Whhhat's up guys, I'm dycaite and today's notice board post is a very special one, because it marks the 5th anniversary of the Lost Media Wiki!
 
It's hard to believe it's already been 5 whole years, but it has, and the things we have done as a community in that time have been nothing short of incredible. I touched on this briefly in the previous notice board post, but now it's well and truly time for me to get all sappy:
 
Without the amazing community of kind, hard working people here, the site would not be where it is today, period. A site like this only has longevity if it has a dedicated community behind it, and I honestly think we have one of the best communities on the internet; that is perhaps the thing that I am most proud of, having been able to bring together such a fine group of people, many of whom I am now privileged to be able to call my friends, some even best friends. So, thank you, all of you, for making the LMW what it is today. From the bottom of my heart, your support means a great deal me.
 
I wanna give a special thanks to all the staff and collaborators, old and new (including our newest mod-to-admin promotee [http://lostmediawiki.com/User:SpooferJahk SpooferJahk], please make him welcome in his new role), whose tireless unpaid work not only helps keep the site looking great and having a steady flow of new content, but also helps keep me from going under when things get tough; I value each and every one of you more than I can say.
 
I also wanna give a special shout out to our Patreon supporters - 2017 has been a financially strenuous year for me, and you guys have helped ensure that the wiki has stayed online all year round, for which I am immensely grateful.
 
Thank you to all the Discord regulars, for giving me somewhere to fit in just about every single day and be able to talk comfortably and be myself without having to worry about doing something embarrassing, and to all the people who have sent messages of encouragement over the years.
 
Thank you to everyone who believed that we could make an independently hosted LMW a reality and who stuck by our side during the more turbulent times.
 
Last but not least I wanna thank those of you who have been there for me on an emotional level (you guys know who you are); jumping into this journey of running a website was a brand new endeavour for me - never in my wildest dreams did I ever think the site would get this big, and I admittedly still have a lot to learn; it hasn't always been easy, but you guys have inspired me to keep the ball rolling and that is exactly what I intend to do for the foreseeable future.
 
These past 5 years have been an experience like no other, one that I wouldn't trade for the world; so here's to 50 more! :D
 
Before I close out today's post, we must of course go over the latest findings! Thanks to my rambling this post has probably gone on long enough, so let's get straight down to business (in no particular order)!

Hey everyone, dycaite here with the third notice board post for the month of March; it's always nice to have a busy news month for lost media! Here we go:
* A montage of clips from the original [[Drake and Josh (partially found unaired pilot of Nickelodeon sitcom TV series; 2003)|''Drake and Josh'' pilot]] has been found! The video, originally uploaded to YouTube by series creator Dan Schneider but soon thereafter made private, was found by LMW user afx6010, who discovered a link to the clip in question, downloaded it and mirrored it [https://mega.nz/#!JBdkCTiZ!cnq3otiKMmQDN7fjHiL7tzvV7zM0Sce30Axf0ovhKT0 via MEGA]! Big thanks to afx6010c for this discovery! A public YouTube mirror can be seen above.
 
* 4 minutes from the [[Zoom (partially found revival of children's TV series; 1999-2005)|''ZOOM'' test pilot]] have been found! Thanks for this one go out to Hayley, who appeared as a child in said pilot, and recorded a few minutes of it for YouTuber ZOOMfan1, who uploaded it, as seen above! Thanks guys!
 
* The [[Pokémon Learning League (partially found educational web series; 2006-2009)|''Pokémon Learning League'']] "Online Safety" episode has been recovered and restored! Props go to LMW user Gilblitz112 for locating the original via an old, joke-edited .swf file, and to YouTuber LARG for re-editing it back to its original state (or, as close as was possible); you can check it out above!
 
* The rare [[Doraemon (partially found Asian English dubs of anime series; late 1990s-early 2000s)|Asian English dubbed Doraemon '79 release "Virtual Holographic, Fiber-Optical Peep-Slope"]] has been found! It was acquired and uploaded by YouTuber Zarif Da Vocaloid and can be watched above in its entirety! Alternatively, a [https://mega.nz/#!T1FgnS4Y!SVLxjX3pnNprQJtjUz0k0pgg19_yrgkdrYswrZ7YYgs MEGA link is available here]; thanks Zarif Da Vocaloid!


