How did you find out about 'The Technodrome'?
 
Yeah, I'm so smart and original, that I came up with this amazing topic.

Anyways,,

It all happened..sometime I don't remember. Probably last December. I heard about a new TMNT cartoon.. blah blah blah.. I searched Ninja Turtles into a search engine. I came across a couple sites, and one had a bunch of links. I just clicked on the Technodrome and guess what happened next?


XXX Hardcore Nudity!


Well, that was in my other window. What actually happened was, it went to the site, and I joined the forums. :)

When I heard about the new toon(yes, I heard about it pretty late) I typed "TMNT+Forum" into google, and this is the first place that popped up!

Brodie 10-01-2003 03:09 PM

I actually heard about it from PWeddy. I thought it was some stupid forum, for geeks and nerds. And I was a normal over at Under Manhattan, and when Fugitoid stopped updating I shifted over here. What did I find? A cool looking forum with geeks and nerds :trazz:

Mondo J. Gecko 10-01-2003 03:18 PM

heard about the new show.... looked up Turtles on google found this site joined the site forum (after I watched the first season of Turtles, just in case it sucked like next mutation)

Jephael 10-01-2003 03:18 PM

I wasn't interested in forums up until August of last year when I joined Mikey QM's forum. Then after hearing so much about this forum from HT and Kali, I knew I had to sign up!

That sounds like a Ad.. :lol:

I bought the Collected Books some time around the beginning on 2002. Read them after a while. Decided to check for some TMNT-related sites (which I remember doing some years before that, but back then it seemed like every TMNT-link I clicked on was broken or lead to a un-informative or boring page) I pretty quickly found this board, lurked around from now and then without saying anything, and registred in the autumn.

Kid Icarus 10-01-2003 03:54 PM

I actually don't remember. It was just... one day there wasn't thetechnodrome.com, and then the next there was.

I think it might have happend some time around when Mirage vol4 #6 came out though.

kyabetsu 10-01-2003 04:04 PM

i was actually main-lining RANMA 1/2 fanfiction at the time...

then i found there was fanfic for the TMNT, too! HEAVEN! i started chillin' around fanfiction.net ... whose censorship policies have recently made me lose the faith in them... but yeah around there i found people talking about the NTML mailing list... and the TMNTNAUGHTI site... and the place they called the technodrome. go figure.

and it all started with anime.

...mmmm.... anime....

but yeah. after i found i could game here... rpg stuff... yeah there was no turning back.

Same with me. Well, besides the hardcore nudity stuff.

Taloniss 10-01-2003 04:23 PM

Google + TMNT = Technodrome

malignant 10-01-2003 04:30 PM

Back when i heard about the cartoon....i did a search just like every one else...and obviously, technodrome came up, woot !

Reznorite420 10-01-2003 04:46 PM

Damn...am I the only one that found out about this place NOT out of interest in the new series?

Anywho, I was trying to find some sound clips to use for my now aborted TMNT Doom 2 project and I stumbled upon the sound clip page for the site. After downloading a few clips, I actually took the time to notice the site itself. The first thing to enter my mind was, "Wow! For something that's only a fan-site, this place sure looks professional!" I had decided to browse the site some more. Lo and behold, what do I notice? A link to a forum! How could I pass this up? This was the first TMNT fan-site I had found that actually had a pro quality to it (probably because it IS a pro site), and I figured it was my only chance to find an online TMNT fan community worth staying with. As you can see, it obviously is considering my time spent here and postcount ;)

That's my story.

Machias Banshee 10-01-2003 04:51 PM

Heh, I came here during myfirst year of college. I'm in my thrid year now, so I was definitely here before ideas for the new cartoon even existed... :D

*shrugs* I was watching Michelangelo and an old forum buddy spamming around, and thought, "why not? I'll probly post once, and forget about this place"...


heh, almost 12,000 posts later.. :goofygri:

damnhooligan 10-01-2003 04:56 PM

I can't rightly remember how I stumbled upon this site, but it likely started with a half empty bottle of Jack Daniels, a German phonebook, and my Google search bar, as do most my adventures.

Nturtle 10-01-2003 05:14 PM

I found this website from Ninja Turtles Network, after they stopped hosting eps there I joined this forum to complain, preety stupid huh? :P

Aaron 10-01-2003 05:14 PM

I had been looking for a TMNT forum for some time and I found the Technodrome. And of course I joined.

That Matt Guy 10-01-2003 05:59 PM

I don't remember, something to do with the old figures probably.

Ahem..

Peanut 10-01-2003 06:53 PM

Hmmm. All I remember is stumbling upon a site about the TMNT quite some years ago. There was a small forum where I lurked about. Then came the newer forum. I joined...started spamming it up...and I was hooked!

JameO 10-01-2003 07:07 PM

Well Michaelangelo told me about a forum with Ninja Turtles and I just had to join! And I love it.

Voltron 10-01-2003 07:08 PM

well it was the damndest thing. I clicked on a link for XXX hardcore pronography, and I wound up here. Intrigued, I ventured inside...

