The Why I'm Leaving The Technodrome Thread

[STORMSHADOW__210]

#1 No moderators enforcing harassment rules...like zero.

#2 Technodrome members Peanut,Cure,The Stryker,Powder,Jester, andT uro606 making post that have no contributions to the actual discussion but purposely go out of their way to bait into thread war for amusement ,insult, and attack and create a general negative atmosphere on the entire site itself.

Note to site owner * If you ever are interested in selling site please make me an offer,i would be very interested for the soul purpose of banning the excessive number of trolls pushing good tmnt fans away from your site.

To any friends I've made here that don't frequent the video game sub forums, thanks for the good conversations :D

Peace out technodrome and any other members who feel the same about the general negative vibe created by these members, please speak up and let the staff know.

You want to buy the website to ban trolls? WTF?

[Peanut]

I like how I ruin the forums by disagreeing with you in a single thread. I hardly post outside that section, or converse with anyone not in there and I'm ruining the forums.

Is it 2005?

Also, I'd outbid you for the Drome if I had to. Nearly 12 years in this place and I'm not leaving now. I'm sure your piggy bank fund wouldn't be hard to beat out.

[Brodie]

Man, I hope Krang takes this guy up on his offer. He could make a cool four dollars.

[Cure]

Man, I hope Krang takes this guy up on his offer. He could make a cool four dollars.

I think Stormshadow has at LEAST six dollars. He has a girlfriend and everything!

[Brodie]

He could maybe pay Krang $20. Paid out over the course of four weeks. Starting in September, when he gets back to Middle School.

7th Grade, BIG MONEY.

[Leo656]

I love everyone.

What I love about this place is nobody ever leaves without slamming a door in a huff. It's as predictable as the morning dew, and yet, not quite as easy to look forward to.

[LeoNerdo]

This is the internet. Come on, man.

Who the **** is Turo606? If I find out someone's been knocking me off, I'm going to be pissed.

Ah aha best reply so far! :lol: :lol:

[Jester]

Man, even his only "friend" is getting a barb in.

[BubblyShell22]

Ah, gotta love the drama. You do know there's a thing called the Ignore list, right? You can put people you don't like on there, and you won't have to read their posts. Pretty simple solution.

[Candy Kappa]

Wait, who are you again, and why are you in such a hissy fit?

[Irishmile]

Made some good points some of you are more aggressive than you need to be... just sayin.

[愛]

He got mad because someone didn't like his thread. How horrifying!

See you tomorrow.

[Candy Kappa]

Where is this aggression? Honestly I have never seen anything from OP's mentioned list any aggressive posts that warrants bans or even a warning.

Someone should stop taking things so overly serious and understand the VG section is a different ball game then the rest of the boards.

[Zulithe]

I have spoken up about the negativity I see on display several times. You are not alone in being frustrated.

I wish you would not leave though. I still think there are a lot of great members here and the best thing you can do is contribute in the most positive way you can.

I can fail at this too. I've made comments here and there that I feel bad about afterwards. But I do try to treat others with respect and understanding. I make an effort to make friends, not enemies.

As far as I'm concerned you are welcome to post here anytime you want. Don't let this be the end.

[NinjaMan]

Sorry to see you leave man. I personally use the ignore feature for a few individuals here and makes the stay better.

[That Matt Guy]

This made me nostalgic for the great Forum War of 2004-2005.

Same to what both Ninja Man and Zulithe said. Block those that antagonize you and take some time to lurk before posting again. That will better your message board experience. Until you post again, take it easy,dude.

[Sword Slicin' Leo]

yeah, a few of the people in that thread say slick **** on here that i am sure they woundnt in real life, all's good behind the safety of a computer screen

[XERO]

Bring back some chips when you come back? Cool.

[tmnt transformer]

This made me nostalgic for the great Forum War of 2004-2005.

Great forum war? What happened then?

[XERO]

A lot of sh*t. It was like our version of East Coast vs. West Coast.

[tmnt transformer]

A lot of sh*t. It was like our version of East Coast vs. West Coast.

Somebody really dumb most likely.

I miss him/her......

[Cure]

Oh yeah, disagreements and jokes never happen outside of the internet.

[Krutch]

:lol: If you went with "Tell Me A Lie" I think I'd have to owe you a Snickers bar.

The One Direction or Shawn Michaels one?

[Archon_Turtle]

First time in a while I havent been called out in one of these. I clearly need to come around more.

[DonatelloFan]

Oh God, there's more members than that who are asses. You just haven't come across them yet.

[Nameless]

First time in a while I havent been called out in one of these. I clearly need to come around more.

tsk tsk your losing your touch.

