Welcome to The Technodrome! Since 1999, we have been bringing you classic TMNT content from the perspective of the villains. Our site features the latest news, extensive information, fun interactive elements, exclusive multimedia, original fan works, and much more. Feel free to let us know what you think by stopping by our forums or emailing us, and as always, you're welcome to bookmark or link to our site. Enjoy!

A new poll is now up! This new poll asks which of the Turtle's personalities is most like yours. Be sure to vote in the column to the right of the page!

Also, the results for the previous poll are in. Pizza Crunchabungas were voted your favorite TMNT food item with 38 votes (27%). Ice Cream Bars came in second place with 32 votes (23%), and the Cereal came in a close third with 31 votes (22%). For the full results of this poll and all other previous polls, click the Previous Polls link in the left column under Information.

For those of you who visit our forums regularly, you may have noticed posts referring to TMNT characters with unusual names. This was our April Fool's joke for the year (as several of you correctly guessed). In case anyone missed it, here was what was replaced:

Leonardo, Leo -> Leon
Michaelangelo, Michelangelo, Mikey, Mike -> Mickey
Donatello, Donny, Donnie, Don -> Danny
Raphael, Raph -> Ralph
Shredder -> Shredded Wheat
Krang -> Curry Man

This was all done using a quickly written JavaScript trick, so no posts were actually edited. Hopefully everyone enjoyed it.

Speaking of the forums, sometime in the next few weeks, I will be upgrading the forum software, and this may require up to an hour or two of downtime. Since the forums are on a different server than the site, the site will not be affected. When I have a more exact date for the upgrade, I will post it as an announcement on the forums.

Merry Christmas and happy holidays to everyone here on the Technodrome! We hope everyone has a wonderful day!

We've also updated the fanfic section of the site with two new stories ("The Shredder is Born" and "Two on the Roof"- I highly recommend both!) and two new poems! I apologize for the long wait, but will do my best to update this section more regularly. Enjoy!

In order to reduce downtime and to improve speed and reliability, I moved the site to a different server earlier today. Everything should be up and running smoothly, but if you notice anything not working correctly (particularly interactive parts of the site such as the poll, the madlibs, and the TMNT oekaki), please let me know. Also note that the forums are on a separate server, so they were not affected by the move.

Aside from being Halloween, today is also The Technodrome's eighth anniversary! As usual, we have some site updates to celebrate.

First, our poll is finally back! Last time we had a poll, it was unfortunately skewed by spam bots "voting" for random choices, so the results had to be thrown out and the poll had to be temporarily closed down. However, we now have a Flash-based voting system which should be much more difficult for bots to interfere with. Everything should work properly, but if you encounter any errors, please post on our forums or email me. This new poll asks which TMNT-related food item was your favorite, so be sure to vote in the column to the right!

Next, our Sounds page was getting a little big, so I moved the theme songs to their own page. This should hopefully make it easier to navigate. Thanks to gobo for the idea!

Finally, I also added 3 new theme songs to the new Theme Songs page! You can now listen to the Italian theme song and the two Japanese ending theme songs, all from the original cartoon. Thanks to gobo for sending them in!

Shredder will be posting more updates within the next few days, so be sure to check back soon. Enjoy, and thanks for your continuing support in making this event possible.