* Two of the five [[Mister Roger's Neighborhood: "Conflict" (Lost TV Episodes; 1983)|''Mister Rogers' Neighborhood'' "Conflict" episodes]] have been found! Episodes 1521 and 1522 (ie. the first two episodes of the "Conflict" arc) were uploaded a little over a week ago by YouTuber TROG SLEEP NOW, although said uploads have now been taken down due to a copyright claim; fear not though, because several people (myself included) have made backups of the episodes and LMW contributor ApolloJustice has also made a YouTube mirror (of the two episodes in a single video), which can be viewed above; original webm backups [https://mega.nz/#F!DQZAQSxR!NngIF_5ampnRMW-_R7pAEA can be found here].<br/>Since the unearthing of these episodes, some... interesting (to say the least) articles have sprung up, theorising that their resurgence was a possible "warning" of sorts to Donald Trump. As an Australian, I'll let you guys in the US [http://www.thedailybeast.com/articles/2017/03/25/two-lost-mr-rogers-episodes-mysteriously-resurface-and-might-be-a-message-to-trump.html decide for yourselves] if there is [https://qz.com/942781/lost-episodes-of-mr-rogers-about-the-cold-war-have-emerged-on-youtube/ any merit to these] but from an outsider's perspective it seems like a pretty far-fetched thing to suggest... In any case, massive thanks to TROG SLEEP NOW for the provision and preservation of these TV relics and to blameitonjorge for [https://twitter.com/blameitonjorge/status/844700636612579330 tweeting about their recovery] (which is how I first learned that they had been put online); here's hoping the remaining three surface some day!<br/>P.S. Speaking of blameitonjorge, he recently uploaded a new lost media update video (in which the aforementioned ''Mister Rogers'' episodes are addressed), that can be seen above! Thanks to jorge for once again giving the site (and the site's Patreon) a shout out; I'm only too happy to return the favour :)
* A cache of previously lost [[The Secret Show (partially lost miscellaneous media from animated show; 2006-2008)|miscellaneous ''The Secret Show'' media]] has been found! Thanks to LMW user MK Inst, we now have 2 new Nicktoons American dubbed episodes (ie. 4 shorts - [https://drive.google.com/file/d/1DRwi5gIy693cS7uWygejAxtX3AeQlsE8/view "Booger Ball"/"Wedgie Attack"] and [https://drive.google.com/file/d/1SUKu9s72KojiUP8F3nPZKibrccFbGYzO/view "Flick The Switch"/"Giant Brain of Terror"]), the [https://drive.google.com/open?id=1T8Mg15rjMA3jsNC53trY_QU-IGYWq4Lq commentary track for "Flick The Switch"], the behind-the-scenes featurette [https://drive.google.com/open?id=1_deFLA1ojBlX_dTDUco59ZcUdWr8j6GU "The Sounds Of The Secret Show"] and the [https://drive.google.com/open?id=1oeNbXLLk-1AGgYnxTvY7ocRAA4Ry1-UB CBBC Premiere "Victor" teaser]! Thanks again to MK Inst for the provision of these materials!


* The PC version of [[Plumbers Don't Wear Ties (lost PC version of 3DO game; 1994)|''Plumber's Don't Wear Ties'']] has been found! This rare version of the critically and commercially panned 1994 adult visual novel was found at Ball State University's library by YouTuber [https://www.youtube.com/channel/UCsc7TiL19rtQpnc8tI5Ji2A psychoticgiraffe], who subsequently ripped the game and has made it [https://drive.google.com/file/d/0BwrH7rwIpwxUampDUGtnM0s4NlE/view publicly available for download]! The game's unearthing went on to catch the attention of the folks at PC Gamer, one of whom recently [http://www.pcgamer.com/thought-lost-forever-one-of-the-worst-pc-games-ever-has-been-found/ gave it's rediscovery a write-up]! Big thanks to psychoticgiraffe for making this rarity available to all budding "bad PC game" enthusiasts and lost media enthusiasts alike, and to PC Gamer for giving the LMW a mention - much appreciated!
* The English dub of [[Dingo Pictures (partially found movies from German animation studio and English dubs; 1993-2006)|Dingo Pictures' ''Wabuu the Little Raccoon'']] has been acquired by YouTuber Phelous, who has uploaded portions of said dub in a recent review, seen above; thanks Phelous! Here's hoping the full thing sees the light of day soon!