[Fugitoid Jones]

I never get called out for anything :tcry:

There is a reason why ESRB doesn't rate online interactions. ;)

[Redeemer]

Who the **** is Turo606? If I find out someone's been knocking me off, I'm going to be pissed.

Hey Turo606 is an awesome guys dont talk crap about him!!!!!


But seriously bud just use the blocking feature, most of the members you listed are sarcastic and can be jerks, but like I said that is what a block feature is for.

[Leo656]

The One Direction or Shawn Michaels one?

Has to be the Shawn Michaels one, a piece of music so sappy that woodpeckers get diabetes just by hearing the opening notes.

[That Matt Guy]

Great forum war? What happened then?

The original fight started because Ai was made into a moderator and it all spiralled out of control from there. Krang shut the forum down for awhile. Everyone emerged from it as friends though, or at least on good terms.

Also, just re-read the first post of this thread. Jester? Really? He is one of the nicest guys this forum has ever had.

[愛]

I think the forum shutdown was the best thing to happen to this board, to be honest. We all had time to think about what the hell we were doing.

And haters gonna hate.

[AT-Man]

Is there a diagram of which members have been put to ignore list the most?

[Peanut]

This would be a great time to link to the Drome Wiki.

[MikeandRaph87]

Jester is one of the best on here. I am surprised he is included. I guess his sarcasm is not amusing to all. This guy should be made a Mod but we don't want a sequel.

Blocked diagram,I am curious of that. I asume mods can see that just as they can see who put a tag on any given thread. Too bad after x number of blocks accumulate banning is not an option.


Great Forum War? Now,that explains why I could not access this place around the time of Space Invaders/Worlds Collide.

[MikeandRaph87]

This would be a great time to link to the Drome Wiki.

That thing needs to have a serious update as far as member profiles.

[CyberCubed]

I've been here since 2004, almost an entire decade but I don't remember any stuff that happened back then. I mostly just remember discussing the 4kids cartoon at the time.

Hard to believe that everyone here was only in their teens around 10 years ago. Everyone went from 15-17 year olds living with their parents whining on message boards to 25-27 year old adults with slightly different priorities.

[愛]

I'm not nearly as mean anymore. If I can be honest? That's the most depressing thing about my life now. :cry:

[DonatelloFan]

Also, there's an ignore button for a reason. I have quite a few on it. That way, when they post anything, I don't see it at all. Just see a message saying that I've ignored them. That's the solution. People can be jack-asses online.

[tmnt transformer]

I definatly wasn't in my teens 10 years ago! :lol:

[gobo]

Also, just re-read the first post of this thread. Jester? Really? He is one of the nicest guys this forum has ever had.
He's had a lot of grumpy old man moments lately.

[NSP]

Two words. IGNORE BUTTON. Ive already used it a few times....and Im sure it wont be the last. haha

[MikeandRaph87]

Yeah, I got that impression when I scowered through all the pages about two year ago. The exsistance of it amsues me but I can see where the fun would drain in creating such a thing. I would add to it but I am afraid bias would set in especially when it comes to posters I got such high opinion of and a couple on my block list I have such a negative perception of. If each member can commit to adding his or her own it would work out. We know ourselves and mb history better than anyone.

[Sofistocat]

Kinda funny how stormshadows point got proved in 5 days... anyone who has been here longer than someone else and thinks they have more clout is not worth paying attention to, unless your going into war. The short time I've been here has lead me to see what SShadow is talking about. I will say that some of the names he dropped are EXTREMELY passionate about TMNT, therefore have a larger emotional pool to draw from. I pay attention and respect what some of them say and laugh at the rest.

I'm anti-ignore because you should either deal with it or not. There is no ignore button in real life, and despite how real some peepz think this forum is, it's nothing more than a network of people with similar interests. I feel you shadow, but if you thought a dent was gonna be made by this thread, seriously re-evaluate, and conclude that for the most part, that the world is an ugly place.

This hypertext transfer protocol application is what you make of it...

[Jester]

Also, just re-read the first post of this thread. Jester? Really? He is one of the nicest guys this forum has ever had.
Man, I got you fooled... :D

[愛]

This thread got dark and edgy all of a sudden.

[Jester]

He's had a lot of grumpy old man moments lately.
Hey...GET OFF MY LAWN!!!

Wait...

[That Matt Guy]

I think the forum shutdown was the best thing to happen to this board, to be honest. We all had time to think about what the hell we were doing.

Yep.

And here we are almost a decade later and you are still a moderator. All that whining and b*tching I did really was misguided as you clearly were the right choice from the get go.

