When i joined back in '03 everybody was a fan of the old toon (from their childhood im guessing) my question is its 8 years later did the current member base find their way to the turtles from the 4kids era or are we all in our early to late twenties, (OS vets)?

So, which series (movie?) brought you here?

I came here for the 25th anniversery. I'm 20, & was introduced to the turtles via the OT.

The 2k3 series was in full swing when I joined, but the OT is what made me a fan...so...

EVERYTHING!

I'm 24, my first taste of TMNT was through the OT, when I was a wee lad of around 3 years old. Been hooked ever since. Grew up buying/enjoying the comics, OT, and the movies. I came here when I did a search for TMNT forums back when TMNT was just seeing release.

I came here in 2004, the 4kids series was in its second season at the time.

The Mirage comics. A lifelong TMNT fan, I had fallen away from the fandom as I got older, only to find some colour TMNT books of the first dozen or so comics, back in 2003ish. I started collecting them, I picked up some vol 4, heard there was going to be a new cartoon and toy line, and just dove straight back in, with my collecting. Its mostly about the comics for me though!

I signed up when the 2k3 series started, in order to comment on the new episodes.

The OT series and having an interest in the Mirage Comics. I wish I'd known about this site, though, years ago.

I came here, because the 2k7 film, '84 comics, and the news about the upcoming 2k12 series brought me here. Already, I'm excited because of Comic Con coverage.:tgrin:

Grew up on the OT series and the first two films! :tgrin: (Yeah I skipped the third one, even as a kid it didn't look right, hehe).

I was lurking here in 2002, back when I got re-aquainted with the Nintendo games and the first movie. I was psyched out of my mind when I saw that they were making a new show.

It's so weird how that "new show" is already years past its finale now, makes me feel old :P

I first came here while deciding where to plant my OT ep list, compiled from the library of congress (http://thetechnodrome.com/loceplist.shtml). I had no interest in sticking around for discussion until 2K3 showed up.

The OT is what made me a fan but it was the 2007 movie that got me excited about the franchise again and a random google search brought me here

It wasn't the series per say; it was more of the Playmates toy line that brought me here. I have forgotten many things like certain characters and storylines and I stumbled upon this forum while looking for answers to my questions regarding toy memorabilia.:D

I didn't necessarily join for a specific version of the Turtles. I'm just a huge TMNT fan. I was a child of the 80's. When I first saw the original cartoon, I wasn't a huge fan of it. I absolutely loved the first live movie that came out, and that's what made me a TMNT fan. Afterwards, I became a fan of the original cartoon. But I spent years wanting a cartoon version like the one that eventually came in 2003. I couldn't have been happier when that day finally came. And another oustanding movie waas released about four years after that.

I'm 27, I was a product of 'Turtle-Mania' when it originally happened, so it was the OT, the toys and the movies that made me a fan. I came upon this site back in 03 when I think I was looking for more info on the comics. I came just at the right time, cause I then discovered the info about the 2K3 series.

The old toon brought me to thetechnodrome.

I came here looking for some information about volume 4 when Leo traveled to the battle nexus and have stuck around ever since. So that is what "brought" me here although I was a fan of the OT first and watched the 2k3 series as well. I never would have read the mirage comics had it not been for the OT when I was a kid.

The OT for me tooo. I had fallen out of the Turtles for a while when I joined. I was aware of the new show and had watched it some, but I think I joined because I had started collecting the dvd's of the OT at that time and was excited for the 2k7 film :P.

For me it goes back to 1987 I remember going to the store with the five dollars I earned for a good report card and I was planning to buy an Superman or Batman action figure then I saw the TMNT display in between the Marvel and DC universe toys. Didn't know what TMNT were but I brought Leonardo anyway because he was something new, he wore blue and he had swords. Then that Sunday afternoon I was playing with Leonardo while watching tv and around 12 or 2 in the afternoon the local station aired the first five episodes of the classic series in movie form and I got hooked.

While the classic series along with the toys and the Archie comic series made me a fan. I enjoy the 2k3 series because it brought the turtles back to me and outside the fast forward seasons I watched it every Saturday morning.

I'd say the original cartoon and the Archie comics are what brought me here. I was just getting into TMNT for the second time in my life and I started checking out all these different fan sites.
