Official Press Release(Heh, as if that many people care ;) )
Due to the fact that the ninjaturtlesnetwork.com site has become rather stale as of late, I've decided to change the focus of the area to become focused on general media rather than one franchise. Chances are, if you're interested in turtles, you're also interested in He-Man, Thundercats, Batman, Superman, Back To the Future, Seinfeld, etc.. So, we're going to include all those in our news reports, as well as general media news.
About the only section of the NTN.com site that's going to get a face lift is the Interviews section. I'm going to integrate that into twelveocklock.com and continually update it. For instance, this September, I may get the chance to interview marc summers of double dare fame.
It's all in an effort to increase site visits and keep people coming back from more. I'm also going to ask the 'celebrity' friends I know if they are willing to do a monthly 'blog' about the projects they've done as well, so hopefully it should be interesting.
Right now, the domain h as just been registered, and we're in the process of site design. We're also looking for reporters. If you know someone who keeps up on Seinfeld news, Batman, Superman facts, anything interesting about the media, send them our way. It's a non paying gig for now, but if we expand into the money areas, that may change in the future..
Thanks!

you're signature pic is WAY too big Vegita. It makes my life difficult by having to scroll left and right. No I am not increasing my resolution on my PC, I hate the bigger resolution that Windows XP offers, I can never see anything on it.

Sounds interesting. :) I recommend hanging on to the NTN domain name and pointing it to the new site so that people can still find you, though.

Yeah, I think I'm going to integrate NTN.com into twelveocklock.net for now. Oh, and don't worry, our sites are all still there, but for some reason they arn't showing up. I'm waiting response from our ISP to find out what's wrong..

The Switchover has begun!
I dunno why the NTN.com board isn't as active as some of the other turtle sites out there, but nonetheless it'll be back hopefully by the end of the day. I've just got to wait for the domain to be resolved before the new site shows up.
Next ,will begin the switchover of all the NTN.com pages to the twelveocklock.net design.
Third, will be trying to convince the few famouse people I know to see if they want to do some blogs for our site to add that something extra special. I've already approached Cam Clarke, voice of Classic Leonardo, and Wayne Grayson, voice of new Michelangelo. It would be kind of cool if we could get a pod cast going with those two,sort of like them hosting their own radio talk show :).

I would love to contribute to this, especially in terms of covering current DVD releases in the U.K of American animation such as Visionaries and Bucky O'Haire etc

Well, the forums are back. I also modified News Script so it now works with the change in URLS. Luckilly for me it was as simple as changing the captilization of one letter.
Krang, I'm wondering if you could set something else up for us. I'm going to need either a script, or an alteration to the present script. I would like two sub categories posted to the main page now, Site news, and Entertainment News. I would also like it if it where posted newspaper style, where a reader could click on the 'read more' button if the article is too long for the main page.
if this isn't too much to set up, LMK and I'll give y ou site access, or just let me know what needs to be done on my end and I'll get it done ASAP.
Also, I apologize to anyone who feels as if I've a bandoned the Turtles and started a general site. I am still interested in TMNT fandom, and will definetly be reporting heavilly on the subject. But this new site will allow me to point to other intrests of mine as well as turtles.
Hopefully you'll stick with us for the outcome...

Oh, and to people interested in reporting. I'm going to make anyone who wants to contribute a member of the News Section to start people off. If things go well that way, we'll give ya other access to the site..
I've never attempted a big venture like this before, so we're going to take it nice and slow at first :)

Sure, both of those could be added to the current script pretty easily. Just send me an email with the login details, the layout you would like to use for the two sections (side-by-side or one above the other), and an approximation of how long you want the news articles to be before they are cut off, and I'll take care of it as soon as possible.