[Cure]

Where's Barky and GK? I feel like they should be posting in this thread.

It seems like Barkworm only ever shows up for E3.

[愛]

Yep.

And here we are almost a decade later and you are still a moderator. All that whining and b*tching I did really was misguided as you clearly were the right choice from the get go.

I appreciate that, Matt.

damnhooligan and Mecha Cow should be here, too. :(

[That Matt Guy]

Don't forget Voltron, Anarky, and Sewer Bull or whatever he changed his name to.

[Cure]

Yup, them, too.

Voltron posts every once in a while. Anarky's just straight up gone. Sewer Bull came back but hasn't posted again.

[愛]

I saw Voltron at my wedding. He's doing quite well, just busy with real life stuff. Trying to make it in this world and all that.

[XERO]

Eh, I don't ignore anybody. I just take whatever is here. I've been here too long to start ignoring people, anyway. Not to mention I've literally grown to know most of the peeps on here.

I'll be real here; Peanut, Cure, Stryker and I have had our issues and disagreements in the past. Hell, we still do sometimes, but I've known them for years. I've learned more from them in the Video Game Section and Wrestling Thread than I can gather on my own.

If people want to ignore anyone here, it's your call, but you might be losing more than gaining anything. It'd just be a hollow discussion with ghosts that doesn't make any sense.

And I agree on the Jester-being-negative thing. That's just crazy. If being negative translates to keeping things level and not too damn escalated, then put me in that category, too.

[papa_smurf73]

MASS PANDEMONIUM!!!

Just wanted to contribute. :)

... Yep

[Peanut]

I was an asshole for no reason as a teenager and I'm fully willing to admit that, but people GOTS to admit I'm waaaay less of an asshole now. If I'm a dick these days it's usually to someone like animal, or because I have an awful sense of humor and the Internet can't properly convey tone.

Also, I'm real sorry to everybody, but games are my thing and talking about them on the Drome is pretty much what I've done on the Internet for over a decade. Cut me some slack when I want to weed out the f*cking clowns in there talking out their ass. VG Section keeps it real.

[XERO]

If anything, the VG Section is the probably most infamous area in the Technodrome. Peeps don't f*ck around in there.

[XERO]

I don't visit the Comic Section often, but I'll take your word for it.

[That Matt Guy]

Congrats on the marriage Ai.

And Peanut, maybe it's because I was also a massive prick on here along time ago and didn't pay attention but I remember you being a lot nicer back in 2003-2005 and then you slowly turned into a cynical bastard after that. Putting up with stupid people will do that to you though.

[愛]

Thanks, Matt.

And Peanut, I always remember you being a total asshole. <3

[XERO]

People grow up, man.

[Peanut]

It was probably just the age thing. I think everyone gets a little bit f*cking obnoxious when they get out of school and think they know everything. Takes some time to come to grips with what the real world is like.

Also, as far as assholes from that era go, I always thought you were one of the ones who was an asshole to the right people and at the right times. Probably not saying much coming from one complete dick to another.

[BubblyShell22]

Well, my advice to this poster is to just not post in the VG section anymore if that's what's bothering you. Leaving altogether is pretty dumb considering that the good people definitely outweigh any of the jerks you feel are against you.

And I'm also confused as to why Jester was listed. I've never seen him as a jerk either.

Sure, some of the members have their a**hole moments, but for the most part, they aren't that bad as long as you catch them on a good day.

[Voltron]

Truth: I feel a little let down that I wasn't mentioned in the initial post. . . :(

[BubblyShell22]

Awww, poor Voltron. Have a cookie. It'll make you feel better. *hands a plate of cookies to Voltron*

[That Matt Guy]

Also, as far as assholes from that era go, I always thought you were one of the ones who was an asshole to the right people and at the right times. Probably not saying much coming from one complete dick to another.

There were a lot more dumbasses around back then so it wasn't hard.

[zkarlette]

I actually miss the old times, the GD forum was a lot of fun back then.

[That Matt Guy]

Was going through old posts and turned up this gem,

http://forums.thetechnodrome.com/showthread.php?t=9246

A good portion of it is Ai and TMB being worried that Japan would come to an end.

You know we need have a straight up Technodrome reunion thread.

[Peanut]

That thread...god damn. We used stupid emoticons way more back then.

Also, that thread isn't so far away from being 10 years old. F*ck.

[愛]

That thread was hard to read...

And it seems Peanut used to hate me back then. That cuts deep, man.

[Peanut]

Sure, buddy! Those were the days we'd spend hours online doing nothing but quoting ATHF and talking mad yang about video games. You know you love someone when you can actively **** on them and know your friendship can't be tarnished.

