Animation Source Forums

I understand, and I must say I hesitated before adding this article.
But at the same time, we didn't stole the text or the pictures, only the idea is in common. And if you look at the comments, other people had also noticed that dog before, so it's not as if it was a real secret that only you found.
I don't mind people taking ideas from the site, I only don't want copy/paste and stolen pictures (or worse, direct linking). So if you want to write an article on your site about the cameo appearances of the characters in Balto 3, for example, I have absolutely nothing against that.

Hmm I haven't read the articles in ages, I'll go do that now. And I have heard of the unknown dog, so I guess it is kind of common knowledge.

I don't really agree, though it is true some people may have wondered who he is, the evidence of what he looks like etc was on my site long before. If I wanted to copy the info you had about cameo then that is something different, that is obvious and in the movie. You have taken info that I have actually looked into and compared to artwork etc that didn't make the final movie. That is different, the secret isn't that I was the only person in the world to see that character as you say, it is the information and personal ideas I have had which I am not happy about seeing repeated on your website. I am asking politely for you to rethink that page, at the end of the day what is the point of repeating information? I may as well put up a character page on my site cos no one has ever done that before..

Well I think I'll just let people here give their opinion about what I should do with this page. If you want me to remove this article, I'll do it. If you think I should modify it, or leave it like that, just tell me.



In that case, there would be no meaning for fans, to make their own Balto website, since nearly everything has already been talked about Balto. But I think everyone doesn't see things as you do. I don't see anything wrong about putting up a character page, as long as you make it in a personal way. (with your own descriptions and modified pictures, for example). Even character descriptions pages can be different from one site to another.
To me a good site is a site that is complete, not only a site with "original" things you'll not see on any other site.

Well I'd like to see the article stay, but of course it wouldn't be a good idea to leave it if AC isn't comfortable with it being there.

Like I said though I object to the fact that my ideas have been used. My ideas being "The joke however, is that if you look at the character designs of the scene, it looks like Balto!" and "Other ideas was that it was Alue in character design!" which both may as well have just been copied and pasted from my site.

I don't have a problem with you pointing out the fact that there is a dog there in the background that is a blackish/greyish colour.

Well I can modify these parts, then.

i don't know why but i never looked at those articles. im starting to look at them now
