3 days short of a year, but close enough. I just thought I should make some sort of commemorative blog, because TV.com WAS a great site, that I really enjoyed participating on.
It all started with me searching for a Lost forum, desperate to share my opinions and theories with other Lost fans. So I found this place, and I joined. I just searched around for a while, looking at news for upcoming episodes, and reading the interesting posts of users. Then I decided to start posting, and it all picked up from there. In no time, I was posting like crazy. Then a legend, and the first good person to get banned: was Rcatz. For posting a fake spoiler in a title "Sayid gets killed by smoke monster!" as a protest against other people doing it. He got banned,the ones he was protesting against,didn't. But "life" on here moved on. More and more cool users started joining and we had great discussions, though the best ones were always the threads that went majorly off-topic. Then that was all fine and good, but then Mr_Dutchiee fell. Subsequently, ackermaniv bit the dust. Disappointing, but, again, I moved on. Both of them got new accounts: The-Soup-Nazi and killer680. And there were still a ton of great users left. But after that, the bannings of the good users kept coming. Finally, ManOfScience118 and I got suspended, his turned into a permanent ban. Then I decided to leave.
But nevertheless, I had a great time up until the ban-happiness started, because of all of the great users that roamed here. I started blogging after a while, and that became a fun thing to do in compliment to the Lost forum, especially my caption contest.

Thanks for the memories. Like I said, the TV.com Lost forums were once a great place and I loved them.
And as you probably know by now, you can find me these days on www.furtherinstructions.com, which is a great site, and is lots of fun. About half of the people on that list have re-located there, as well.
It was one hell of a crazy year. Both on this site and in real life.
Take care,
