Discredited theoriesTaken from Wikipedia:
At the heart of the series is a complex and cryptic storyline which spawns numerous unresolved questions. Encouraged by Lost's writers and stars, who often interact with fans online, viewers and TV critics alike have taken to widespread theorization in an attempt to unravel the mysteries. Theories mainly concern the nature of the island, the origins of the "monster" and the "Others", the meaning of the numbers, and the reasons for both the crash and the survival of some passengers.
Several of the more common fan theories have been discussed and rejected by the show's creators, the most common being that the survivors of Oceanic Flight 815 are dead or in purgatory. This was specifically denied by J.J. Abrams and was also proven to be wrong by the second season's finale. The makers of the show have also discredited the theory that the survivors will experience, or have experienced, time travel, which was dismissed by Damon Lindelof. Likewise, speculation that spaceships or aliens influence the events on the island, or that everything seen is a fictional reality taking place in someone's mind, has also been rejected by Lindelof.
Carlton Cuse dismissed the theory that the island is a reality TV show and the castaways unwitting housemates and Damon Lindelof, many times, discredited the theory that the "monster" is a nanobot cloud similar to the one featured in Michael Crichton's novel Prey.

yeah that was one of the reasons I got fed up with watchlost.com, there were so many christian fanatics on there telling peopel that was what it was and they just would not listen and they kept posting it again and again when other theories were being discussed, really annoyed me!
