About My Lion King
My Lion King was started in November of 2006. It started as a small website hosted by freewebs.com and it consisted of a homepage, a guestbook, a few pictures and some information about The Lion King films. By the next month, I had already moved the site to a new web host. By then I had about 3 noticeable visitors that chatted with me in the guestbook.
In 2007 I did some more host switching, trying to find a good free host. Realizing that good free web hosting was just a dream, I invested some money into it and got paid hosting. This was quite possibly the best choice I ever made, because it appeared on Google, bringing in more visitors. Happy with the newcomers, I worked very hard to make the website as best as possible by adding a variety of multimedia.
In 2008 I installed forums and The Lion King Theatre. I fixed a lot of old material and did lots of work on the site. I made it so people that were members of the forums were members all around the site, including the new area that I have begun working on: the My Lion King Fan Art Albums (MLKFAA) section, which is for the artists to upload their artwork into their own album.
Throughout 2009 I continued to work on the FAA while activity in the forum continued to grow quite rapidly to my pleasant surprise. It became one of the most active English forums dedicated to The Lion King. Similarly, the FAA grew very quickly as well. Many top-notch artists from The Lion King Fan Art Albums joined and started uploading their beautiful art. I must say I was quite unprepared for so many artists. Still, work on the FAA continued and I started working on new features. From a version number point of view, the FAA is still in "beta" mode. I am hoping to make a formal announcement when the FAA is fully functional in mid-2010.

I've loved the film ever since it came out.I like computers very much, in fact I'm majoring in Computer Sciences. I taught myself everything in the world wide web universe from reading tutorials and chatting around in forums.

Description: I first saw The Lion King during its original theatrical run, but didn't get more into the fandom until 2009. I'm a huge fan of the movie's orchestral score. I'm currently writing words and doing things at Ohio University; I'm studying journalism and hope to write for the music or travel scenes one day. I'm fairly easy enough to get along with, so don't hesitate to PM me, IM me, or stalk me on Facebook. My belief as a moderator is that I should be a member first and a mod second, so please, by all means, don't think of me as anyone more important than anyone else. Equality is one of life's greatest virtues and is something we should all strive for.Anything else, feel free to talk to me. I'm always up for a good talk. You can find me in da club, and we gonna party like it's yo birfday.

Biography: I originally joined MLK because I found about it through a link somebody posted on TLKFAA. I hadn't watched The Lion King in a long time. I'm so glad I joined, because it got me to watch the movies for the first time since I was a little kid, and rediscover their awesomeness :]I am a proud furry, and I am very happily in a relationship. :3
Fall 2010 I'll be starting university classes, hopefully majoring in communications. At the present I volunteer at a museum, archiving century-old photographs.
