Well I'll give you that. I first read Mirage on the old ninjaturtles website. I found out about it around 2002-2003 or so, I think. I had watched the movies before, and had always found it odd how the origins of the Turtles, Shredder and Splinter were different in the movie. I was really SHOCKED when I found out that April was originally a lab assistant in the comics, and that being a reporter was a FW thing.

Definitely a different online climate, though. Not nearly as much info or as many resources, etc.
I didn't correct you because I figured that was what you meant. Also, I personally didn't start using the internet until around September 2000 or so.
