Expect a new website soon!
Kinda bittersweet, but www.ninjaturtles.com as we knew it is gone.
It's under maintenance as we speak, and I can confirm it was working early this morning. I'm excited to see what they do with it... great time to be a Turtles fan. |

I'm excited about it, but I think I'm probably more upset. Mirage, how I miss it already (don't get me wrong, I can't wait to see what's coming).

Wow...well, to be expected I suppose. I'm pretty confident they will do something pretty cool with it - let's hope! It would be awesome for them to have lots of info on past incarnations of the TMNT as well as plenty of media/links, etc, so new fans are able to get to know everything the TMNT are and have been (and not have the site be 100% devoted to being a current show marketing channel).

The site will likely only be about the Nick cartoon.
I seriously doubt any info on the Mirage comics, old cartoons, or even the IDW comics will be there. |

I could see them having a section for the IDW comic... maybe. And possibly a brief overview of TMNT history, but nothing too in-depth.

Its a shame the old site was trashed. I loved how it had summaries for all the comics and cartoon episodes, as well as pictures of all the toys.
Before I actually bought all the comics I used to read the summaries of them on the site just to see what happened in them. It was a great reference when I was younger. I actually had been visiting the site since 1997. I remember back then they were hyping up the Next Mutation...lol. |

I remember those days. When I was 12 or so, I spent like a whole Saturday going through each comic synopsis. I thought they were the sh*t, but had no way of getting them.

I started to buy the comics around 2001/2002 when Volume 4 was starting, so I decided to go backwards.
First I got all the Image series, then Volume 2, then I went back and tried to get all of Volume 1. Additionally I had some Archie issues from my childhood but there was a large chunk I never had. Luckily back in the early 2000's almost every comic was available to buy on ninjaturtles.com. I actually bought the entire Image series from them, which I am glad I did as they were all sold out sometime after. |

I am glad that I have the site's content mostly saved to my hard-drive.
However, it was convenient to still have the old site around to pull up quick references of episode listings and descriptions. But... it IS time for a new, revamped website. Let's hope Nick creates some nice for the long haul. That's probably a safe bet. When it comes to business and marketing it's pretty much all about "The Now," without much regard for the past.

As a side note, I think it's kinda humorous when people assume they know all about promotion/marketing when they don't necessarily work in that industry.

The site is to promote the new Nick show.
Nick doesn't even own the original series, Lionsgate still holds the rights. |
