The big 2-0!

[Krang]

Today is not only Halloween, it is also The Technodrome's twentieth anniversary! It's hard to believe that we've been around for so many years, but we really appreciate all the support from our forum moderators, forum members, site staff, site contributors, and all of our visitors. Thank you so much for sticking with us and helping us reach this milestone!

Great.

Krang, please change my username to Donatello Does Machines

Can we get vBulletin 5 now? :)

[TommyT]

Well since nobody else is saying it, I will.

Thank you Krang. 20 years is a millennium in internet years.

Pay no mind to the saltys above.

[Andrew NDB]

Who are you?

[oldmanwinters]

Thank you Krang and to all you who keep this place alive!

This placed survived the death of fansite forums and the rise of social media. Hard to believe a site from 1999 will still be going in 2020.

Do the young teens of today even register to forums anymore? Nowadays the younger generation is all on twitter or YouTube.

Happy Birthday the Drome! not been long but glad I got the time I did, thank you Krang.

Hard to believe a site from 1999 will still be going in 2020.

Especially a message board.

[IMJ]

Especially a message board.

That is a pretty legit milestone. Especially beginning in '99 when specific forums were essentially a new phenomena.

I remember chillin' in the computer lab at school back in '97 or so. People would log in to this sort of bland "forum" with a yellow background and have completely unguided conversations for no other reason than the ability to speak to someone from another country. You can imagine how those conversations went.

So thank you for keeping this place up and running for some great people to chat TMNT!

Honestly had the revival of the early 2000's of TMNT with Volume 4 and the 2k3 cartoon not have happened, this place probably would have died off. I think a lot of people have forgotten that time was just people in their teens being nostalgic about the original cartoon and trying to hunt down VHS tapes and old comics, but it wasn't until the early 2000's the fandom really took a spike.

Hell, I remember most people originally registered to this forum because of the 4kids cartoon and people were so surprised TMNT came back to TV with a new cartoon.

Thank you Krang! Happy 20th Anniversary to The Technodrome!

[Navin Johnson]

Thank you, Krang

Happy Birthday. Have a Jack-O'-Lantern. Keep it away from the mutagen.

This is actually a very good point. The longevity of these boards are also a testimony to the adaptability of the IP across time.

Thanks Krang! I look forward to buying the 'Drome a beer next year. :tgrin:

Hey there, Boss.

[Papenbrook]

Happy birthday, Technodrome! :D

I would like to thank all of the moderators and administrators for keeping this forum active.

Stay strong!

[IndigoErth]

Happy belated 20th! That's pretty remarkable for a forum.

[Wesley]

Happy belated birthday, Technodrome. Still one of the best Internet forums ever.

[MikeandRaph87]

Happy birthday to the connector of Turtlefandom. Its hard to believe it started in the 4 year long dead era and is still running pretty strong despite the operators not being around any longer.

[TheCanadiandrome]

congrats on the huge milestone, and despite this place becoming so unbareable to be around lately, it's still a big deal

[Mysticwarrior7]

Happy belated 20th🎉 Sorry for the late reply, but very glad to be apart of it:tgrin:

A very belated Happy Anniversary to the Drome!!!

[ssjup81]

I kinda feel bad I wasn't around to say Happy Anniversary. >< Hopefully I'll be around for the 30th...or at least the 25th. ^^

Congrats man. Hope your well during all this craziness.

[SonOfZog]

I am glad this was effectively bumped, as I missed this originally. This is great achievement for thetechnodrome and made me look back on the last 20 years, during which thetechnodrome was reliably thriving. Hope it continues, thanks team!

[Nickokapo]

A very belated 20th birthday to the 'drome. This was like a virtual second home of sorts to me ;w; and one of the best and most fun meeting places...it was a huge part of my teenage years...it has a special place in my heart.
Here's to 20 more x'D

[Dejablue]

Can I have some virtual cake please? Yes I just came for the food...

[DarkFell]

So, no Happy 21st thread for the Technodrome, huh?

Oh well - it is officially at a legal age to have a drink now. :tthumbsu:
