How is "fudge" a real swear? =/ And did I swear at anyone at all? From my POV, you are the ones saying "Oh my God, you are so mean because you don't like The Lion King, and because of that you don't give a crap about BaltoSource's twin-site, and I am right and you are wrong, so shut the fudge up", not I.

Please read the posts and don't be so nit-picky on one part. Picture of the week on BS isn't updated constantly either. Moderators who are fans of TLK; Brown Wolf, UK Teh white wolfer (if I remember correctly), Draco. Need I mention more?

What must I do to underline that you are the ones who need to invest in TLKS, not us!

Seriously, I am so tired of the whining and drama because of the little activity on TLKS. It's not out fault! =/
I have not been swearing at anyone, gold kitty. Would you please read my post before you respond to it?


As stated earlier; stop complaining about TLKS being inactive. Do something about it. Regarding the articles, you will need to ask Togo, as I only take care of the FanFictions.

What I quoted in bold here; read it. "From my point of view, you, Gold Kitty, are saying this, indirectly." is what it means. I haven't told anyone to shut up.

Would you please read my posts, or don't respond to them at all? -.-

I agree with Wolflux.

he/she wasn't swearing. I didn't see anything wrong witht he post he made.

Nothing will EVER happen to TLK Source unless the TLK users do something about it. This is getting annoying. If you really, really, care about TLKS than do something about it. I really don't care about TLKS its the people who do LIKE Lion King who have to take care of it, in my opinion. If Lion King Source is gonna get more popular if you know people who adore the movie like you do, gold kitty, than why not suggest the site to them? Lion King is a very popular movie and a lot of people know about it.

I can see that we're probably going back to the "Balto vrs. Lion King" history thingy. Ugh I hate it when this happens. Tani's rant was solved and the moment it gets locked another thing about the annoying subjects comes up but this site is called BaltoSource.

I've been there and I've seen how few fanfics thier are in fanfic of the week and how little music videos are updated. It doesn't even come up to how much stuff there is on BaltoSource.

It isn't anyone's fault that people go onto BaltoSource rather than TLKS. They don't join the site and say "I'm gonna torture the TLK users by never ever ever posting ANYTHING in the galleries there and blah blah"

But we don't have to all go onto TLKS just because its inactive. If you have friends who know and like the movie than invite them onto TLKSource. If I knew people who liked Lion King than I'd invite them onto TLKSource but sadly I really don't know anyone who does like/know the movie.

This is getting to the point where its annoying! Complaining and whining because BaltoSource is invested even more than TLKSource is. Its always annoying when the TLKusers start ranting and raving about how inactive the site is, its annoying to you and its getting annoying to everyone else here. Why not come onto BaltoSource? Just because TLKSource exists doesn't mean that there isn't any BaltoSource. After all, thats why the site was made. Not for The Lion King, but for Balto!

This site was to help get more people interested in Balto and to help make it more popular.

In my opinion, I think it was a mistake to even make TLKSource when this is really a Balto site. This site was meant for Balto fans and people (kids and adults alike) who love Balto. TLKSource is mearly an add for BaltoSource because who ever sees TLKSource will see BaltoSource when they enter the main page. So in a way it really wasn't a mistake to make TLKSource. But TLK gets enough attention.

And,sometimes, (when this stuff starts happening for instance) I wish TLKSource wasn't there because then we would all GET A BREAK! Yes it may be mean for me to say that but sometimes you really need to voice your own personal opinion on the matter at hand.

And I'm sure you wish that BaltoSource didn't exist either.

And this is a really good rant! Just what we need to get everyone yelling at one another and starting a frey! Wonderful..

Personally, I think this topic should either be locked or attempted to be looked upon as mature human beings. True, if it is locked there will likely be a similar rant in the future, but at this point in time for this particular rant, I cannot see it being resolved peacefully if all involved parties continue like this. Everyone just needs to calm down and relax.

I agree, the whole things gone off topic.
However, the corresponding replies have been sufficient, and the topic seems to be replied to (like a similar topic a while ago).
Personally, I think it should be locked.

*groans* Oh for cryin' out loud, not this rant again! For the what, billionth time, Balto Source was created before The Lion King Source. The only way TLKS is gonna get more popular is due to the members who go on it. Give it a rest people!

Gee, and I thought it was people's choice to visit a site and send stuff. It seems that there are more people who like Balto more than the Lion King. So, is that a crime? Just stop complaining about it. We're all adults here, or some beginning that stage in life. Whining is not going to help anything. People send things into the site so they can be seen and appreciated but there are those who don't want to do that so do not persecute them in any standards. That's wrong on so many levels. Just get over it and be happy that there are some who do post fan art fan images and fan fics and what not.

Everyone should just calm down, back away, count to ten, because there is no reason to be fighting.

The facts of the matter are that:
1) Balto Source came before The Lion King Source and Animation Source, thus it is more popular because it has more members.
2) Balto Source is the first site to be listed under the "Miscellaneous Links" section of the IMDB.com article, of which there are few. The Lion King, however, holds more links under its "Miscellaneous Links" section.
3) The Lion King Fan-Art Archive and The Lion King WWW Archive are two of the biggest and oldest The Lion King fansites in existence. When in a fandom, older sites get more hits.
4) The Lion King Source is largely inactive, which is not the fault of the moderators, but simply because it is not well known among Lion King fans, thus there is little happening (see point 3).

So, the way to increase the activity of TLKS would be to get more people on board, not to alienate the older part of the site. Check out lionking.org, and perhaps pull people from there (advertise) and its associated links as well as DeviantART to come to TLKS, that way it would become more active.

Personally, I enjoy both sides of the site and am working on some lion type arts for that particular gallery. I'm a fan of both movies, and with Animation Source, I can visit both fandoms without having to open a billion browser windows and crash my Windows computer in the process. I believe that is Steet's intention, for these two films are the most popular animated ones to involve animals, and in that matter, other films could come into the canine/feline categories that the films represent.

Both sides of the site have the right to exist, but both sides of the site have no reason whatsoever to be fighting.

If there comes to be any more fighting/flaming on this issue, even if/when this topic is locked, any and every one involved in fanning the flames of conflict should be punished (that is everyone who is fighting, not those who attempt to mediate the situation in a calm mature fashion, of which I have attempted here).
