The things that are going on over at LOSTARGs is making me sad to call myself a LOST fan. And the saddest part? It's the small, vocal minority that is ruining it for everyone. I am disgusted.

5, same here...

I also expressed the sentiment there last night. However, they (the core few) are far more positive about the whole things than I've expected.

And seeing them to remain positive in situation like this makes me proud to be a LOST fan.

Even though DCaaPB took a different approach this time for the reveal, the poster still sold out within the first few minutes.

Since my son woke us up around 3am, I decided to check it out then. I really like it, and if I hadn't already bought my other 2 posters, I would have tried for this one.

EDIT: It also looks like the Leia Bell poster in now sold out. Weather that's true, or just people putting it into their baskets to practice, we'll see.

I'd love to get a LOST poster, but I currently have 3 Van Gogh prints and several rock'n'roll related posters I have yet to frame. Now that I'm married, tacking posters to the wall with thumb tacks or sticky stuff is a no-no. Laughing

Well, i sure liked the new one and got lucky enough to secure one. My girlfriend and I had a nice early morning nerd fest, her on the laptop me on the desktop, at 4am following the boards and then frantically hitting F5...sure we don't really tear the world up with our actions but it was fun enough!

So with kidnapping i also have the Hatch and if the detail and subtlety that screenprints brought to the Hatch is any indication...Walt's Kidnapping should really be something.

That being said, I wonder if there are many of us on here looking for these prints. I know I've seen Spooky over at the Dark UFO ARG site, and sounds like 5 and justanothersky may be going over there as well?

Those sites are both great and they are very....dedicated....I just wonder if there are enough of us here following along and looking at getting a few more prints that we would want to update here regularly. Things on those boards seem to have gotten pretty heavy and I kinda worry that since I'm more a post once a week guy...that i'll get left out if they go quiet or exclusive or whatever when reveals happen...

anyways! sorry this is so long and kinda rambling! Basically i'm just wondering how many of us on 4815162342.com are playing along and buying prints!

By the way, just want to say something about getting the poster framed.

Upon seeing the 4-toed statue for the first time, even though I liked the interpretation & the composition, the print quality leaves something to be desired. I am well aware that's the inherent nature of the design itself, not printer's fault. Nevertheless, I didn't seriously think about having it professionally framed.

However, my attitude towards framing was changed drastically after seeing the Smoke Monster. The quality & the details, it's just simply mesmerizing. Now I am looking for suitable framing places to have both professionally framed.

I completely agree that the flippers have kind of ruined this whole ARG. I guess, as pathetic as it sounds, I wouldn't know how to get the URLs in time to actually buy a poster without a chat room or site telling me what it is.

I mean, if I can't find the right twitter account to follow (which i dunno how you could if these people weren't making it known they'd be there on certain sites) by the time the reveal happened and I jumped around trying to google the reveal w/ in the 30(?) mins. the url gets out and the posters sell out...I'd just be out of luck.

So, it's cool that the IDEA of this is for people to work together and it's still amazing that there have been lost fans in tokyo and Scotland all posting pics and sharing the URLs with the rest of us...I guess it's just sad that it's being ruined so people can make a few hundred dollars. And if the only way folks can ensure this stays within Lost fans is to only include certain verified trusted circles then so be it. I try to let the folks at these sites know i'm keeping mine...give them the order and print numbers and all that.

But like you said, if posting 50 times a day and knowing certain "in" people is the only way to get included then I'm with you--Real life has to take precedence and if that means I miss out the last posters then so be it!

It was pretty dern fun waking up with the girlfriend and frantically reading the boards and all that and it certainly makes me feel like i've "earned" my poster.

sheesh! that's a lot of talking! i'm minus sleep and jacked up on coffee so please forgive my stream of conscious typing!

Hey Guys!

I've been playing along, but honestly I've been hanging at DarkUFO this summer. Last summer it seemed that this forum was pretty active with the Dharma recruitment tests, etc, but for some reason when DCAAPB started, this forum seemed pretty dead...so I started looking around for signs of life on DarkUFO and I've been there ever since - just for the ARG. I also check out LostARGs here and there as that is a really active thread, too, but I just glance at the main page for updates, or stop into the chat room when posters are about to be revealed. BUT, I still come here to check out the general and theories forums at least once a week. This is the site where I started my Lost obsession, and gosh darnit, this is going to be the site where I complete the journey! Too bad that the ARG forum is quiet here, because it was a lot of fun here last summer. But it's nice to branch out to the other sites a little while still calling the numbers forum "home". Wink

Anyway, I STILL haven't purchased a poster. Though most of them are great posters, I don't love any of them enough to hang them in my place. But I'm keeping my eyes open. I did attend two of the LA events, and I have a bag from Ron Herman to show for it, so at the very least I have something to remember the experience. But hopefully before the end of this I'll fall in love with one of the posters AND will be able to snatch it up before it's sold out!
