There are more than a few official and unofficial Lost sites out there vying for your attention concerning The Dharma Initiative. Here is my brief breakdown of a few of these sites.
For those of you searching for more clues to the Dharma Initiative login, found at Dharma Initiative (http://www.thedharmainitiative.info/) – also linked from Dharma Industries (http://www.dharmaindustries.com/) – I’ve got some clues.
First, Dennis in the comments section of another Lost post, points out this handy, dandy hotspot graphic (or this alternate graphic, which works better for me) for all you hopless clickers. I can never seem to get any of them to work, but others are reporting success.
There’s another unofficial Dharma Initiative site at The Dharma Initiative (http://thedharmainitiative.org/). Here there is an even more vexing login screen that appears, at last check, to be pretty unbreakable. All I know is that if you click the Swan you get the Orientation video. Help is welcome and encouraged.
As for official sites, if you try to go to the secure server of the Hanso Foundation (official Lost viral site), you get a text link to
http://www.bigspaceship1.com/. BigSpaceship1.com features a flash animation of two bears and some morse code in the page title:
… — — . – .. — . … / .- / .–. — .-.. .- .-. / -… . .- .-. / .. … / .— ..- … – / .- / .–. — .-.. .- .-. / .–. . .- .-.
Here’s the translation of that morse code:
Sometimes / A / Polar / Bear / Is / Just / A / Polar / Pear
“Sometimes a Polar Bear is just a Polar Pear”
Doesn’t make sense to me, but I’m not the producers of Lost. Maybe it works as a code on oceanicflight815.com?
No dice. I tried ‘sometimesapolarbearisjustapolarpear’ and ‘sometimesapolarbearisjustapolarbear’ – neither worked.
If you’ve got other clues about logging in to the official or unofficial fan sites, leave a comment.
Also, if you’re interested, I’m selling Dharma Initiative T-Shirts!
UPDATE: Hunter Maxim in the comments notes that Big Spaceship1.com has changed it’s cryptic message to the following morse code:
.. -. / –. .. .-. ..- — / .. — ..- … / -. — -.-. – . / . – / -.-. — -. … ..- — .. — ..- .-. / .. –. -. ..
He translates the message as the following: “In girum imus nocte et consumimur igni”
Information on this riddle of a Latin palindrome here.
“We go into the circle by night and we are consumed by fire.”
Or, alternatively:
This famous maccaronic verse, called “the devil’s verse”, is a riddle in the form of a palindrome – literally a puzzle inside a puzzle… It means “we wander in the night, and are consumed by fire” or “we enter the circle after dark and are consumed by fire” and is said to describe the movement of months. Some others believe that it is about the ‘mayfly’, that insect that circles the fire only to be consumed by flame.
Perhaps instead of polar bears we should be concerned about mayflys or the 540-day stay for those in the hatch? Who knows at this point.
UPDATE II: Malakai, in the comments of another post, notes that the Flash file of Dharma Initiative (http://www.thedharmainitiative.info/), upon his inspection, only has 3 hotspots and never resolves. One site down, just the login/password of The Dharma Initiative (http://thedharmainitiative.org/) to go. If you’ve got clues, this would be the place to post them.
UPDATE III: If you keep mousing over the area around 7 o’clock at http://www.dharmaindustries.com/ you’ll eventually get to a screen that looks like the computer terminal inside the hatch. Enter the numbers and you’ll receive a prompt asking for a “Member ID”. I’m thinking it’s the name of the dude who “rescued” Desmond, but I don’t recall his name. Anyone?
UPDATE IV: I’ve got two recent posts up about the new Hanso Foundation site – [here] & [here].
UPDATE V: I’m closing the comments. Comment on the Hanso Foundation posts listed above. That’s an official site by the producers anyhow.
hey sharrock, i want to cheat, tell me plz
Ok, so I wen’t into bigspaceship1.com, and all it had was a weird youtube video about electronic music. And now I say: WTF?!
It was an old fashioned video…9:15 long, and it just…never really came up to a logical end, I mean, the video was like cut off…It’s….tottaly RANDOMNESS!!!
D:::::…… aghhh, I’ll die…… @_@
dunno if this means anything, but the following text flashes up on the hanso foundation website when you right click then play. it can also be highlighted with a little patience. have no idea what it means though. text is:
Pdeo eo jkp ukqn bwqhp. Wo ukq kjya odkqpaz wp pda pkl
kb ukqn hqjco,
sa’ra whh ckp “xhkkz kj kqn dwjzo.” E fqop dkla iu
bneajz eo naopejc awou.
Sdana wna ukq? E’hh jaaz ukq pk iaap ia ej Jknswu.
Now quite frankly, i have no idea what this means, but all punctuation is correct, i need some freakin answers so mail me at the.great.huju@hotmail.com if you come up with anything. Cheers!
sharrock, i would also like to cheat please, thats some strange stuff. mail me!
hanso adpotions site, click on the line right at the bottom of the page, looks like this (_____) now i aint seen that logo before!
The mention of Sun in the code can refer to Sun on the island….
It’s Kelvin Inman not Celvin.
What is the Hanso Adoption site link??
Thanks!
btw why is there a two layer text at the top and bottom of this page?
After noticing the post about the jibberish writing at the bottom of the Hanso website, i decided to look for myself.
I wrote out the series of letters, and letter by letter, decoded it.
I came up with this:
“This is not your fault. As you once shouted at the top of your lungs,
we’ve all got “blood on our hands.” I just hope my friend is resting easy.
Where are you? I’ll need you to meet me in Norway”
I’ve been thinking it might be a message from Alvar Hanso? Or maybe a message to him, especially since it asks “where are you?”
Just thought i’d share. :]
x
What’s with the sound on the website tho?
now as i think you all know now, the hanso foundation site has a statment from Alvar.
Is there any clicky things on there
This is worse than Crack cocaine.
does anyone now if “The Mouth Piece” means anything to u guys, cuz i stumbled upon in it encoded in binary from a link from the hanso site ages ago, i didnt no wat it ment and still dont
hey sry to look so stupid…
but ive tried to get into the hansofoundation site and all i see is a picture of hanso and a statement and i can hear a voice saying “Youve taken a battle, for thats all it was a battle, humanity needs me…” and i cant go any further! plz help…
http://www.dharmainitiative.com is another website.
on entering the website 3 green lines in the shape of some fsort of symbol apper with what looks like the number 3. underneath it say emergence…the cycle has begun. i clicked on this and other parts of the page but that seems 2 b it!!!
hey…. ne1 there??? i really need help here im kinda new into this….plz respond cuz i cant get into the hanso page…. just to the letter in front of the green screen….i know it sounds stupid but im new ^^
Right I know someone has probably already mentioned this so I appoligise in advance!
So theirs a new site!
http://www.widmorelaboratories.com/
Apparently Charlie Widmore-father to Mrs Penny Widmore, has his own company called Widmore laboritorys! These guys, as mentioned on their own site, are the sole suppliers of food and medication to the Dharma initiative! Whats more, a look back at the scene with the real ‘Henry Gale’s’ hotair balloon, shows the Widmore labs logo on the side!
I’m not sure exactly what this means, but it kinda explains how it is Penny knows how to look for Desmond! Her father didn’t like Des much! Did he ship him off to the island to get rid of him? Also-was the Widmore lab balloon actually looking for the island? Survalance or something? And if Widmore labs are the suppliers of the Dharma food, they must know how to find the island to do the food drops!
In conclusion, I think its safe to say the Island isn’t as invisible as it seems! Their are alot of people who seem to know of its existence, and who are actively visiting the island!
Have you seen on :
http://www.losttvforums.com
There’s a message. Take the first letters of each line…
–> http://www.atc.com
have you an idea for the password ?
:o its nice… but that just leaves me with 2 sites i cant get into instead of 1…. if some1 knows how to get at least into the hanso page plz help me!!!! ill die!!!
holy shit?!?! the 2 dharma pages r weird…. the dharmainitiative no longer exists and the dharmaiondustries is now matrix-like… a black screen and letters and symbols (like a 3) appear and then it says “emergence…the cycle has begun”
wtf is this?!?!
I wonder what virus they are talking about on the Hanso Foundation page… listen carefully you’ll hear I have the virus….
u dont have 2 listen carefully…. just right click and click reproduce or play or whatever… the voice will speak louder ^^
Ok so their is a new film:
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=sR-N-A33KVY
It seems pretty real-the normal audio has been replaced with static, but the quality and layout of the film seem authentic.
