Expect a new website soon! - Page 2

Thank goodness for sites and archive.org (hopefully the Foot Soldiers won't give that robots.txt prohibition) that we've provided since it's the best way to understand classic TMNT. I knew it was just a matter of time. The old site was pretty "old school" in style by the time it was taken down (no social media and in-site video). But the new site will show that it isn't your papa's turtles.

It's under maintenance as we speak, and I can confirm it was working early this morning.

I'm excited to see what they do with it... great time to be a Turtles fan.

very cool news

I think its the same case as Mirage. Nick owns any of the characters that were created for the original cartoon, but they don't own the actual episodes or the theme song.

Same reason the original theme song wasn't used in Turtles Forever, they simply don't own the rights to it.

I'm actually pretty mad about this tbh, knowing I probably won't get to see episode descriptions of the previous shows anymore...Especially since I lost a little of....Drako..*sigh*..

Huh, never noticed that I'm a Random Punk instead of a Mouser...

The new website will likely re-direct to Nick.com/ninjaturtles sadly..and even if it doesn't it will strictly be aimed at kids. TMNT fan sites need to step up their game now that the wonderful resource of the original site is gone. No excuses now.

Yeah, hehe, funny thing about that was they really weren't, the stock was just extremely low. I actually bought the last (incomplete) set back in '09 (I had to find #10 elsewhere).

The old site seems to be back.

Interesting, but probably temporary.

A Google Search titles the site as:
"Maintenance on www.ninjaturtles.com"

I wish they'd update that damn banner on the front. Nothing fancy. Just a banner link to something related to IDW's TMNT and maybe the text from a recent Nick press release.

*Drose18* · 03-01-2012, 06:20 AM

We can wish

*Jephael* · 03-02-2012, 10:17 AM

I really miss the old website, but I'm looking forward to what it's going to look like in the fall.

I still refuse to expect a new website soon, and ToTheNines is too lilly-livered to make me. What a weenie...

Not trying to be an ass here, but what is the point in posting THIS?

Of course, someone could say the same about my post...

Anyone else just think the site is going to go live in the Summer?

*Slap-Happy* · 03-02-2012, 05:46 PM

Hey, check it out.

There's a video loading, but the site turns white before you can see it.

Hey, could you get a screen grab from this link please? http://www.nick.com/shows/turtles-dev/characters/.

This too: http://www.nick.com/shows/turtles-dev/about/

You can see a new pic of Shredder! You can also see Splinter, he looks WAAAAAY better than the toy. Nothing to fear.
