LOST-Theories.com

LOST-theories.com intends to do one thing, and do it really well. That one thing is organize theories and speculation about ABC’s hit TV show LOST.

This site was born out of frustration over the available online LOST resources. Most LOST sites are discussion forums, blogs, or wikis. While all of these types of sites have their place in the LOST universe, none of them are very appropriate places for storing theories.

When folks post theories on forums, blogs, and wikis, they are stored in an unstructured way. That is to say, as one big blob of text. In addition, forums, wikis, and blogs usually are covering much more than theories. The result of this is that finding what you’re looking for can be very difficult. Try finding theories on a forum that specifically deal with the location of the island. Try searching a wiki for highly creative and speculative theories that might seem “out there” to most of us. Try finding theories on a blog that are about a particular LOST character. It’s nearly impossible.

LOST-theories keeps track of people’s speculation in a structured manner that associates a given theory with characters, events, themes, locations, and even other theories. The result is a fun, cyclic browsing experience where you not only find what you were looking for, but also things that are similar or related to what you were looking for.

In addition to keep tracking of your theories and speculations, we also let you rate them, comment on them, edit them, and more. We’ve got more ideas up our sleeve, too — so if this site really takes off, you can bet we’ll be expanding it.

There are a lot of great sites out there tracking what happens in the show. Here at LOST-theories.com, we’re more interested in what hasn’t happened on the show. Think of it a bit like “fan fiction.” Given the existing LOST story that its creators, producers, and writers have given us, you decide where it will go next.

It should be a fun ride.
