Animation Source Forums

If you need some graphics done for this, hit me up. I think a MLP source has some potential. I see you got plenty of offers already though.

Guys, remember: if you want to get on these Sources, just talk with Steet. But keep in mind you have to actually WANT to help out--basically you're under obligation to help, at least as much as you can, until the Source opens. Don't just ask to be a builder because you want the credit; you'll actually need to put in the work. And try to make sure the Source you ask to be a part of is for a film/series you ENJOY--again, for the same reasons, because you're going to be working on it.

My Little Pony Source DOES have plenty more that needs done, so in my mind, the more people assigned the better. Graphics AND infos are both lacking, as are screenshots (no surprise there). 101 Dalmatians Source is nearing completion, but perhaps theres still room for one more person to help out.

Yes, but four sources seems like a lot for one Series

Normally I wouldn't be one to suggest yet another source... buuut.. lol

• Name: Finding Nemo
• Film/Series: Film
• General Information: Nemo, an adventurous young clownfish, is unexpectedly taken to a dentist's office aquarium. It's up to Marlin his worrisome father, and Dory a friendly but forgetful tang fish, to make the epic journey to bring Nemo home.
• Owner/Producing company: Pixar Animation Studios & Walt Disney Studios Motion Pictures
• Link to the film/series Wikipedia page: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Finding_Nemo
• Why should we add it? Biggest reason I think is it's something different from all the canine sources that have flooded AS. Finding Nemo is a very cute movie that I don't think gets the attention it deserves. It would probably fit among all the other sources here atm.

Tibb: funny, I was thinking about a Finding Nemo source.



Not that anyone knows what "Gumby" is, but it was something I was into a few years ago or so.
Name: Gumby
Film/Series: Series (Has a movie as well)
General Information: Gumby is a 1950's stop motion clay animation. With a total whopping 233 episodes! Gumby's sidekick, Pokey, an orange talking pony.
Owner/Producing company: Art Clokey
Link to the film/series Wikipedia page:http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Gumby
Why should we add it? I feel Gumby is something that had a LOT of work put into it, and in general stands out from the rest of the current Sources.

And I second the notion of Gumby Source,and Finding Nemo Source.

YAY GUMBY!!!!!!!!!!!!

a. I should point out that I have been added and removed from the Secret of NIMH Source several times and, what with my personal feelings over how things have been handled, and statements made by the webmaster in a recent rant topic, I have declined to participate. Additionally, while I don't want to speak for another person or persons, I know Juuchan17 has been rather frustrated by the process as well, and neither of us have been communicated with on this, nor felt as if we were part of a team. I don't even know whether or not DT has been communicated with or felt included (I know he and I have talked about this privately, and he's expressed similar confusion, if not perhaps the frustration that I and Juuchan17 have). A team which seems to have changed multiple times since that particular source was started. I don't know the details, but I keep wondering why most of the original creative team has been lost.

I haven't posted anything in there, and I don't know that Juuchan17 has (and if I am wrong on her part, then I will gladly stand corrected). Our participation was never consulted, nor were we asked about what we had contributed, if anything. Nope. People just nudged their own way in and started posting and moving things around. I don't even know why I am still on that list. And frankly, given the way it's played out, and the lack of coordination, communication and cooperation (even in spite of my several attempts to ask for it, in a civil and hopeful way, in the Secret of NIMH Source shoutbox and by a series of PMs early in the process), I am not going to be participating. It's too freaking late for that now. There is nothing left that I would be able to offer.

b. On a separate note, and I don't mean this as a personal attack (so he'd better not take it as such), but I am curious as to why Skulblaka_Shurt'ugal is an info site builder on every single one of these as-yet unfinished sources. Interesting. And for the record: I am simply making an observation here. That's it.

If one would look further, they would notice I am not only an infos builder on the unopened ones, but every single opened one as well. Steet made me universal infos mod, in order to clean up old sections of opened Sources, write fan news for dead opened Sources (which I have yet to do, I may do that right now...), and to write infos for the unopened ones. So far I've been utilizing that as much as possible; within the last two months, the infos for three unopened Sources have been finished.

And as for the list above, it is composed of the people currently listed on the staff pages on each of those Sources; when the pages are updated, so is that list. So as of right now, you are still on that list because you're still on the NIMH staff page.

You're right Skul,I see where JC is still on The Secret of NIMH Source Staff.

I believe you misinterpreted the point, your not a mod, no site builder is a mod, were all equal. Not me, not you, not Koak, whoever, is not higher or lower in rank. This also leads me to ask the question: Why are there other site builders if you go and do everything yourself? ...Give others a opportunity to build a site, and let the current builders who were added to the site do their jobs. Only step in when you need to. Like when you posted a fan news for me because I spent about 3 weeks doing that myself.

I don't know what Steet's intentions were when he added you, but in my mind it should have went like this: Steet added you to help where there may not be enough site builders to manage the site, or to fill in the gaps that another builder may have missed. Not to go and take over both opened and un-opened sites.

I in no way meant that I'm trying to take over Sources, and if I gave off that impression I apologize. And yes, I realize that I have been doing a little too much on some projects, for which I also apologize. I'll make a better effort to let the other builders do their work as well.


I believe that was his intention, and I'll definitely try and remember my place. But you've got to admit, some of these Sources (namely the ones where I'm the only builder, to be fair) have needed updating. Hopefully new updates will be enough to get at least some activity on them.

I realize that. But that is not really my point. My main point was that, at least in Secret of NIMH Source, as I can see it (because I cannot knowingly comment about what's going on in the other as-yet unopened, or recently-opened, sources), there's been NO coordination, NO teamwork, NO real sharing of duties and efforts to make it a group thing. Rather the reverse. And in spite of my efforts, when I was initially put on the site builder staff there (nearly a year ago at least), to get a PM coordinated communicative effort going and to bring everyone together, the following has occurred, especially since that time:

• Site builders have changed (I was taken off at least once, and only placed back on because I asked steet why I was removed -- which I am sure had to do, in part at least, with that ridiculous and unjust ban); according to your list, Black Rose is no longer there, and neither is Hazel Kat. Dragon Tamer was added originally when he and I were discussing it, and he wanted in (and I spoke to steet on his behalf). Kay the Zombie mysteriously appeared on that staff (and several others for some strange reason) and was subsequently and fortunately removed (as a result of the recent staff changes and trolling problems); then ZukotheCat and you have come on board in capacities which folks like I, Dragon Tamer and Juuchan17 (and Hazel Kat and Black Rose) were supposed to be handling. Now, why is that?
  
  
• As said, there has been no effort at teamwork, or SHARING of duties. On this source, it seems more like it was a rush as to who could get stuff up before anyone else did, without coordinating it with others in the same position (info/graphics). As a result, Juuchan17 and I were never even given so much as a chance to put anything up whatsoever, and no one ever spoke to either of us about it. We were just left to sit on the list. Juuchan17 has some wonderful material she did for this. And I had some great info. But what is the point now? Someone sure as heck made certain that they got their hands in on it before at least the two of us even had a chance...and then they brushed off any concerns or efforts at discussion (either in the shoutbox there, or by PMs or off-site communications on my part) in order to try and correct this apparent problem.

Am I miffed about these things? You'd better believe it. Is Juuchan17? I can't speak for her, of course, but the impression I get is that she most definitely is. What is the point of our stepping in and doing anything now? Stuff has been done, and it would be laughable to suggest that we still have time and ought to try to just step back in and do something. Right now, we are site builders only in name, and because we're on the list.

As I have said elsewhere, Juuchan17 and I were the two members who originally wanted this source in the first place, and thus suggested it (in this very topic in fact). It meant THAT much to both of us. The story has been very dear to me since I was a child. I had great hopes of wanting to contribute...not to see my name up on a freaking list or to gain some ridiculous prestige or control over anything, or to simply BE on staff (or to be on staff all over the place), but because this meant a LOT to me. I just wanted one little slice of something I could contribute to, and have the pride of saying I took part in. And in something that involved a story and movie that I could really sink my teeth into, and give lots of good and intelligent contribution to. The same with Juuchan17 I am sure. And, once again, it was unceremoniously ripped from my hands without a bye or leave. No one discussed it with me, no one even told me. I just found out. And with other things I have already stated, that leaves me pretty disappointed, upset and feeling like I want nothing more to do with it (there would be no point anyway...there's really nothing left to BE done of any consequence).

I would also echo what MightyBalto1925 have said here...and it ties in, in part, with what I have detailed in this (and my previous) post.

Why is everyone having a fit over this?

My impression is that Steet is a little disorganized about the site builders due to recent events regarding the trolling, change of staff, and recent activity on these in-progress-sites.
Why not ask him to fix these positions so that everyone finally has a secure understanding of who is working on what source and other details?
