Good people of The Technodrome Forum!

[WhitefinDolphin]

I've been a Ninja Turtle fan for about 5 months, and as much as it's been a short time, I've grown to love this series very quickly.

I never watched any of the Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles as a kid since it was one of many T.V. shows that were prohibited. While I wasn't "allowed" to watch this show (due to reasons still unknown) I saw a lot of merchandise and I heard a lot of conversations about this series during my childhood. In fact, about 15 years ago there was a house down the street from us where I saw a giant wooden hand-painted cut out of Michelangelo in the front yard. As much as I wasn't a Ninja Turtle fan back then, I thought it was a really cool lawn decoration. I can't say I was ever all that curious about TMNT to begin with though, since I felt like the turtles looked weird - especially from the first 3 movies.

Well, it was around the time I met my husband Retro-Specs (http://forums.thetechnodrome.com/member.php?u=10433) who tried introducing me to the Ninja Turtles a few years ago, sadly the fandom didn't catch on to me back then. Now, about 5 months ago we were invited to a friend's place to watch the first 5 episodes of the '87 Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles, I accepted his offer to my husbands surprise and I have no regrets.

Since my husband and I are both fans of TMNT now, we've been collecting a few Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtle items here and there, and we've also grown fond of Nickelodeon's Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles. We're also hoping to do some fan art in the future, once we're finished moving and settled in to our new home.

I'm looking forward to having some great TMNT discussions here.

Hey, WhitefinDolphin. Welcome to the Drome. It's nice that you and your hubby are both members here and are sharing your love of the fandom. You'll love it here, and I can't wait to see your fan art when you get around to it.

Salmutations, eh! ^_^

Hello and Welcome to the Drome! :D

[Refractive Reflections]

Welcome WhitefinDolphin to the Technodrome Forums! :):D

So you and "Retro-Specs" are a couple huh? ;) It's gonna be interesting to have both people in a couple here, since usually it's only one of them registered onto the forums.

You've certainly found the best place to talk, speculate, and debate about anything TMNT related. :)

If you have fan art, be sure to post of it in the "Fan Works Discussion", I'm sure we would like to take a look at your work in the future!

Thanks BubblyShell22 for your warm welcome! Yeah, me too! I can't wait to draw and share some fan-art with you guys. I've only been practicing every now and then whenever I get the chance, but I haven't had much time lately to plan anything out.

Salmutations, eh! ^_^

Salmutations to you too! :D

Thank you very much JYX! Yep, we are a couple indeed. It was after he made his account I guess I started checking out this site on my own. I grew pretty curious about it since there's so many interesting TMNT discussions on here. The more I thought about it the more I desired to register my own account. It's a bit of a dive into cold water for me since I've never been on a forum site before.

Thanks for your encouragement, I'm looking forward to having some great discussions and sharing some fan-art in the future.

I thought I wouldn't receive such a warm welcome from a forum site, never have I been so wrong.

hello & welcome to the drome!

Thank you very much mrmaczaps! :)

Thank you very much Mona_Lisa! Yeah, it's pretty cool that we are able to share an interest for the series together. We've had some great discussions and well as shared some laughs over the fandom. :)

Really? Haha, I'm sure with some positive encouragement he might grow to like the show like you do. Do any of his friends or co-workers like the show too? Perhaps a Ninja Turtles night could be arranged? :D

Welcome Turtle Couple!!! Enjoy your stay! Hope to see your fan art!!!
Haha, thank you very much sankeweek101! Thanks for your encouragement, we look forward to sharing our ideas and our art. :)

Cool. Now watch all 193 episodes of the OT, all 156 episodes of the 2k3 series, and the first season of the Nick cartoon, and all 4 movies.

Then you have about 200+ comics to get into. :lol:

[Refractive Reflections]

To follow along what Machias Banshee said earlier about being new to the forum Whitefindolphin,

Here's just a few pointers being new to the forum, just so you won't get off on the wrong foot. (I have a few experiences to tell about doing so.:lol:)

*Before you post a new thread, be sure to use the "Search" link above to find the topic you are looking for. 98% of the time it's already been talked about and already has a topic, plus it will help you to avoid the overzealous "neighborhood watch" users who sarcastically (sometimes harshly) remind you to do so.

*Typically with most replies to any thread, the more sarcastic members are more prompt to give their opinions than the more "relaxed" members here.

*90-95% of the members here are generally decent people, but of course, as Machias Banshee said before you have a few weird and abrasive ones.

Look forward to seeing you and your husband around the forums Whitefindolphin! :):D

Totally bodacious notion dude! Haha, I'll be keeping that in mind. Thank you for your welcome gobo. :)

Hi Donatello19! Thanks for the Stitch welcome!

Hah! Well, I'm almost halfway there already...

I've completed watching the OT, and I've seen all the released episodes of the Nick cartoon. In the meantime while I'm waiting for the next Nickelodeon episode to air, I've been watch the 2k3 episodes in order, right now I'm on "The Shredder Strikes Back". Somewhere between waiting periods I've seen the 4 movies and Turtles Forever too.

As for the comics, I haven't gone that far yet, but I'm sure once I find a way to read them I'll take a peek. :)

Ah, good to know and thanks for your advice. I can imagine a site like this may get users like that. Of course I'd want to proceed with caution whenever I post anything on the internet. Hah, yeah I know what you mean by "the more sarcastic members are more prompt to give their opinions than the more "relaxed" members here". While this is my first time as a user on a forum site, I have experience in some other social sites such as DeviantArt, where I've met plenty of odd people. I'm apparently much more fair when dealing with online conflicts then the average internet user is, at least so I've been told by a few people.

Thanks for your welcome and your encouragement. Very appreciated. :)
