on the couch and watch LOST frame by frame. :)
Tapdawg has you 3 besides me on the San Francisco RSVP for the event tonight....
NoIQ (Monte)
Tiredcynic (Stacey)
Randy +1-5
Any of you still going?
fasten,
I think the AIM thing is new this morning. Credit goes to Rick, Jet2theMax, and Tresbien for emailing me about it.
Maven,
I agree with you. I wouldn't mind if it ended with DJDan so we could shift focus to Season 3 but I would prefer it to continue and I THINK IT WILL. I have a feeling we're going to get a really wild ride to wrap this thing up. It'll be like the end of the fireworks show...boom, boom, boom everywhere. Lot's of variety, puzzles, clues, videos...Bring it on!
thanks admin. i like your vision of the end of the game. i can't help but think that we're gearing up for a big battle between TWM and Rachel. i truly believe that someone as ruthless as Ponytail, willing to slaughter so many people in the name of his cause, would never just walk away from it because a spunky little Nancy Drew put out a video.
i'm looking forward to some "spirited debate"!
The only problem I have with the link into season 3 is that TLE was also aimed at UK and Australian fans who won't be going straight into Season 3 and (officially at least) won't see it for a while. TPTB also said that you did not have to be familiar with Lost to play the game. to me that would suggest some conclusion that did not tie in directly with lost.
There is of course the possiblity that TLE will not end but will restart after the first 6 episodes of Season 3
I think that to a certain extent TLE is a big experiment. If sucessful it is a good way to advertise and keep a program afloat in a hiatus. The boundries between TV and the net are blurring more and more.
It is like the email that appeared in Doom 3. You had to go online to find a website to a code to then access some kit in game. Supposedly this is a test to see if players would visit a sponsors site in order to progress the game.
I would say TLE has been a successful trial and I imagine they will do more. It's a long process working out pace, difficulty etc.
Dark Angel, it's hard to beleive, but I think it was Tapdawg that had a press release saying that the general audience will be filled in about all this knowledge we gained playing this game, through the show Lost. When during the season? I'm not sure...Makes ya think that the only cool thing about this game and all the info we learned is that we found out about it first...But then when they start showing all this stuff in the S3 episodes, it will be kinda dry since we already know the stuff they are showing. Am I making sense??? Sorry, typing to fast...
You're making sense Ryandrumz :)
I imagine that Jack will be shown the orientation video and then given some filler info.
Ular98 Yeah I'll play again although I think the high was getting the telephone number off the first Hanso Ad in the UK , phoning the number and then racing to be the first to get a transcript on the web.
Well I hope some of the stuff we learned this summer will be valuable in understanding what is happening on the show. Kind of would make all this worthwhile and productive! LOL
Just tried emailing DJ Dan with questions for his podcast, and the mail bounced back. Has anyone else tried to write to him recently and, if so, did it go through? Thanks.
To be honest without sounding really cheesy it was worth it to meet all you guys.
I've been online since the late '80's and used to spend a lot of time on mailing list and Usenet groups but nothing compared to TLEC and strangely enough in 18 or so years online TLEC is the first time I have really chatted in real time.
Whatever happens we know have the TLC going forward
I'm with you ular98! I've invested so much time and effort into this...gotta see how it ends! Of course, the plus side is I've learned so much this summer about the computor and, mostly, I've loved meeting this community!
Very true ular98, That's why I'm still here. Gotta finish the game, and yes, I would play again as well. Also, I think next time they do this, it will be more put together since TPTB are getting so much feedback from us...
i would definitely play again. its been great "meeting" all of you and certainly next years crop of interns can't be as bad as this years!
I would play again in a heart beat. And it would be cool in between the first run of eps and the second set...
and i am excited about the TLC starting up, someplace to go unload and discuss after every episode!
I'd play again, though perhaps not with the same intensity as I started with this year. This board has been the best part, I love exchanging thoughts/ideas/pirate names with people from all over.
ryandrumz, i don't know if you meant it to be tongue in cheek, but i thought your use of the word "feedback" was both diplomatic and funny.
Well Guys, time for me to head off home again. Maybe catch you later tonight....
Namaste
DA
Good morning everybody- just got all caught up. I would play this again, because even though the game slowed down too much, the theorizing and community part has been great. I would hope that if they do it again that they would learn from their mistakes and so maybe the next ARG would flow better.
