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)!

What's up guys, dycaite here for the first time in what feels like forever - apologies for my absence of late. In any case, here I am with another big lot of updates for you all to dig into!
* 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.
 
* Firstly, let's catch up with The Shoegazer! Hitting it's 50th episode milestone, the Lost Media Chronicles is back to cover one of the most heavily requested subjects yet - the infamous [[Doctor Who (partially lost episodes of British science-fiction TV series; 1963-1974)|lost ''Doctor Who'' episodes]]! Additionally, Randy has released a 2 part retrospective special on the series where he goes back over the past 50 episodes addressing any updates and corrections. All 3 videos can be seen above; thanks for the continued great work Randy!
 
* Remember that one of a kind [https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Once_Upon_a_Time_in_Shaolin Wu-Tang Clan album ''Once Upon a Time in Shoalin''] that the poster child of douchebaggery and egomaniacal tendencies Martin Shkreli shelled out 2 million bucks for? Well, [http://www.ebay.com/itm/132319745117 he decided to sell it on eBay], where it ended with a highest bid of just over 1 million dollars; however, as Shrkeli [http://www.abc.net.au/news/2017-09-14/martin-shkreli-pharma-bro-heads-to-jail-over-clinton-post/8944128 was sent to prison days before the auction ended], it's unknown if the deal actually went through or not. In any case, one cannot help but bask in the schadenfreude of it all; and if it wasn't enough that he was finally sent to prison AND was set to make back only half of what he paid for the record, it turns out it [http://www.vulture.com/2017/09/martin-shkreli-wu-tang-album-may-be-fake.html may not necessarily even be an official Wu-Tang Clan release after all]... But that's a discussion for another time. Peace out Shkreli, you deserve everything that has come to you and that will continue coming to you :)
 
* The complete test footage for [[The Duck (found production material for animated film; late 1990s)|Uli Meyer's ''The Duck'']] has been found! Uploaded to Vimeo by Meyer himself about a week ago, the 9 minutes of footage finally reveals the extent of the project, and in excellent quality no less! Huge thanks to Uli for sharing this with the world; the complete test footage from ''The Duck'' can be seen above!
 
* A very generous anonymous user recently provided us with a copy of the original [[Aladdin (found Howard Ashman's original treatment of Disney animated film; 1988)|Howard Ashman treatment of ''Aladdin'']]! The [https://mega.nz/#!3dhQ3KZS!dU-aJAHnYiy8x4eMYBSq_jWrR2ilm7kETN_H-R2nIYk 31 page document can be downloaded here]; big thanks to the generous anonymous contributor for acquiring this and sharing it with us, your efforts are much appreciated!


* This next case concerns the generosity of a certain LMW contributor who absolutely deserves recognition and thanks for his efforts. Discord regular SOOPER NINTENDO selflessly spent $300 of his birthday money on three [[Doraemon '73 (partially found first-adaptation anime series; 1973)|''Doraemon ’73'']] scripts from Japan (that is, the scripts for the episodes "Cursing Camera", "Duel! Nobita And Gian" and "Who Am I"), before scanning them and sharing them with the community! The "Cursing Camera" script scans [https://mega.nz/#F!GZJ1RLiI!VTsyfmvEN4GyYjg-021xmA can be found here in their entirety], while the majority of the pages from the "Duel! Nobita And Gian" script [https://mega.nz/#F!uIJ2TLBT!RwzHWrnG8miu8yWuLfuU4Q can be found here], with the remaining pages to follow in due time, along with the script for "Who Am I"; big, big thanks to SOOPER for going to such efforts to secure and make available these pieces of animation history, max kudos to you!
* 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!