[Cure]

You know we need have a straight up Technodrome reunion thread.

Do it. If anyone can make it, it's you.

Otakus got the business in that thread.

[愛]

I still quote ATHF all the time, man. I have a few friends from college who watched the show as much as me, and it's good fun.

And those were good times, my friend. It's a shame we all had to grow up.

[Voltron]

A reunion thread? How many of the old guys have we lost? DH isn't here; I hardly see Barkworm or Sewer Bull around. Hannah and Doom disappeared. Anarky. . . TMB. . .Jo Dawn. . . E5Raph.

[That Matt Guy]

^and Ryona, but... yeah.

Anarky is still around somewhere, just busy with other projects. He is the only person from the forum that I have as a friend on facebook.

I wouldn't know how to contact anyone to get a reunion thread going since everyone is either afraid/hates me.

[XERO]

All this nostalgia... we've had some good times back then.

[Type 97 Chi-ha]

I really miss Buslady. :(

[Cure]

Make a thread dedicating some obscure web comic about politics to her. That'll bring her back.

[That Matt Guy]

It must be weird for you being the the only person left on the forum who was born when Eisenhower was president.

[STORMSHADOW__210]

Been on vacation with my kids at the Wisonsin Dells and thought I would check in here. Im sure it will only be a matter of time before someone post a "well, well, look whos back,i knew he was crying wolf" post, but i wanted to thank all the civilized members who saw my point and for those that just "assumed" and judged why i was upset here is a link to exactly what happened....

http://forums.thetechnodrome.com/showthread.php?t=43554

*note:..it appears many have ignored,or skip the introduction where i clearly say please add YOUR list of games,or disagree. Disagreeing doesnt mean going out of your way to talk **** or pick a fight in a negative manner.

For those that took this thread as a oppurtunity to continue the harrassment...all you accomplished was proving my point and looking like a jack ass. Thank you, Perhaps when the season 2 of nick tmnt or the bay film hits i will return to talk shop in those specific threads as it appears to be a much better class of members. Also for the "its the internet,get over it" post...all i can say is yes that is true,BUT shouldnt we as a tmnt fan community set this sites community a bit higher than a site that has members who go out of there way to harass,bully, insult for things as petty as grammar or simply go out of their way to be a jerk rather than contribute to the subject thread?

[愛]

That's a twist, someone who said they were leaving actually came back? Brilliant writing.

[Cure]

I tooooooootally didn't see his return coming.

No.

Its a series about giant mutated animals geared towards (mainly) children. Why would that encourage people to be more adult?

[BubblyShell22]

I knew he wouldn't stay away long. So much for this thread, huh? He shouldn't have even made it in the first place if he was going to come back. And he did state in that other thread that he would come back when the new season of TMNT comes back. Hypocritical much?

[愛]

I sometimes wish upon a star that I'll become a part of this mystical "better class of members" group.

[BubblyShell22]

Well, I don't know why anyone would have a problem with you, Ai. Then again, this person seems to have a lot of issues.

[愛]

I have some enemies, but most of them left at this point. Where's Kid Icarus when you need 'em? I remember Anarky had some hatred for me because of the whole mod thing.

And really, I hold no hatred for anyone on this board. I never have for the almost 10 years I've been here.

[That Matt Guy]

I've been looking for those guys for 10 years.

I think the saddest thing about this entire thing is that this whiner has kids. Super sad for them.

I'm going to be a horrible father. Gonna yell at my kids like "U MAD?" "Why are you not finished with the first Zelda? GET BACK IN THERE! THE OLD MAN TRUSTED YOU WITH HIS SH*TTY WOODEN SWORD!"

[BubblyShell22]

I think the saddest thing about this entire thing is that this whiner has kids. Super sad for them.

Yeah, he's a horrible role model for them if he can't take constructive criticism which was all that thread really was. I didn't see anything overly harsh really when I looked at it.

Also, I'd outbid you for the Drome if I had to. Nearly 12 years in this place and I'm not leaving now. I'm sure your piggy bank fund wouldn't be hard to beat out.

You guys gotta admit it though, some of you do get pretty hardcore and even downright some shut when it comes to certain aspects of the franchise.

I remember someone posted how some other sure or whatever mentioned how were all whiney and bash and complain about everything that's different in the world of tmnt and most of you were like 'how dare they say that' and I'm like 'ummm they're kinda right'.

[The Stryker]

What the hell are you talking about.

[Voltron]

Way to go, Peanut. You broke Coola Yagami.

I'll edit it later. I hate my phone's autocorrect.
