What do you predict in 40-50 years (around 2054 to 2064) for these forums?
 

I've noticed how many of the older members (10+ years) have been here since the early 2000s, so just for humorous kicks (or seriously if you want to), what do all of you predict in the distant future after 40-50 years here (about the year 2054 to 2064)? For yourself, the Technodrome Forums, and the TMNT franchise.

Could you imagine being a senior citizen and still being on here? :lol: I've noticed how the topics of conversation have shifted with age where now there's more parental/upbringing/career topics here; so... should we expect a host of geriatric issues (medicare, retirement issues, many more health issues, complaining about the younger generations) by then? :lol:

Will the TMNT franchise last? Will the Technodrome Forums survive? Will the flame wars still go on, and the Disintegrator Unit be busy as always? :lol: Tell us what you predict.

Who knows, this thread might end up being a time capsule of sorts...;)

Well, I'm already almost halfway there, so.... Kidding. Seriously, though, I'm nearing 40, which is at the older end of the spectrum for fans, it seems. But yeah, I can see myself still being here for a long time, assuming this site is even still around then. Who knows what the net will evolve into by then? Maybe we'll all be chatting via holographic projections like in Wall-E!!

Hopefully it will be as awesome as always.

Who knows, I might still be on here.

But will Cybercubed still be on here?:P

In that case, i think this thread should be stickied

It won't exist!

Every single thing discussed and squabbled about on this forum will be completely pointless and forgotten to time! Hell. Most of the stuff brought up this year will be forgotten by the end of the month!

It depends on who's still living by that time. I hope to still be alive by then, and if I am, then I'll still hang around. But if not, then I don't know what the future holds for this forum. And honestly, I'm not worried about it either. I think the best thing we can do is just enjoy the ride as long as it lasts.

I agree that the internet will have evolved and this website a distant memory of us all. If most of are alive and well and this place actually exsist I will bet any takers $100 USD in 2054 dollars that Jester will be here pushing for Rob Paulsen's grandson to be the latest voice of Raphael while riping Cybercubed good all in fun.

Not taking THAT bet! You have a Delorean with a Flux Capacitor, don't you?

I honestly think almost all internet websites from now will be gone or erased by then.

I really love Ninja Turtles so the only things that could possibly keep me away from this site forever is:

If I die
If there is no more internet and/or if this website shuts down by the 2050's/60's

If I'm still a Technodrome member decades from now, my post count will probably be in the 20,000's by then.

Threads from 50 years into the future:

"Congratulations Panonni1 On 10 Million Posts."

"RIP Bill Clinton."

"RIP Oprah Winfrey."

"RIP Justin Beiber."

"How Would You Like To See Volume IV Conclude?"

The internet will evolve into an omnipotent being that resembles Zordon.

I really doubt that this place and most internet message boards will still be around by then. Hell, who knows what will happen to the internet itself.

tmntmikey23 will be able to write a sentence we can all understand :P


..........no offends :lol:

Skynet will have developed its own mind. It will have destroyed most of humanity. And our collections :ohwell: .

It's a bit of a harrowing thought to think of how there will be so many older members and in fourty years I'll only be in my fifties. :lol: Well, I predict that I'll have a toy shelf of nothing but TMNT stuff and that I'll still post here reguarly, even if no one else does.

I've told Krang before and I'll state it publicly again - if he ever wanted to get out of Drome owning I would take it off his hands in a heartbeat.

I'd keep it open until I f*king DIED! An even then my will would plainly state my heir would keep it open! DROME FOREVER!

No internet? What would I do with my free time?! :o

Playmate Toys should be able to sell software for 3D printers to produce most of the figures they made. Maybe there will be a duplicator that can make endless amount of anything.

Nah, I'd rather have a Hasbro and NECA software to make their figures.

IMO , both Bieber ad Culkin will be dead in a few yrs.....there's a limit to how much the body can take :(

Whether the site will remain isn't as important as whether the site will be active and if it is, will it be a hive of obnoxious pricks? After all, you either die a hero or you live long enough to see yourself become the villain. The users' overall attitudes and the environment surrounding a community will change over time. Most older sites I've been apart of grow more and more closed-off to new blood as they age.

Idk. I think it would be cool if this site and some others I frequent stayed around that long. I kind of don't think they will though.

This forum will probably be done by 2030. And that's being generous.

Almost everyone in the first few pages is already gone from the forums, case in point. And that was only 10 years ago.

I think forums as an overall whole will be gone. Whatever the next social media platform/voice chat sites are around those times will be the main go to.

Probably just more reboots in the same succession that is/was the average messenger, Skype, Discord... Largely just the same thing every time with a new look. And further dumbed down Reddit/Twitter type stuff. All of it just long text strings of babbling and few to no solid conversations to look back on, or even reopen the conversation, like you can do with forums.

2054 is 30 years from now, like 1994. Both Laird and Eastman probably gone. Celebrating (?) TMNT's 70th anniversary. Most of the musicians and actors we grew up with gone. Our parents and most of our family members gone and some of our best friends gone as well. Lot of loss to deal with and health issues becoming a part of our daily life.
Will comics still be around? I guess so. Any TMNT iteration still going? Probably not. What kind of device we will be using to access the web? Maybe glasses or some wearable stuff. Maybe something interacting directly with our brain.

Dang… that ****ed me up lol

Yeah. The new children of that time will be calling the things we're discussing here as "retro". Neuralink will implant the replies as a screen like in VR where you can talk instead of type. After all, facetime and video calling first appeared in Demolition Man. Now, we do it everyday. Physical forums as this will be obsolete.

Hell some of it won't be retro anymore, that'll be antique. :tlol:

Exactly! The 80s things we are celebrating here now regarding TMNT will be the antique things at hand.

Man, that's deep.

I suspect it'll either be me or Cubed shooting the breeze debating which one of us is the one to turn off the lights and post dead last:P

I hang out on the discord, which started life as a tumbleweed district and still functions as one.
