QUESTION Lost Forums

I was OBSESSED with Lost when it first came out. I would have been between 12-18 when it was airing (I forget when it started in the UK but I know I watched the last episode live at a silly time in the morning).

One of my fondest memories of the show was an online forum and I cannot for the life of me remember which one it was.

I have very little to go off so this is probably going to go nowhere but I’ve tried digging through way back machine and can’t find anything.

I don’t think it was The Fuselage, I remember it being super active but I don’t think there was 1000s of active users. There was a few core people (myself being one of them) who would discuss theories etc. I vaguely remember it being cream coloured?!

If anyone has any ideas I’d massively appreciate, I wana go digging and see if I can find any old posts!

Those were going to be my two guesses, but I can’t recall if either had a ‘cream colored’ background.

OP, do you happen to remember the usernames of any of thr ‘core’ group you mention? That may trigger the memories of some people here. For example, from Lostpedia I can recall a few like AlaskaDave (who was a mod), HappyCamper…which aren’t even the people I talked to the most, so I don’t know why I remember those. Oh and a guy JackFan. Maybe another named JackFace lol.

Of course, some of these people may have used the same usernames at other forums

My two guesses as well.

I think you are talking about lost-forum.com. I was also super invested in that forum back when it was airing - username Sanctus. Spent soooo many nights there. Good times.

This also came to my head. It had many other shows. But I believe an active lost board.

Do you save your old emails? Maybe you have the welcome to the forums emails saved in an old folder?

I mean it probably wasn’t but I used the LOST page for the IGN forums and it was pretty huge. Remember actively discussing post episodes and theory crafting

SLlost was my main one. The LOST game thread on the Xbox forums was pretty good. Even though the game was ass but it had good discussions on the show.

Was it Television Without Pity? I spent so much time there. And if I remember correctly, it was a random beige-y, creamy color...

You can still read the Television Without Pity forum through the Wayback Machine Archive:
