posted by tenstone

Am I the only one who is getting really annoyed at the number of Lost clip compilation video and "fanvids" in the video section. It's a GREATLY AWESOME show, but these video are really annoying and get in the way of important ones. I especially hate muziki video made, put together with clips from the show. Do wewe agree with me? au am I being to OTT?

WTF why does the makala need to be longer..... Oh , im ment to post this in the forum, well i will as well but its zaidi likely to be read here. Sorry if this is annoying but ive typed it out now. and to make it longer im going to copy n paste this whole thing again.

Gkdhgs, lovedeath26 and 4 others like this

PkmnTrainerJ Now this is OTT. The forum post was fine.

heroesfan4eva well i and other ppl spend time making them and i dont appreciate you complaining about them, fair enough you dont like them, you dont have to make 2 things about it, and you dont need to watch them so whats the problem, but i do agree when there is like 15 added in a row but otherwise i dont really mind, in fact if they're good i love watching them.

TeddyBear A bit OTT!But you argument is understandable!!I to get annoied with fanvids,but some fanvids are atually really good!!& really if you dont want to watch them,then dont!,easy!!No one is forcing you to!!Some people just want to celebrate there favourite show with a tribute video,which i am all for!!:)

wepostlethwait There are some that seem like they are made just to have something to post, not that the song and the scenes really make sense.. not that I watch them on here, but some other spots have some really bad ones. The Office has more JAM fan vids than I can take. I almost shot myself when I was looking for a video on there and went through like 3 pages of different songs with the same scene.

katiemariie I've been adding the fanvids. From what I can tell, people are enjoying them. I'm not going to stop adding them because you can't figure out how to use keywords or the search function to find what video you want. Fanvids are fun and are a significant part of the fandom. The whole point of Fanpop is to put every element of a fandom into a searchable database. I think it would be a disservice to the Lost fandom to not include fanvids that were created with love for the show. I'm only doing my part as a fan of the show by adding these videos. If you don't like this particular aspect of the Lost fandom--here's a novel idea--don't watch the videos.

marissa Completely agree with you here, katiemariie.

Giovanni_wasto I agree - there's nothing wrong with putting the videos there. I admit, not all of them are good, but there's nothing wrong with them being there.

HannaK I understand why you're annoyed, but some people (like me) like them, so just don't watch them, and people have the right to post them, that's Fanpop!

Giovanni_wasto I kind of see where you're coming from though - I worked quite hard on a vid of my own, and had it pushed to the far reaches of the video section, never to be seen again, within days!

marissa Why not post some of these on the "Lost Relationships" spot? That might stop this spot from feeling so clogged up.

thatjasonguy I get the idea that people feel a need to become a part of the lost mythology, but I don't get what fanvids are even about. I only recently became aware of them and they seem to be everywhere and mostly indistinguishable from one another. That's not to say that there aren't some incredible ones out there, but most are totally and thoroughly unremarkable. So, yes, I feel your pain with fan vids, but I fear I might be the only one. Here's a link to an original lost fan video that's not a fanvid, http://www.revver.com/video/810981/get-lost-the-beat-goes-on/ and yes, that is a shameless self promotion.

heroesfan4eva but when the next lot of episodes air, posting fan vids gotta stop.

posted by Emm_xD

So originally the winner of Lost FOTM was going to have interview maswali asked kwa me, but then I won lol, so I was a bit stuck as to who'd ask the questions! Thankfully, link was kind enough to create some for me :)

Again, I'd just like to say thanks to everyone who voted!

1) First and foremost, how did wewe get in to Lost?
I'd always loved sci-fi type tv shows, and before Lost my only other favourite was The X-Files. I saw on a foramu that an X-Files shabiki was starting to like a new onyesha called "Lost". I started watching Season 1 on Youtube believe it au not LOL! It was quite annoying because...