Admin- I'm always encouraged by your unswerving optimism toward this game. I hope you're right about how this will end.
Regarding "good" and "bad" there is definitely the good vs. evil/black vs. white themes in the show, and the Losties are truly lost and trying to redeem themselves. But I still think that when the Others use the terms "good" and "bad" that they are using some qualification other than moral and/or ethical behavior to label the Losties. JMO
I will definately play again given the chance! And I also can't wait to start up with TLC when the new season starts - it'll be so nice to have a cool place to talk to people about each episode.
*****spoiler******
Looking at that photo of the books, I'm struck by how many are detective/adventure novels. I wouldn't have pegged Jack for the type. As far as the Book of the Year 1976 goes, I searched on Amazon, and the first title that came up was a Britannica Book, so it could just be an annual reference - although why he would keep one from 30 years ago is beyond me. Maybe it was a good year for research?
Also interesting, I searched for the book Fire in the Mind, which appears on the top shelf, and the full title is Fire in the Mind: Science, Faith and the Search for Order. I doubt that's by chance! Actually, I doubt any of these titles are by chance - we should know by know that when things like this appear in Lost, it's for a reason. Some of the book titles that have been used even appear in the Hatch jigsaw puzzle.
****spoiler****
LOL! Looks like one of the books is called "Coping with Job Loss." Maybe Jack bought that for dear old dad?
Despite some frustrations with this game, I definitely will be back if TPTB deem to continue. This summer I got such a better understanding of what is going on in the show...I think much more than those who didn't play the game and still are Lost-fanatics. You can't even explain what's going on in TLE to friends who just watch the show! LOL The pluses of this "experience" far outweigh the minuses. And this will give me a greater depth to appreciating the show.
Looking forward to a great S3 talking with all of you on The Lost Community blog and the chat rooms!
Question: Admin said there was an AIM message from "wtkfleet35"- who was this again? I recognize the name, but can't remember where we know this person from.
*******SPOILER- SEASON 2********
I was watching the S2 finale the other day and noticed the Other's camp when they were flashing back to when Michael was brought there. The people- the Others- were of several different ages. We've theorized that these people were possibly Dharma researchers who were left there or who rebelled, etc. But if they were the original Dharma scientists, then they would all be Henry's and Mr. Friendly's age. There were several people who looked to be 20-something or 30-something. Has anyone else noticed this? And if so, any idea as to who these younger people might be? Perhaps study subjects or scientists that came to the island later than the originals? If there are some 20-somethings that came to the island to work on the Dharma initiative, then perhaps the Dharma Initiative did not fail until recently? I don't know, theorizing is not my strongest suit- anyone got any interesting ideas?
****spoiler****
melissa_lossa...that's funny!
also noticed he had a copy of the bible next to one called "dirty work".
****spoiler****
scout: that's the guy from jeep who managed the compass fleet contract. he backed out when persephone told him something about organ harvesting.
oh yeah- thanks ox.
Scoutpost: I believe wtkfleet35 was William T. Kirpatrick (or Kilpatrick) who was the Jeep executive that cancelled the contract with THF. Rachel and wtkfleet35 had a chat about Rachel warning him re what THF did in Africa and promised to send him a file called "missing organs".
kylelane, dark angel, etc,
I'm loving the "good/bad" discussion you've got going on. I think it is definitely a key piece of the show's drama. I'm iffy on exactly how morality influences Valenzetti. It is an interesting consideration since "goodness" seems to be an important value to the Others. I personally think this is one of the most compelling parts of LOST. I believe in good and evil and I also believe that we all possess the capacity for and history of both good and evil in our individual lives. That's why I think the losties are "lost" in their lives...They need to believe that they are good but they can't shake the fact that evil significantly marks them in different ways. That is what hits close to home with me. I'm neither a good person or a bad person...I am both at once. How do you shake that evil? And if you can't shake it, how do you deal with it?
Simple plug...these are the questions we're asking in the discussions that have begun at storiesofthelost.com. It's undergone some significant changes to make it more "user friendly". If you haven't visited in awhile, check it out. My vision is that TLC will be a great playground for post-episode discussions (Did you notice? What did _____ mean? etc.) and that Stories of the Lost will be a great place for us to really do character analysis after each flashback and have more philosophical discussions about themes etc.
