The Technodrome Rocks!
 

I don't know about you guys, but I for one am so glad the Technodrome is back. I like some of the other forums out there, but the Technodrome is the best! I don't want to sound like a parent, but let's try our best not to let things get out of hand again. I'm glad to be back, and I hope we never put the forums on hold again. Krang and Shredder work hard to make this site great, so let's all help them out.

i agree...the technodrome rox....and if it goes down again for childish behavior i may have to dish out spankings....i have no problems sounding like a parent.... GO TO UR ROOM!!!!! and don't play with ur tmnt figures....cause i know u will...but seriously....opinions are welcome...don't jump down peoples throughts for them... :D

Here here.

The Technodrome rawks because of everybody involved.
I hate to see disputes, we all have TMNT in common, and we all bring something to this site that obviously bring each other back here. We don't want to chase anyone away!

I was always checking back to see if the forums were working. I admit I kinda find it funny now, shutting the boards down-- like revoking a great toy from kids who misbehaved.

Special thanks to Krang for having great patience, I know I'd have a hard time keeping my sanity if I was an admin.

amen sista.....preach it....Krang has the patientce of a saint. he sure can take a lot of our crap (man do we sound like a bunch of brown nosers).
Heres to keeping the forums up forever...with no down time to punish the jerks who can't get along

Yay that is back, I'm just kinda upset the GD is gone, and that ezboard substitute is just horrible...I cant even read it.

Im glad this place is back too. I was worried it would be permanently gone.

Everyone is going to GK's board, including me, it even has an awesome withdraw side menu.

My brother even tried to get me in trouble on it as well, posting certain insults and other crap, I had to apologise with another thread.

This whole mess sucks, I'm not even aware of why the General Discussion forums were locked in the freaking first place, was it immaturity on people's part?

Okay, guys... Krang didn't even have to make an ez board to go to. He didn't even have to put the site back up. He has given us innumerable chances to prove ourselves.

Let's not ruin this one, huh? We all got what we deserved, with the GD getting locked, so let's just take the kind gesture Krang made, and be happy with it. :)

I'm just ecstatic the Forum's back up!!

Alright, personally, I thought the new GD was doing just fine. Everyone was all smiles and throwing "thank you Krangs" in every which direction. We even had an entire thread devoted to encouraging one another, and that was going well too. I don't understand why ONE thread about three people (no offense to any of the three, all three of them are awesome people and were/are assets to this forum) leaving caused the entire general discussion to go down, and I know I'm not the only one that was shocked. I understand Krang is obviously under a lot of stress, but to me, this decision seems irrational.

I love this website and the forums. I was very upset when the forums went down temporarily. I never really spent much time in General Discussion so I never really knew there were big fighting problems going on. Very messed up. I hope this site lives forever.

Looks like everyone's favourite banned member is sleezing around on the new GD.

True. That. I really didn't see much wrong on the forum, but I guessed I missed something because if krang was that upset something wrong must have happened.

That's the point, it's supposed to be horrible since certain people couldn't handle the regular ones no matter what I try. I apologize to the people who were using it like normal, but it was just getting out of hand (see below). BTW, an alternate solution is being worked on, so you won't have to put up with that board for much longer.
It seems that way because you only saw what happened on the boards. What really happened was that people were dragging me into their arguments. If I try to intervene like they ask, I get groups of people accusing me of "taking sides". If I don't intervene, I get groups of people accusing me of "taking sides". See how frustrating this is? There were even people complaining that everyone was acting "too nice" (if that makes any sense). As you can see, no matter what I do, people get upset and throw fits, so I didn't want to deal with it anymore.

Really I don't see why you people that are complaining are doing so at all. Your lucky Krang's kept the drome up at all, GD or not. I know some of you weren't causing any problems in the GD, but there ARE other forums for general discussion out there besides the easy board. Please let Krang relax. x.X

People are upset that General Discussion is gone and voicing their opinions in a civil manner. I see nothing wrong with that.

Yeah but while GD was on this forum it was giving Krang nothing but problems... I'm sure he'll think of putting it back up if some folks decide to grow up instead of causing problems. I know you're just voicing your opinion, Dane, there's nothing wrong with that. Just remember that Krang pays for this stuff...he doesn't have to put up with anything he has put up with, and right now we're lucky to even have a board. I'm sure if he wanted to deal with the GD in the current position he would have kept it running. That also wasn't even aimed at you...

I can definitly see how frustrating it is.
it is the same thing when you are a parent , when the siblings get into an argument they ask the parent to intervine ,and it is hard for the parent to take sides because if the parent takes the side of one child the other one is mad and if the parent takes the side of the other child the other is mad at the parent.
it is a very frustrating.
so I know were krang is coming from.

...Qua?

No, Rez.

Not anymore, he's IP banned. I also banned that IP from this domain so that he doesn't try coming back here.

Edit: The new General Discussion boards are now up, so the eboard is no longer necessary.

First I would like to thank Krang for doing this for us.

But I must admit that right now I am a bit conflicted about this situation - given the fact that I have been doing general discussion over at Grunger Kittie's Forum and I really like it.

I fear that there will a divide in the Technodrome Membership and instead of complementing each other, the Technodrome GD Board & GK's Board will simply be duplicating posts.

No one should take this as any kind of criticism - I strongly support the Technodrome and have put my money where my mouth is.

But I do see some problems. Maybe I'm just a little paranoid but I think we need to discuss this among the membership.

But thanks again Krang for putting up with all you do.

All I can say is that whatever happens, I hope everything settles down soon. I don't know about everyone else, but I'm starting to get a little tired of bouncing around.

I appreciate everything that everyone has done, but I hope we can get some stability soon.

The Technodrome GD-Forums are here to stay! Period.

Anarky, I love you.

Anarky,

I am not suggesting that the new GD Forums be closed down. All I'm saying is that there are now two general discussion boards with very similar forum categories which will largely draw its members from the same membership base.

I think we could maybe work out some informal rules to avoid constantly redundant topics. Maybe if someone posts a topic on one board they could avoid posting that same topic in the other for 2 weeks or something?

This way we can keep the boards fresh. I don't know maybe I'm just making a mountain out of a mole hill?

uhm, thanks I guess... :D

and BTK: that sounds liek a good idea. I'll talk to GK about that. Thanks for the suggestion

Anarky, you just cured my sickness.

Man, seems like I'm some kind of miracle healer-guy :D

*poof* "Thou shall be fulfilled with health once more." :D

Maybe I'll just kill mine for now. I was using it as a back up to this place, but now there is an offical back up so It's not really necessary.

I don't think you should shut them down. I always thought those were your private forums for you and your friends to post, so I wanted to help Anarky set his forums up as soon as possible since I felt bad that you had to give out the URL to them and let the general public from here take over.

I agree with Krang, GK. Please don't shut down the SK forums, they're great.

That's true. I dunno what the hell my problem is

Since the new GD has a Spam section, maybe the forum games section should be closed?

I haven't been around the new GD. Does it just not feel like the drome to anyone else?

It doesn't feel like the drome, but I like it just the same.

Thanks Krang for everything! I know we are all annoying but you do put up with us. Kinda liek the nanny on Muppet Babies. I always liked the nanny on that show! :wink: Im not sayign ud look good in stripped tights though krang! :lol:

Yeah, we all owe him a lot. We really do.
