Found that you now can become a pre-member for Dharma Industries:
"Member recruit information(110106):
The core team has decided to recruit new members to Dharma Industries. The pre-membership card can be ordered online - but an extensive test period will follow.
You will be notified with your tasks in the DI protocol by encrypted Airmail. If you prove yourself loyal to our program we will continue our work with you. "
If you click this link, as of 1-16-06, it redirects you to a PayPal page and sks if you want to pay $30 for the pre-membership card...Has Anyone tried this?

- Website with info and a login page. You can't access either as it does an IP scan, which automatically denies you. (Note:Merely a flash animation sequence that makes this appear so, it does not actually trace your IP address.)
- You may enter the site by keeping your mouse in the lower left or 7 o'clock position (or move in a circle within the hexagon.) The ip address will turn green and you will be taken the the hatch terminal where you will need to enter the numbers 4 8 15 16 23 42, They can also be entered with no spaces. Once this is done you will be asked for a member ID.(Note: you only get three trys to get the ID right or the screen will say:System Locked. Oh, well. Hit refresh and try again.) To avoid refreshing every time system is locked you can try this http://www.kraftkost.se/check.php?code= (before "code=" write the member id you want to try) if you get a url you got the answer! No one yet knows the correct member id.

The Flash File is just a joke because there is nothing else on that webspace and there is no further member ID but maybe I'm wrong and there is one after all that I've missed.
When the Flash file is decompiled using a SWF decompiler, the following actionscript is revealed: (remember, this is code that was made by the flash programmer that was hired to make the flash file. There wouldn't be any relevence to "Lost" in this code. This is simple actionscript that is not supposed to be visible to the average casual viewer of the Dharma Initiative website. I used a swf decompiler to see if a URL would become available upon viewing the actionscript. Someone with advanced actionscript knowledge may want to look at this)
