How did you discover the Lost Media Wiki?

all i can say is
Just Blame it on Jorge

One day, I wanted to rewatch the 4kids dub of One Piece. I believe the official date was September 28th, 2015, as I remember the Hu-Man notice board being there the same day.

I've always been interested in all that is lost, and this wiki was perfect for me.

Now, I am desperately searching for anything on "Tooned in!", in the hopes to find this lost piece of Nickelodeon history.

TV Tropes. I'm probably more of a member in passing as my main lost media interests aren't really the same as the core of the community here.

I came upon the original wikia several years ago by way of ADWSS and Crackmaster, which I discovered while I was doing research for a story I was writing at the time. I write science fiction stories, largely for fun but also hoping to be published (or self-publish) some day, and I also write some Horror so I conceived of a story based on the idea of a creepypasta or urban legend. Titled Channel Zer0 which was based on the idea of a destroyed or lost cartoon and the effect it had on people, and decades later this group of teenagers researching urban legends receive a copy of it and things go bad from there. But to actually understand this, and to see if any possible bits of inspiration were out there, I looked up lost or destroyed cartoons in real life, and stumbled on the earlier wikia's articles about ADWSS and Cracks.

(ironic side note: Channel Zer0 is the name of a SyFy tv show now with the precise same plot...wow)

Anyway, I found the whole thing fascinating, and more so, incredibly creepy. The fact was that something identical to what I imagined, like Cracks, was real kinda blew my mind. So as I looked around the wikia I found stuff I had seen or possibly even had on VHS from the years when I used to record every show on TV for no discernible reason. Half of this stuff I didn't even know was lost or missing. That's when I found Yeah Yeah Beebiss I and I just became obsessed. The title, the bizarreness, the just mystery of it all. So I stuck around and I actually edited a few of the original wikia pages with information and left comments on the old site. I only joined here recently because I wanted to post some research I did on YYBI and also post non-anon comments in the comments section. So there you go.

I heard about the Lost Media Archive in passing while lurking various forums. The concept was interesting to me, but the standards of inclusion and overal quality were very low so I didn't pay much attention to it.

A few months after, I came accross the Lost Media Wiki while googling La planète de Donkey Kong/DKTV. The quality control and software was better so I joined the wiki at the end of 2016 and made a few contributions, as well as joining the Discord.

There I was, knees deep in the sand, helicopters swirling above-head, death surely coming to me if I didn't keep my eyes open... Wait... wrong origin story.

I read about the Chubbuck tape on TV tropes, googled it, found my way onto the wikia version, been here since 2013. Wrote articles for a year and a half before finally making The Lost Media Chronicles.

I got brought here by looking for a Madagascar old PC game that I never played saw once and never saw it again.