Speaking of vision...a podcast is in the works :) Finally.
scoutpost -
****S2 spoiler****
I think that there are several explanations for the younger folks among the Others:
1) They are the missing tailies, who are being forced to stay, or have chosen to stay
2) They are later research subjects
3) They are other castaways (like Alex)
4) They are the children of the original Dharmas - if they've been trapped on the island since the 80s, there's bound to be some island babies popping up :)
fasten -
****spoiler****
I think it's very interesting that Jack has a Bible, and a well-worn copy at that. He also has at least two books on astrology and what looks like a book called The Spirit of Christmas. Plus, the Stephen King book Hearts in Atlantis. Very interesting/diverse tastes. :)
I just stopped in from work for a moment and am rapidily reading posts, very good discussion today.
I have cropped and enlarged the most obvious (to me) weirdness in the Season 3 promo pic.

Hi All. Okay, gonna keep this brief:
1) I believe the WTK Aim account is genuine, because I don't think even TPTB would be so dumb as to create an AIM chat log for accounts they don't own. I mean we've all seen the trouble caused by people pretending to be in game personalities in some form or another, they have to have realised this and while maybe they aren't expected to cover all in-game names in all forms of acount (be it IM, blogger or whater) they should at least be able to handle the exact AIM account for which they have created a fake log.
2) Ownershep was also on today. Ange told me she logged on and then logged right off almost right away the other day. So to be sneaky I set up an auto-message to that account when it logged on. Which meant when I got back from work the window was open. The account has online for about a minute and the user didn't reply to my message. The time on that was 13:51 UK time.
3) Pressuming this is genuine. It's just another pointless bit of nothing that simply tells us something big is coming. Hopefully the something big won't this time be a message to tell us something even bigger is coming. Still I'm glad they haven't forgotten about the WTK angle. Maybe we will get something before the arg pressumably concludes live on DJ Dan (I'd like to hope there was going to be a killer Act 5 launched on DJ Dan but I fear this is it).
END OF LINE
Fenris keeping it brief, WOW.Just kidding bro, I love your posts.
Admin-Can't wait for the podcast!!!
Hey, fenris: Right as usual. We seem to be getting "something big is coming" from various angles! I believe they are trying their darnest to keep us interested as I'm sure they monitor these blogs/forums. This time they better come through and blow our minds away with DJ Dan's podcast!
Interesting Fenris! I think you may have given us additional validation that these guys are legit.
I like the fact that they're popping up and fading away, giving us a sense of activity, but teasing us with the potential. Kinda like seeing the Others through the trees...we know something is going on, but not what.
I hope we get a bombshell on Friday that puts us into a tailspin...like Mittlewerk denouncing Rachel, so we won't know who to trust come Sunday.
Hey, fysb! Right, we've been getting hints at things to come. Hopefully, THF is going to start fighting back and launch another publicity campaign. I'm dreading, though, that this "tease" might just be a ploy to keep us involved and interested. Hope not for our sanity! LOL
Greetings Maven! I'm going to try and keep my glass is half full attitude for a few more days and see what happens. Mittlewerk HAS to respond, doesn't he? He knows Rachel has a video of him talking about killing Sri Lankans, his goons chased her and possibly killed DeZylva. Not sure if ol'Ponytail is a comic fan, but Rachel stood up in front of a whole boatload of people (and in an interview with EW) and sent them to hansoexposed.
So we have to assume that HE knows that WE know what he is up to.
Soooo....he has to discredit Rachel (killing her won't help since the video is already out).
Where do we all get the idea that the game is going to be over after DJDAN? I'm convinced the game will a least go until the end of October. I think the date on the Apollo bars is a clue to when this game is over.
Also there is an easy answer as to why it's been so quiet around here? Act three was the glyph hunt, everyday we were searching the internet for glyphs. But Act four is the Appollo Bar distribution. Act four is still going on and will continue til the end of the weel. There are still hundreds of players out collecting their appollo bars. That's what this phase of the game is all about.
DJ Dan has to be the beginning of ACT 5. Which I'm convinced will be a full month long wrap-up.
I don't think we should fret yet or assume that just because the show is preimering in the US that the game will be over. Hopefully we'll have four weeks of Hanso commercials, and other goodies that can only begin to commence when Lost premiere's with a clip show on September 27th (new epidsodes on the 4th.) DJ DAN's new podcast is only the beginning!!
