I don't understand why it's so important to keep the bunker and the computer a secret. Why can't Hurley tell people?
Nobody can tell Marmaduke what to do. That's my kind of dog.

The evil is this way?
Because if it's not kept a secret then all the Not!Cool Kids will know. And it will no longer be a Cool!Place for all the Cool!Kids, and .... I dunno.

Well not canonically, no, but this is transformative fiction.
I think Hurley was to keep the food a secret, so he wouldn't get 35x what he got from Charlie.

the hardest to learn / was the least complicated
Speaking of the bunker....
(1) Desmond asked Locke (or Jack) if any of their group had gotten sick yet. (2) Desmond's bunker buddy (Kelvin?) died. (3) Desmond looked like crap, though a good deal of that was likely b/c he hadn't slept more than, say, an hour and a half at a time for years, but possibly he was getting sick. (4) Desmond had the injectable mystery hatch drug, presumably to ward off "the sickness." (5) Didn't crazy Rousseau's shipmates get sick (leading her to kill them)?
Which brings me to 6, 7, and 8:
(6) Group 2 of the survivors started out numbering in the 20s, but when we saw them all together, it looked like 8 or 10 (unless that wasn't all of the group). (7) They were in some sort of annex of the bunker.
(8) Sayid's comment about Chernobyl probably isn't too far off the mark -- maybe the bunker (or what it's sitting on) killed Kelvin and the people from group 2 and crazy Rousseau's shipmates.
....or had all y'all already figured that out, with fewer steps in the deductive process?
Maybe the numbers have to be typed in every 108 minutes in order to vent gas or something, to prevent the toxic waste heap under the bunker from going 'splody.

All sorrows can be borne if you put them into a story. Tell me a story.

After seeing the training film I'm skeptical that typing in the numbers does anything more than let the Dharma Corp (or whatever it was) know that they still have a lab rat(s) pushing the button. I'm curious as to whether or not anyone is still paying attention to this experiment of theirs.
On the other end of the belief scale... I am very likely to believe that something that is surrounded by 4' thick concrete is probably like that for a very good reason and should not be tampered with.

Strawberry disappointment.
A while back, as a joke, I suggested that inside the hatch was another hatch and then another, Russian doll-like. However, what we find inside the Hatch of Mystery, is the Thing Interred in the Concrete of Mystery. Come the end of this season is there going to be a Shoe Box of Mystery inside the concrete? Or will they not keep us hanging for an entire season before they admit they haven't got a fecking clue what's inside the concrete?

What is even happening?
I think it is all a psychological experiment.
On us.

I like Cindy's theory.

Me too.
Or ...
maybe if we stop watching the programme the world will end!

If no one is watching the show, does the show exist?
