AS YOU PROBABLY HAVE NOTICED WE HAVE A LOT OF TROUBLE WITH SPAMMERS THESE DAYS. TO BATTLE THAT WE HAVE ACTIVATED EMAIL AUTHENTICATION TO SEE IF THAT HAS ANY EFFECT. THIS MEANS THAT YOU HAVE TO AUTHENTICATE YOUR EMAIL ADDRESS BEFORE YOU CAN EDIT ANY PAGE. THIS GOES FOR NEW USERS, BUT ALSO FOR OLD USERS. YOU CAN SET AND AUTHENTICATE YOU EMAIL ADDRESS IN YOUR USER PREFERENCES (link). WE ALSO ADDED A LIST OF QUESTION FROM WHICH SOMEONE THAT WANTS TO REGISTER HAS TO ANSWER 1. WE HOPE THESE MEASURES WILL SOLVE THE ISSUE, EVEN THOUGH THEY ARE MEASURES WE WOULD RATHER NOT HAVE TO TAKE. WE HOPE YOU ALL UNDERSTAND THAT WE HAVE TO TAKE THEM AND ARE VERY SORRY ABOUT THE INCONVENIENCE.

IT SEEMS THE QUESTION WE ARE USING ARE GETTING BETTER, AND THE AMOUNT OF FAKE USERS SIGNING UP IS DROPPING A LOT. ONCE WE GET IT EVEN BETTER UNDER CONTROL WE CAN PROBABLY REMOVE THE EMAIL AUTHENTICATION AGAIN.


Welcome to Lost Media Wiki

This wiki is a community passion project where we detail and attempt to track down (at least, in most cases) pieces of lost or hard to find media; whether it be video, audio or otherwise (of either a fictional or non-fictional nature), if it's completely lost or simply inaccessible to the general public, it belongs here.

Breaking off from its original Wikia hosting, the site was moved to its own, independent host (the process of which was initiated in late 2014 and concluded in mid 2015) and has been steadily growing since its humble beginnings. We encourage any and all connoisseurs of obscure media to join in and contribute; the more the merrier. Happy searching!

UPDATE 2.22! (Added 29 Jan 2016)

Hey guys!

I'm back with a quick update on a few goings-on 'round the site that I feel you should all be aware of, plus a bit of cool news.

Firstly, you'll no doubt have notice the consuming amounts of spam accounts being created of late and I just wanna reassure you guys that we are working hard to stop them getting in.

Incidentally, I went through and banned an absurd amount of dummy accounts by IP last night, which should hopefully hold them off somewhat. Anyway, as careful as I was to follow the pattern of fake account names, it's entirely possible that I might have accidentally banned a legitimate user; IF you find your account banned and are a legitimate user of the site then please let me know and I will unban you ASAP. Like I said, I was very meticulous in weeding out spam accounts and as such don't think there are going to be many, if any, real accounts that got removed in the wave of deletions, but you never know and if it turns out that I have made a mistake, then I sincerely apologise.

Also on the note of spam, we're currently enforcing email verification for accounts, new AND old; if you don't provide an email address then you will not be able to edit pages. You can add an email to your account via your preferences page. I also wanna give a big shout out to Robin Deurloo for assisting in combating the spam and lending me his time and knowledge of MediaWiki over the past few months; thanks Robin, I think I speak for everyone when I say we appreciate it a lot!

Secondly and on a more positive note, an official Cheez TV Facebook page has been set up by former hosts Jade and Ryan, who have begun posting footage from the show! For someone like me who grew up with Cheez TV, this is really exciting; I'm looking forward to any more videos to come!

As for what else we've been up to, I recently had an interview with Abraham Riesman of NYMag regarding the Christine Chubbuck tape (who, if you hadn't heard yet, is the subject of not one but two Sundance entries this year), so keep an eye out for that and, last but not least, Randy has wrapped up the first season of 2Beats+ with a personal episode on Ocean Void, (of which Randy was once a member); you can check it out here.

'Til next time, friends!