WORD!!!!!
Passafist,
I agree with most of what you said. I originally thought the game would end on October 4th when season 3 starts here in the US. However, there seems to be too much to wrap up in only a week and a half -- let alone in a two hour broadcast.
If the game was ending that quick, there would be no way TPTB would be able to take this week off and do essentialy nothing.
Today is the last Apollo giveaway, so hopefully the Apollo Candy phase is over, and the interns will be free to create some new content for us.
Howdy all,
Been on the road doing a project for the last week. Looks like I didn't miss much.
I would have agree to that there is no way the game will be wrapped up by the S3 start date.
The turn the game has taken since the frags were found has been incredibly lame and not well thought out. I'm not sure what to expect at this point, but I have to say it isn't much after the huge fall off. Not sure what TBTP were thinking but a two week layoff while waiting for a podcast is quite boring.
Anyway, good to see you all. Going back to lurking for a while so I can get some work done.
Hello everyone, I'm finally back. the surgery was a piece of cake. I'm pretty bruised up but none the worse for wear. Thanks for all your good wishes the other day; it meant a lot to me.
I have to point out, when has DJ Dan's podcast ever been truly meaningful? we have no reason to believe that Rachel will get a word in edgewise. DJ Dan's rumblings have never given us any truly useful information; I don't expect this weekend's to be any different despite what RB has said.
I was hoping for more clues or facts to tie up the loose ends and I don't see how TPTB will get this all covered by the opening of S3. So I think the game will have to go into next month and maybe beyond. It would be great to see some of the ideas and concepts we've developed on this blog in some of the S3 episodes.
Yeah Fenris, more messages about upcomming messages. :-)
Welcome back TLCM! Your good news is great.
Is anyone checking that Brian's myspace like Speaker told us to today? I'm myspace-ignorant, so I wouldn't notice anything wierd probably.
tclm: Wow! May you have a quick recovery!
Admin: Great to hear about the podcast! And whenever I get online, it's gotten so I check storiesofthelost (SOTL) before I even check TLEC!

I just checked it and didn't see anything.
It would either be something in one of the blog entries (which he doesn't have any), or in the Pics / Videos sections.
I'm guessing all we will get is some more Speaker-doodles...
Guys, just found this ABC press release:
»The Lost Experience Coming to a Close
Source: ABC September 20, 2006
The multiplatform interactive phenomenon "The Lost Experience" will come to a climactic close on September 24 (8:00 p.m., PT, 5:00 p.m., ET), with a live worldwide radio internet broadcast hosted by the renegade DJ Dan. The broadcast will also feature a special in-studio guest and announce a link for the final video clue revealing the truth behind the actions of the Hanso Foundation. DJ Dans previous broadcast gave clues leading to the Sri Lanka video, which unveiled the meaning behind the numbers 4 8 15 16 23 42. To listen to the broadcast, go to ABC.com.
"The Lost Experience" is a revolutionary interactive marketing endeavor based on the international hit television series, "Lost," designed to further enhance viewers relationship with the program. "The Lost Experience" incorporates over twenty broadcasters from five continents, making it the largest global interactive challenge based on a television series. This experience follows a parallel storyline not featured in the television broadcast, and the challenge is specifically designed in a manner that is not dependent on information specific to either Season One or Season Two, allowing for the participation of those who have not yet seen either season of Lost. "The Lost Experience" provides insight to unlock some of the islands secrets for those savvy enough to collect the clues, make the connections and find the answers.
The third season of "Lost" starts on October 4 at 9/8c. «
Sorry if this is old stuff, but I couldn't find it here
there's a link to the final DJ Dan broadcast on the http://abc.go.com/ ABC main page it goes to harvestfilms.com

Well I guess that answers that question. Have to say I'm a little bummed by this news.
holy crap, they really are gonna end it on the 24th aren't they?
that broadcast be un-friggin-believable! not just dj dan asking rb what she's wearing in spanish.
Yeah, that was me being brief. :) Perhaps only compared to my usual posts though. Lol.
Okay, looking for confirmation on the press release (anyone got/found a link) but if true I just want to say: I *so* Called that. Lol.
