The Flynn Lives Organization (aka FLO) are a collective group of people that believe that ENCOM video game designer Kevin Flynn is still alive, despite his mysterious disappearance in 1989. While ENCOM quietly disapproves of the organization, Flynn's son Sam Flynn supports the group and helps them from time to time with getting the "Flynn Lives" message out.

History

Flynn Lives began as a Usernet group around 1992. The group grows be enough that they hold a meet-up in Dayton, Ohio, where they resolve to continue to find Kevin Flynn.

In 1998, a letter from Kevin Flynn to a founding member of the group gains media attention, but was then debunked. That founding member (now ex-member) later checked into a mental hospital for observation.

In 2001, FLO offers a $5,000 award to anybody who can prove Kevin Flynn is alive. By December 31st, nobody had satisfied FLO's jury and the money was spent on a party.

Between 2002 to 2005, interest in the organization dropped greatly. During this period, very little new news about sightings were reported. This changed in 2007, when the "Albino Cow" Flynn sighting in southern New Jersey energizes a new generation of activists.

In July 2009, another Flynn Lives meet-up was held. This time in San Diego, CA. They recreated Flynn's Arcade and revealed a new lightcycle replica. The meet-up was a huge success and interest in Flynn Lives grew immensely.

On February 24th, 2010, a world-wide meet-up was held where Flynn Lives operatives gave members access to Pit Cell.com
