SL-LOST Team

SL-LOST came to be because of a mutual interest in creating an entirely new fan base, one that meets to discuss episodes of LOST in a virtual setting. It is a combination of people from all over the world with two things in common: Second Life and being fans of the show LOST.

BEGINING OF A DREAM: THE ORIGINAL ISLAND STORY

In May of 2007 several LOST fans began building the virtual island of LOST in Second Life, after a slow start and with the determination of two of the groups original members Campetin Hoorenbeek and Samantha Kuncoro, the group became better organized and with a handful of people were able to see 55 % of what they wanted for the island completed. When, suddenly at the end of October 2007 the original financial owner of the island disappeared with out giving his group any warning or explanation. All seemed lost for the handful of SL-LOST members that remained devoted to the idea of creating this new virtual fan base.

In late November the original island was opened back up for 24 hours in order for members of the group to collect the items they made. That day Campetin took video footage of the island and put together a video showcasing what was done. The idea was to attract new members to SL-LOST, with the hope they may be interested in contributing financially, so at some point the group would be able to purchase new land and rebuild the island. At the same time Campetin and Samantha began working on this website to post daily news and videos about Lost.

A TEMPORARY HOME: SL-LOST HEADQUARTERS

November 2007

Campetin and Samantha also found a new place in Second Life to open a meeting area, which became SL-LOST Headquarters. This enabled fans to have a place to meet and discuss LOST. A month before the season 4 premier they started hosting events for the group, discussing various characters and story lines. At this time a wonderful thing began to happen, the word about SL-LOST and the island they once had as well as their website and group events started getting noticed.

A GLIMSE OF A DREAM: THE MINI LOST ISLAND

March 2008

Several new members who attended the weekly meeting wanted to see the dream of a new island realized and  began talking about how we may be able to have a little bit of what was started.  A few members were willing to give monthly donations to help cover the cost of land, so a plot of land in an area that fit what we had in mind was found and the reconstruction began.   This new mini island contain the Swan Station ( better known as the hatch) with a meeting room, a small beach front with a survivors camp, a jungle with Jacob’s Cabin and the Pearl station.   With this new mini island SL-LOST gained more members and more recognition including an interview by  Mitch Wagner of INFORMATION WEEK MAGAZINE. Though the group gained success the full dream of an entire island was yet to come true.

A DREAM COME TRUE: LOST 3D ISLAND

Late June 2008

Samantha was approach by someone one evening in the hatch, after receiving the tour of the mini island he admitted this was not his first visit and said he was impressed with what the group had done thus far but knew that with the limit on space, prims and finances the group was at a stand still.   He then made an offer to host SL-LOST on one of his open space sims, though the group had received similar offers in the past which they turned down because of one reason or another, this offer was one they could not refuse.  The staff of SL-LOST then met to discuss the purchase of the new land and with a resounding YES!! The staff began building the NEW ONLINE 3D LOST ISLAND !

It is because of the group’s growth and all the wonderful support that now SL-LOST has reconstructed an entire island which opened on September 22, 2008: the fourth anniversary of the show.   This time because of the great amount of help and support, it is even better than the original, and there is a possibility of even expanding.
