Why no OT section?
 

There are discussion board sections for the 2K3 cartoon and the Nick cartoon, but none for the original cartoon. Am I to assume that the "OT" falls under this category - "TMNT: General?" While I'm at it, there isn't a section for the Next Mutation series either. Not saying the site needs a Next Mutation section, just pointing out that it doesn't have one.

This IS the OT section. This whole site started around 1999 when the original cartoon was the only series that existed.

I'm gonna burst a vein if I read another thread of yours.

Thank you, that's what I was wondering.

And TMNT was mostly something mostly associated with the past (peaking 5-10 years earlier).

I doubt this place would have been called the Technodrome if this site has been started today.

The forum index specifically indicates to discuss the classic series and no place else. The Next Mutation only lasted one season, came right after the original series, and falls under the "miscellaneous" umbrella (think Turtle Tunes, Coming Out of Their Shells, and other oddballs such as Operation Blue Line). Its also the place to discuss multiple incarnations, even if it doesn't include the original series.

And that fan from Sweden hasn't fully appreciated the Nick Season 1 finale by virtue of this site's name.

I've seen all of season 1 in the 2012 show, but compared to 1999, people today are much more aware of other TMNT versions (even those created before 1999) than back then.

to quote casey from movie 3:

Hey, Ken.
Maybe you ought to try a little decaf?... You know, maybe you ought to try...a little herbal, Ken-man, know what I mean?

:D:lol:

If only. Coffee smells so damn good but my taste buds hate it.

hmmm well i can honestly say i don't have that problem. and well we r on the subject why the hell would anyone drink decaf anyway. its like buying a convertible and never putting the hood down. your kind of missing the point of drinking coffee.

Some people like the taste of coffee, but have negative reactions to caffeine, such as panic attacks, etc.

I feel the same way Powder. But when I drink it with sugar, or better yet, flavored creamer it's fantastic. Of course, I'm always a fan of a good Hot Mocha too!

I have to add so much sugar and other flavorings it hardly counts as coffee anymore.

More of a Chai Tea guy myself, Coffee and me never mixed.

I kind of feel like at this point the OT should have its own category. It feels like kind of a disservice to lump it into the General section, which I think could be reserved for more miscellania and all-encompassing topics. I know the forum started as strictly OT fair, but it's really branched out since then and the OT isn't the prime focus of most dromers these days (imo).

Anyway, sorry to get off topic, let's get back to coffee.

LOL! Good one.

Coffee is so awesome! I live on the stuff...

If I could, you'd get quite the upvote from me.

Anyway, coffee, geez, I practically LIVE off of that stuff. Idk what it is about it, it's just SOOOOOOO GOOD O_O

This. I totally agree. The days of living off memories of the OT and hoping for the turtles to come back someday are long gone. We had a new series in 2K3 and a new one now. I think it's fitting the OT has its own seperate section. General TMNT Discussion should be just that, GENERAL discussion. Let the OT have its own section.

In theory it would make these forums more organized, but it's gonna be a massive undertaking for the administration/moderators to read, discern, and separate over 6,000 threads.
Or even if a whole new OT forum section was created (and the separation was never done), users would eventually have to search through two different forums if they wanted to search for a particular OT subject.

On the topic of separate forums, the TMNT comic forum should probably include 3 different sub-forums within it for the 3 different popular TMNT comics (Mirage, Archie, and IDW), but that's also going to be another huge organizing task as well.

...And I don't know who would have the time and/or patience for restructuring and organizing it all. :ohwell:
