Hiya people!

Just a bit of a heads up.

If you are trying to register to the forum, please remember to use the name you
are known in The Balto League Yahoo Group. I am getting a lot of user
activation requests where the names are very questionable. If I have any doubt
of your username, your activation may be delayed or fully declined. If you have
any queries about if you should be registered or not, if you e-mail me with your
Yahoo Group name/Forum Username, I will activate you asap.

This measure is so we don't get any un-nessary people joining the board. Also I
ask all to read this because then you all know to e-mail me with your queries,
and as only registered yahoo members can read this post, I'll know you are all
genuine.

Thanks for your co-operation! And have fun!

Colton James Wulfpaws/Goten Snatch Coonywolf

Hiya all!

On the back end of thinking about Wolfy's Weekly, I have made a forum on the
website! This is gonna be the home of Wolfy's Weekly, as well as anything
else we can discuss on there. I thought I would make it because it would be
easier and quicker to maintain, as well as easier to use... also we can do a
lot more in phpBB than we can in Yahoo Groups!

Obviously it'd be good if the group kept open, also all the true admins of
The Balto League will be made instant moderators of the board. The only
thing they won't be able to do is ban me or delete anything to do with me.
They will have FULL ACCESS to everything else.

That DOES mean though that people have to register for it. If you can please
register your KNOWN NICKNAMES. The reason is I have to authorise EVERY
registration now, so we don't get trollers or spammers like in the IRC.

  http://www.thebaltoleague.com/phpbb2

That is the temp address for the board. If people can register ASAP so I can
get them authorised, it'd be very much appreciated. Thanks and chat soon
all!

Colton

P.S. It may take at least 24 hours for me to authorise your usernames. It is
because I get the authorisation through e-mail, and I check it every day, so
as soon as I get the mail, you're in basically.

Well most people are on LJ, so if there also isn't one going, I could also
put together a TBL LJ group for it. I am sure there is already one running
but if not, that also could be a possibility. I just thought of a forum 'cos
it's readily available on the website, just need it coding in. :)

Colton/Goten

That's a great idea. You can use a Twitter Account though. It might make it
easier to post rants and stuff.

Hey people!

I am having a brainwave and I want to get people's opinions on it. It'll only be
a temporary thing but it'll at least get some activity going.

I am thinking of adding to the radio/website (in the shape of a phpBB forum) a
"Wolfy's Weekly" part, which'll basically be maybe a discussion or a rant from
me, with opportunities to add your own comments, and even your own rantings.
It'll be a bitch to program in, and it'll take a while to do, but I thought it

It's also a good opportunity to either get on radio (if you got a mic), or for
those people that can't access weekly chats. Just a thought, wanna get people's
opinions.

See ya in chat!

I'm not sure if anyone else has this problem but when I tried to SignUp on there

Also I have noticed the Icy Boards IRC channel Has been shutdown does anyone
think it should be restored?

Thanks Everyone I'll Make sure I finish Baltos Zodiac and the link will be up on
here as soon as it's finished I do have a Favor to ask though. Does any have any
Fanart to Submit To Baltos Zodiac? or my other Site The Balto Foundation?

Well us three original "founders" as Yahoo used to call us, are still here, in
the back ground and making things work. We are still authorising new members and
keeping things running smoothly.

White puts it best though - I personally feel that I have talked about Balto to
the extent where there really isn't much else to discuss. That doesn't mean that
I have lost interest, far from it, but instead I have kinda stepped back a
little to discover new things to learn about as well. I spend the same amount of
time on the net but I have lots of other interests that are still pretty new to
me.

Oh and I am still buying Balto stuff on the net so I am not going to give up my
title any time soon!

I would. I respect your ambition and would happily visit your site once it's
finished - maybe we could even link up. (Putting each other's website in our
links pages)

This is an interesting point you bring up, Goten, and it's a fair one, too.

First of all, I must say that we have absolutely no intention of letting The
Balto League die. This club will not be going anywhere. The problem lately is
that TBL has become somewhat, shall I say, symbolic in nature. Rather than an
active community of contributing members, it's fallen into a lapse where
participation wanes and enthusiasm is short. I think this is a very natural
process as the original founders/members get older. We started off as teenagers
still in high school, many of us, and now we've finished university courses and

routine, or younger members who started off with as much free time and youthful
ambition as we did, but unfortunately we're stuck in the middle of it all and I
think that's a big part of what's put this club into a state of hibernation.
Survival has to come first and foremost, after all.

The other problem, and one which is related IMO, is that there's not as much of
a non-TBL community to bring to the table to share with TBL any more. Over the
years a lot of good Balto websites have folded over and died, such as Balto's
Zodiac and my own site, The Three-Mile Marker. Others are still erected but only

so nothing is ever going to happen and the cycle will perpetuate, until we

Those are my two cents, anyway... now, since I've ranted enough, I need to get
off my soap box.

I see what you mean GSCWolf this group has gotten kinda inactive I know I've not
been on there a while Ive delt with so many Virus attacks its made my head spin
and I would hate to see the group go down do to lack of inactivity and I agree
100% with what you say

Hello people.

I don't know if anybody else has spotted, but over the past few months, the
activity going on around the league, both in the chat and in the posts, has been
very very minimal. There are a few people that are still active, and it's good
seeing them, but there are a lot of people who used to come along, but now...
well... don't.

I am not gonna bitch rant about everyone in here, this place has given me more
friends than I can dream of. But I am going to say this as bluntly as I can, I
am not gonna sit here and watch this group die. It's been going ten years so
far.

I know people have their lives to lead, don't get me wrong. But the problem with
that is people had lives to lead before, yet the chats still got full on a
Saturday night.

I don't want anyone to feel threatened or insulted by what I say. I don't mean
anyone any harm, but I just feel like this is slowly fading away and what I came
to in the beginning was fun. When will it be time for the good times to come
back?

I feel kinda bad being the one to stand up and say all this too, but somebody
had to.

What's going on?! o.o

Thanks it is nice the computer no longer shutsdown randomly and no 50 ads come
up every 5 seconds, it doesn't load slow and the Desktop appears now.
I had to fix it by going into SafeMode and load a norton security to delete all
the stuff.

For those of you that don't know, a new radio show is up on the website, with a
few tweaks and mods to the bios page.

The radio is hosted by Mike (FINALLY, someone else other than me doing it! XD)
and I did ask him to e-mail the group to announce it but I guess he forgot,
typical pup!

So it's up on the site for those that don't know, take a look before it goes
because I got a new episode in planning, and it involves an hour and a half
dance set from a furry DJ in the UK (the friend I tell you about). The set was
used in a recent rave, and before Mike bitches at me, I got his permission to
use it.

So go take a look people, and I'll see you all in chat on Saturday!

Sorry everyone I know I said I almost had Baltos Zodiac finished but I
have got a recent Trojan Horse and a Worm combined and it spread to all
three of my computers but luckily I uploaded lots of the Baltos Zodiac
files but I did lose my Other Balto Site Silver Silkas Balto Community
2000 and I lost all of my balto download files that took me weeks to
get a hold of so It did do alot of damage to my stuff and I am glad
though because I got some of Baltos Zodiac uploaded but It's not
finished yet and needs to be completed in order for people to visit it
otherwise it will get errors on pages and say they are not there so
please if anyone can help me I would really appreciate it the things
people can send me are anything balto related like photos or fanart I
am sorry this happened at such a bad time and the virus came from of
course LimeWire I will get Baltos Zodiac finished as soon as I can get
rid of this virus or get me my own computer Thanks Silver Silka

Just out of interest did you talk to Snow Wolf regarding re-building
her website? I looked last time you had it online and to be honest,
aside from the name, it didn't have anything in common.
