There is a group of hackers going around on the internet, that steal peoples ID and shut down websites which have copy right material in them. So watch out! Always give credit when using copyrighted material. They are also working to shut down DEVIANT ART and COLOUR S 3D

I appreciate the warning Mane, but I doubt TLKGO is that big a website to draw the attention of people with those kind of skills.
I'd also think it hard to believe that they'd bother shutting down a site like this one, if anyone was to shut us down I'd guess Disney would. In saying that though, we're not the only site of this kind on the internet and I don't just mean ones that deal with The Lion King.
I would wager that we're safe enough, however, I'll note your warning and keep it in mind.

If they are Stealing People's ID's are they not doing something wrong aswell?
Plus TLKGO forum does not use any material copied directly from Disney which makes any money from it (this is the thing in their top priority list when it comes to taking down websites), I in-fact personally put money into this with no financial return because of love for the forum and community.
Disney doesn't sue or threaten removal of this kind of thing because they know if they do it will kill the fanbase and respect of their company as we are not doing anything to harm them, we are doing things to support the love for them. If this forum was all about selling images/videos/user accounts or charging to use a site based on a film they have created, then that is another matter (and an understandable one at that).
Nothing to worry or be concerned about.

Okay, I just thought I might give the warning. You never know what could happen.

Good. I guess this is settled then ^^. I was worried for the forum, because if they do manage to shut down major sites, what could they do to a forum? Thanks guys for reading this.
Please lock this post now.