There is no Act 5. Well either that or the scattering of predictable text messages was Act 5. Really they have outdone themselves in trying to find something worse then Act 4. Really I am impressed.
It's quite an anti-climax really. They've given me just (barely) enough intrege to feel a need for more, but to be constantly disapointed with what they have delivered. I want some cool new puzzle or theories, but this isn't going to deliver it. I also want more of the Hanso Foundation, but not like this.
Still, DJ Dan will be fun. Although I will be wrecked for work the next day. I said all along it was my favorite part of the Arg so I'm not so disapointed they are ended with a podcast. I'm just disapointed there isn't the mythical "really good" act before the podcast.
You know that is so friggin' irritating...considering that they changed the time around so much. I mean if DJDan is the end of this whole thing we've been working on all summer- first it's on a major Jewish holiday- lame, then they schedule it for Friday morning rush hour- lame, now it's at a time when all of Europe will be asleep- lame. You'd think they'd care enough to make it at a time when everyone could experience the ending in real time...I mean I know that's hard, but the 8am PST was probably the best for everyone, why didn't they just figure some way of postponing it until the next Saturday? I guess they really don't have anything else for us until then, and waiting 2 weeks with nothing inbetween would have been unthinkable?! Still, how unfair that is for all you in the UK, AUS, NZ and elsewhere outside the US.
wv= ohpoomnz- oh poo man! is right
fenris: Here's the link: link
I agree Belly...
I know that it may be like the show and leave us with some questions while answering others, but there are a lot of unanswered questions. It's like they were all gung ho with this project and just fizzled out in their enthusiasm during the second half.
I'm just stunned. I was very disappointed with the end of whereisalvar, but this is unbelievable.
Maybe Act 4 and 5 will be after the first six episodes of season 3...
Like I said in a previous comment, they simply couldn't end it like this. There's too many unanswered questions right now and I doubt we will ever hear about Mittelwerk, Apollo, and Rachel in the show...
WTF!!! Well, this does suck, even though I said I wanted this to end because it's gotten so lame, but I didn't think it would REALLY happen...
What a bummer. All I have to say is that it's been fun and I enjoyed this summer a lot. You guys are awesome.
Hopefully we get some more stuff this week to tie up the loose ends...This is crazy!!!
Belly- JMHO but this kind of news could be worthy of a new thread. I have a feeling it will generate a lot of comments as people find out. And also, that way we could "warn" people on the front page that this will be the whole shebang so to speak so they won't miss it. I don't know...just a suggestion.
you know, i have a really bad feeling we get
dj dan: rachel, i have it good authority that you are actually....
to be continued next summer.
Wait... isn't 8PM PT actually 11PM ET???? This entire news release is a Hanso Foundation HOAX!!
screw you abc interns. i hope none of you get credit for your co-op's!
ox, i think i might prefer that to the quick rundown exposition we may end up with sunday night.
tptb, did ya just stop caring sometime in mid-july? just thought, aw, screw it, i'm tired of this, let's just end it with whatever we've got here?
I used to stick up for TPTB because of the sheer difficulty of coordinating a worldwide experience with video, flash, etc.
But now I realize that they can't even convert from Pacific to Eastern time zones without a lot of trouble.
I have to say, I am angry and insulted. We have spent a lot of time and effort on this. What a slap in the face to end on that weak whereisalvar "unite" note. Here's a quick run down by DJ Dan with surprise guest Rachel Blake? That's just b.s.
This comment has been removed by a blog administrator.
Complete shock! That is my current state on this game ending! I am thirlled yet saddend that this experience is going to end. But I will always be thrilled with the people and friendships I have made here at TLEC. I am looking forward to the finale' TLEC podcast! I have been super busy today and will hopefully comment more later on tomorrow.
Lost - Ta, and you could be right about the episode gap. They may want to fill it in with more details, especially if the first episode arc is to focus on the Others and there links to Dharma/Hanso. That would give them a chance to run some closure that covers the additional info gained from those episodes before moving onto the rest of the season and the probably different direction (though they've said they aren't going to just drop the Dharma stuff, but they won't focus on it so much this season).
It makes sense. But since when have TPTB done things logically. lol.
Still we can hope. That unanswered questions thread that Ange looks after on the message board looks set to stay rather bloated post-podcast. They can't possibly answer *all* of that.
fire. all. the. interns.
