Yes, unvoluntary. By 1994–1995, the popularity declined, no more Archie comics, and cartoon on less stations. The interest was lower. I got always just nostalgic with TMNT instead, and watched some old VHS tapes sometimes when I was ill having nothing to do (usualyl 1987 TMNT). But I saved the tapes, toys and comics, because the memories were so fun.

One day in late November or early December 2003, I searched on TMNT on the Internet, just for fun. 1980's nostalgia had just begun to kick in (in the 1990's, we usually had 1970's nostalgia, even if I don't see the TMNT hype as purely 1980's). I thought I knew everything, how it started as the Archie Comics or something, and then became a cartoon in 1987. Of course, it was created manly to be children-family friendly...

I entered the Ninja Turtles website, saw it was a new cartoon, and the background (Mirage). Discovering what TMNT really was from the beginning. 2004 was a revival year. Discovering Jephael's fansite, reading fan fiction, wanting more. Bought some TMNT DVD. Watched the 2003 show in late 2004-early 2005 I think.

Joining this website in January 2006, reading here almost every day (even when not posting).
