Hi everyone! Yes, it's me, Imagine! All I want to know of you Balto fans out there is: How did you come across this site and what made you register on it?

I always wanted to tell you my story, so here it is!

Once in around March 2008, I was still a Balto fan, but not as much as I am now. I was looking on youtube for something Balto related because I was bored. Then I stumbled across a video called, "Balto fan art". I watched it and I saw nothing but the most beautiful drawings and pictures of Balto and his family. I was so astounded I forgot to breathe! And who's drawings were they, you might ask? Well, they were the work of none other than Pample!! If you don't know who she is, she was a member of Balto source until 2006, and was never seen againon here. She's still on DA if you guys want to talk to her.
Amyway, back to the story.
At the time, I didn't know these were Pample's drawings or who she even was! Until one day when I watched the video for about the 10,000th time, I looked on the comments. Some of them were talking about this Pample. I figured she must have been the artist of these masterpieces. I wanted to see more of her drawings. And I found a link on one of the comments of the video. It took me to the main site on here. "This site looks familiar..." I thought. Then I realized I was on here before. Once in around 2007 I wanted to know the true story of Balto. And I got some info from this site. But back to 2008. I clicken on fan art on the site and searched, "pample". It took me to her fanart page. Again I was truly astounded! You can still go on her fanart page if you'd like. I went on Balto source everyday just to see Pample's drawings. And then I started to look on other fan arts. And finally I was all around the site, seeing what updates there were. I went on here everyday to see who was today's artist, writer, or image maker. Finally, I wrote my first Balto fanfiction. I wrote it on computer paper with different colored pencils. Then I decided to make some drawings. I get better and better and then one night, I wanted to see if you could regester without an email adress. At the time, you could, but I have an email adress now. I was so happy!! I sent my first fanart that night!!! I went on here everyday since...
That's my story. Now what about you?

My story is simple.

Watched Balto, went on the internet, visited my automotive forums, then decided I'd see if there was a Balto forum. I entered Balto Forums in Google and bam. BaltoSource was the first thing to come up. Lurked around a couple days, then joined up. I never have good stories that I'm allowed to post on here.

In 2007 I was at school with my friends who were always talking about balto and wolves.So I asked about it at lunch and thy told me about it. I made a profile called Riannabay123 but then never got on because I didn't really now how to do anything so I wasn't having any fun. I deleted that account and never got on again until about a year later in September when my friends started telling me how to send drawings and fanfics. So I signed up again as Branana and here I am, on almost every day! By the way my friends from school are White Pheonix_Rose and Russian pack.

Interesting topic, especially for me :wink:

Well these big sites like Youtube, Deviantart, Facebook etc...are often the most used "entry point", besides search engines. This is why I suggest everyone who has an account on theses sites to link to their gallery pages or to the main page of AS / BS...But very few people are actually doing it.

Yep, the site has developped so much that it may even get well ranked for other "topics" :P

With more sites coming, there will be many more "entry points" = more visitors overall.

I discovered Balto Source through the member who rarely comes here now,named Dingo,although he wasn't known as Dingo,he had the username of Nick,and he had that username at a Site called Stitch Freaks,a Site dedicated to Experiment 626/Stitch.

After rediscovering Balto on Youtube in February 2008, I wanted to find some Balto fanfiction. I searched google, and after looking through some of the older fanfics on sites such as "Balto's Boat" and "Silver Wolf's Balto Page", I finally made my way here. After months of just being a visitor, I finally decided to sign up.

Actually I found TLK source first, but didn't want to join. Later on, I noticed Balto source in the left hand corner and that sparked my interest more than TLK(at the time). I decided to join and.... well that's how I came upon AS, which I thank steet for so-kindly making.

About three or four years ago, I "google-ed" Balto pictures online hoping to improve on drawing paws. I stumbled across Balto Souce, since it was the first result that turned up and have been hanging around ever since. I only signed up last December, but I've been around for a while.