* [https://www.discogs.com/On-A-Friday-On-A-Friday/release/5752305 Radiohead's "On A Friday" demo tape] (On A Friday being the then-name of the band), oft-cited as the holy grail of Radiohead rarities, has been found in its entirety! In early August, the entire demo tape was uploaded by YouTuber [https://www.youtube.com/channel/UCNEnDz0-TP4bDd4KjY1oUvQ Andrew Peterson], who had in turn sourced the tracks from fellow YouTuber [https://www.youtube.com/user/klootme/videos klootme]; thanks guys, this is certainly an interesting look at the early days of this groundbreaking group! You can listen to the demo via the above embed, or [http://www.mediafire.com/file/5i05yxhqhhsr47u/On+A+Friday+-+Abington+School+Demo+%281986%29.rar download it directly here]!
* 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!


* For the longest time, there was a lost game known simply as [[Machot drives it all... AKA "The First hardcore erotic Game in the world!" (lost PC erotic game; 1994)|"The First hardcore erotic Game in the world!"]] (P.S. this page is <span style="color:hotpink">'''NSFW'''</span> but that kind of goes without saying); well, now, thanks to the uncovering of a new (or should I say old) advertisement for the game, we finally know the title, ''Machot drives it all...''! The ad in question can be seen above, [http://lostmediawiki.com/images/5/5c/Machot.jpg or at a higher resolution here]; big thanks to [http://retrocgads.tumblr.com/post/154691716423/usa-1995 retrocgads at tumblr] for the provision of the ad and to LMW contributor Sylphelle for bringing it to our attention!
* 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 notice board posts ago we reported that LMW contributor TayoEXE had managed to find a VHS recorded copy of the original English dub of [[Disney's Coyote Tales (found Disney Channel TV animated film; 1991)|''Disney's Coyote Tales'']]; we're happy to inform that the film has since been uploaded in its entirety and [https://drive.google.com/file/d/0ByCyRuCaeMkgR24tc01wOEFyOW8/view can be downloaded here]! Big thanks to TayoEXE for coming through for us, your efforts are to be commended!
* 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 remaining lost English episodes of [[Disney's Teacher's Pet (found animated series; 2000-2002)|''Disney's Teacher's Pet'']] have been found! Big thanks to Goryparodies at the [https://www.facebook.com/Disneys-Teachers-Pet-237014486449604/ Disney's Teacher's Pet Facebook group] for the provision of said episodes, [https://www.facebook.com/pg/Disneys-Teachers-Pet-237014486449604/videos/?ref=page_internal available for viewing here]!
* 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!


* A hefty selection of lost episodes from the series [[Little Clowns of Happytown (partially found animated series; 1987-1988)|''Little Clowns of Happytown'']] have been found (albeit in Korean dub)! The episodes have each been uploaded to Dailymotion courtesy of LMW contributor Awful BeBad, but are set to private and require a password (the password is lostmediawiki.com). A [https://pastebin.com/2PJtGVcb list of said Dailymotion links can be found here]; thanks Awful BeBad!
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 finally, I'd like to leave you all with an awesome story of something that happened on Reddit recently. In a [https://www.reddit.com/r/AskReddit/comments/6zm3uo/with_the_adage_nothing_is_ever_deleted_from_the/?sort=top thread about things that others have seen vanish from the internet], one user recalled a track from yesteryear that they could no longer found online, the track in question being "New Noise" by This Year's Black. By sheer luck, or coincidence, or fate, or whatever you wanna call it, someone who used to be in the band unintentionally came across the post [https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=pqm8hd2z5sU and provided the lost song]! I just think stories like this are really great and it goes to show just how small of a world it is that we live in. The take-away message here is to keep hunting - you never know when the creator of a work might be made privvy to your search efforts!
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 gunna do it for this massive post, here's hoping I can get myself back into the swing of publishing notice boards on a bi-monthly or tri-monthly basis instead of just once a month, and, again, sincere thanks for putting up with my delays and absences, I appreciate the understanding and support a whole lot. Take it easy guys!
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 wanna give a special thanks to all the staff and collaborators, old and new (including our newest mod-to-admin promotee 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)!