The film seems to be showing footage of a test of a electromagnetic device-related to invisibility! Could this be the explanantion for the islands apparent invisiblity??
Tried that an didnt work! Search around tho and found this:
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=G0oMlUqAt1Q
is this what u meant? Sketch or what?
I am but a simple man, and I fear that their is not enough bread?
Whats that supposed to mean???
kendra have u got msn…. add twiginbed@hotmail.com and we shall figure it all out
thanks m8
When i got down onto my hands and knees and crawled right into the corner I found their was a very small piece of chocolate-probably a crumb from something I was eating a few weeks before. At first I thought it was the dead and curled up remains of an ear-wig, but a taste test confirmed it to be chocolate. I put it into a small plastic bag and sealed it, and then posted it to BBC’s complaints department, along with the legal documentation required to start the ‘sueing’ process. They didn’t replie, so I’m going to send some of my urine stained pants to my mum in protest.
On a slighty different subject-does anyone else think Sayid looks a bit hairy for a women? Oh deary me the producers of lost are going to get some complaints about that. Maybe I should send them a dead ear-wig?
Their is a flea in my drink? Or it might be an ant? Proper so be the frown!
‘trabbit!’
is everyone suddenly going insane? what the deal with al the random messages? god i have got the farts tonight! wet ones at that! oh yeah-lost is cool!
Golly brian! Wet farts sounds abit exstreme! maybe you could try eatin some salt or sumthing? or put some ice on ur anus?
Widge widge widge widge widge
Just saw all 6 episodes of season 3
they are on http://www.myspace.com/watchlostonmyspace if you haven’t seen them yet…
It seems Hanso takes a second place to the rest now. So far the best episodes yet…. Many questions again left unanswered.
Anybody, who like twig want to get in touch with me about Lost you can either find me on myspace
http://www.myspace.com/cordeliamoonangel or can mail me at cordeliamoonangel@yahoo.com as I don’t visit this forum too often.
thanks
If you click the initiative page that says emergence the cycle has begun it now shows JJED4, what does this mean???
You oaks must wake up and smell the coffee. This forum is an absolute load of trash.
Hi Guys.
Anyone who got the password to the Dharma Industries homepage on http://www.dharmaindustries.com/
Namaste
nothing to say at all but most of those webs are no longer available.
I’ll need a hacker to help me!!!
Please, anyone!!!
obrana_boranija@hotmail.com
does anybody know that when you go to
http://www.dharmainitiative.com/
and look at the page’s code source
it says
did you guys already know that?
…?
I MAY HAVE FOUND SOMTHING NOBODY ELSE HAS FOUND YET!
Has anyone heard about the film coming out in FEB? its called CLOVERFIELDS, directed by J.J.abrahms and the trailor for it is on youtube. WATCH IT! NOW!
Right, OK, you with me so far?
Yes?
Good!
RIght, OK. Now then, if you have season 1 of lost on dvd put the dvd in your dvd player and watch the first episode where the survivors encounter the ‘monster’. You will no doubt notice a half similarity between the two sounds both monsters make.
Keep watching, after the return from the cockpit jack/kate and the rest of them are stood on the beach. There is a point just before kate/jacks dialogue where a conversation between two extras takes place. It goes somthing like this:
“That sound, it seemed familiar”
“Where do you come from?”
“The Bronks”
Ahha, got it yet?
Notice that the trailor for the film CLOVERFIELDS is set in the Bronks, a district of new york. You can tell because of the building style and the fact that the ‘explosion’ comes from the south as the ‘monster’ has decapitated the statue of liberty and throws it northwards. You can tell this because of the sheer number of buildings between the camera and the explosion and the fact that there are no high rise buildings south of the statue.
Am i talking rubbish or is there at least a slight link between the two scenarios?
Why would J.J bother including the LOST extras piece of diologue if it didnt mean anything?
Any ideas i would love gto hear about…
cheers!

I was looking up information related to my name and found this page. By the way, Efialto, Persephone is not a male, but rather a female in Greek Mythology.
The dharma industries site is different now. when every you type in something in the login the page resets its self. There is nothing in the source of the page that say anything. Btw none of the sites you posted work any more