* Two episodes of [[Hippo Tub Co. (Partially found animated series; 2001)|Hippo Tub Co.]] have been unearthed by LMW contributor CDCB2! The episodes, "Finders Keepers; Singin' in the Drain" and "Norton's Turn; Am I Blue?" can be [https://drive.google.com/file/d/0B2ZPpPmqs4V0dkkzb0ZYMnBmVk0/view directly downloaded here], or can be streamed via the above link; Thanks to CBCB2 for unearthing these episodes, and a special shout out once again to ApolloJustice for providing a YouTube mirror!
Special thanks go to [[User:Reynard|Reynard]] (aka Gaucelm) and [[User:RSTVideo|RST]] for today's respective celebration artworks (and to all the fans who submitted new and/or allowed us to use their old LMW-tan artwork for the collage), and to [[User:Ryanskii|Ryan]] for helping us keep track of the recent finds!


* And if that all wasn't enough to sink your teeth into, Randy has released not one but TWO episodes of the [[Lost Media Chronicles|Lost Media Chronicles]]! This time he covers [[The Velvet Underground (partially found live footage of rock band performances; 1966-1970)|The Velvet Underground Live Footage]] and [[Oswald the Lucky Rabbit (Partially Lost series of Walt Disney shorts; 1927-1928)|Walt Disney's ''Oswald The Lucky Rabbit'']]; check them out above!
That's it for this one, until next time I hope you all have a great run up to the holiday season and just, once again, thanks to each and every one of you for being a part of this community and making it what it is today; it wouldn't be here without you guys.


That's it for now - stay gold, people!
Cya 'round!

Whhhat's up guys, I'm dycaite and today's notice board post is a very special one, because it marks the 5th anniversary of the Lost Media Wiki!

It's hard to believe it's already been 5 whole years, but it has, and the things we have done as a community in that time have been nothing short of incredible. I touched on this briefly in the previous notice board post, but now it's well and truly time for me to get all sappy:

Without the amazing community of kind, hard working people here, the site would not be where it is today, period. A site like this only has longevity if it has a dedicated community behind it, and I honestly think we have one of the best communities on the internet; that is perhaps the thing that I am most proud of, having been able to bring together such a fine group of people, many of whom I am now privileged to be able to call my friends, some even best friends. So, thank you, all of you, for making the LMW what it is today. From the bottom of my heart, your support means a great deal me.

I also wanna give a special shout out to our Patreon supporters - 2017 has been a financially strenuous year for me, and you guys have helped ensure that the wiki has stayed online all year round, for which I am immensely grateful.

Thank you to all the Discord regulars, for giving me somewhere to fit in just about every single day and be able to talk comfortably and be myself without having to worry about doing something embarrassing, and to all the people who have sent messages of encouragement over the years.

Thank you to everyone who believed that we could make an independently hosted LMW a reality and who stuck by our side during the more turbulent times.

Last but not least I wanna thank those of you who have been there for me on an emotional level (you guys know who you are); jumping into this journey of running a website was a brand new endeavour for me - never in my wildest dreams did I ever think the site would get this big, and I admittedly still have a lot to learn; it hasn't always been easy, but you guys have inspired me to keep the ball rolling and that is exactly what I intend to do for the foreseeable future.

Before I close out today's post, we must of course go over the latest findings! Thanks to my rambling this post has probably gone on long enough, so let's get straight down to business (in no particular order)!