I came here because I loved the 80's, especially the cartoons...
TMNT was my religion back in the day. I stay because you people seem to know everything.

jeff the cheff 10-01-2003 07:32 PM

When ninjaturtles.com had that thing of interviewing voice actors...and i clicked on the link and started to read some posts...then joined

Eternelle 10-01-2003 07:34 PM

Hmmm...well, after I read just about every TMNT fanfic I could find on the net, I began to follow other random links I found about the Turtles, and, well, not too long after, I ended up here.

Kali 10-01-2003 07:43 PM

Heh, I'd been surfing around TMNT sites and came across this place. Back then, there was a very primative message board, which I lurked on for awhile. Once the early version of this board popped up, and I saw others (Michaelangelo and chromedome) having fun, I decided to join.

Billy the Kid 10-02-2003 02:04 AM

Found out about the Technodrome from a member at Yojoe.com, the G.I. Joe Forum and decided to join. I had been looking for a good TMNT Discussion Board since around February, but strangely my google/yahoo/altavista searches never turned up the Technodrome - just a lot of other forums. But now I'm here to stay!!!

Voltron 10-02-2003 12:41 PM

I was told by the giant talking head Almec from "Legends of the Hidden Temple" to stay away from here. Yet, in an act of total defiance I wandered through the gates of this place, or rather, fell into the man hole and can't get the hell out...

Gah, Olmec! That guy's always so damned secretive with his booming voice of foreboding doom. "The choices are yours, and yours alone", my ass.

HorseTechie 10-03-2003 08:33 AM

Whelp... being an old fartin' vetern of the online TMNT community, I had heard about this fourm in its wee early cascading message board days when I solely existed on mailing lists like the TMNT-L where Krang would forward questions people would ask him there that he didn't know.

Since message boards, or the TMNT, wasn't all that popular back in 2000 and before that, I really didn't participate in it much.

But one day when I was in a RPG Yahoo Club phaze during 2001, I was in one with Kali where she was joking about how she was teasing some other TMNT fans in a RPG at the Technodrome. At that time, this forum looked like this one now, but it was a heckuva lot smaller! Not as many topic divisions like it has now.

So I get curious of this place, and go check it and the RPGs out. Got scared by Machias and Kali's antics, lost my interest in RPGs soon after, and debated whether I should stick around here. But I stuck, and then more.. and more.. even MORE members started signing up as the Turtles got popular again.

Yeah... we've come along way baby! :wink:

Peanut 10-03-2003 11:02 AM

A loooooooooooooooong way indeed.

Machias Banshee 10-03-2003 11:05 AM

Hey we're not that bad! :P :D Just a couple clone threads...

Clones: *wave from the closet*


Heh... :goofygri:

But, Yeah...this place used to be so tiny...its growing up... :cry: :D

Mars-Chan 10-03-2003 01:25 PM

Well, long story short....I was searching for a turtles forum that sounded like a good place to hang out, I found this site and I wound up here.
I LOVE IT HERE!!!!!! WOOO!!!!!!!!! :D

We all love this forum.

JRisindahouse 10-03-2003 04:04 PM

I was looking for somewhere to post my Turtles/Transformers crossover fanfic.

Blaze DTGG 10-03-2003 04:29 PM

I found this place well over a year ago I think. maybe almost 2 .. could have been 3.. I am not sure.. and I set up an account under a different name.. and then I lost my net access for almost 8 months.. it was.. well it was awful... that name was of course deleted and then I signed up new i dunno.. maybe 4 months ago.. maybe more.. I cant remember... and yeah those email addresses were working..

but finally.. a few weeks ago.. IT WORKED!!! I was able to sign in.. and enjoy the turtley forum goodness..

and I plan on staying for a good long time

SkaterMike 10-03-2003 04:50 PM

I've always been a huge fan, and when I heard about the new show and figures I began searching the net for more TMNT stuff (especially info on the old toon and toys), and wound up here. I looked at the forums and saw that this was a great place with lots of great people who share the same interests as me.

BTW - I havent posted much in a while cuz I've been really busy with school and work, but I'm still around and I'll try to post more (I love this place :D )

Nope. I was looking to buy some t-shirts and this popped up (teh stoe part) and i happened to start exploring the site. And there u have it.

The Lone Turtle 10-03-2003 05:51 PM

I found it when I signed up at UnderMahatten. Then when it closed, I decided to join here :)

Ninjatron 10-03-2003 05:58 PM

I found out about The Technodrome when, I think, Krang e-mailed me and asked if I could link to it from my site. That was like 3 or 4 years ago though. Damn, I'm old.

Sayonara.

DarkNinja 10-03-2003 09:16 PM

I really like the new toon, and I was looking on the internet for discussion on Shredder Strikes Back Pt. 1 bcause I really liked it. After surfing a couple hours, I came across the discussion, and became hooked. Yay! I love you guys. :D

U2WaTCHer 10-03-2003 09:20 PM

well I just loved the turtles and was a old time fan since 1987 and loved the technodrome so I just put technodrome.com in as a guilty pleasure and puff I instantly got sucked in :lol:
