"You won't learn anything. We promise."

Hi! This is my Cartoon Network fanblog for archiving old web content and misc. history. (Icon - Storyboard art by James "Wootie" Wootton for the Ed, Edd n Eddy episode, "An Ed is Born.") (About) (Tags) (Resources/Links) (Recommended Blogs)

The original US Cartoon Network website, cartoonnetwork.com, now redirects to MAX.

As my about states, my earliest memories of exploring the CN website were from this era:

I would play the Flash and Shockwave games constantly over the years, play trial/full versions of Power Play Games, etc. I never played Cartoon Orbit as I was too young, but I got to experience the rest. I was there when CN accounts and games like TKO became a thing. I went to the international sites as well, and it always felt special to discover things that weren't on the US site. The list goes on. If this blog is any indication, I have a fondness for this website and it among other sites had an impact on me as a child.

Believe it or not, there was the odd old page or PDF that remained on the site if you stumbled across it on Google. The early 2010s Codename: KND character page was an example. I have no idea when it was (accidentally, I'm sure) made accessible again after years of it redirecting elsewhere, but it happened at some point before or during 2022. The Discovery merger brought the end of the server(s) that the images (and seemingly every other old file) were hosted on. I saw the page when it was only missing one image, then I checked two weeks later and every single image was gone. The text and boxes remained, and I even last visited the page in June of this year. Kind of sums up how harrowing the last few years have been.

This blog turns four years old next month, and the website it is majorly dedicated to— despite me covering 90s-2000s content— is gone. No fossils left, just a redirect.

CartoonNetwork.com, I had not visited you consistently in several years. You died with mere crumbs of what was there when I was a kid, or even a younger adult, and very little in general. Just videos and links to a few apps. I'm sorry the deaths of Shockwave and Flash, the gradual elimination of websites for children, the rise of streaming, sites having to fit a mobile mold, and various corporate decisions did this to you. And I'm sorry for anyone who recently lost their job, or anything they had any part of.

I love you CartoonNetwork.com, and thank you to anyone who had a hand in creating anything for the website for 20+ years.

I have the power puff skateboard deck. Do you know how much it’s worth?

Unfortunately, no! I don't know anything about PPG skateboard decks in particular.

In 2001, Cartoon Orbit "hosted" the first-ever Betty Awards, where orbiters could vote for the movie of the year with collectible poster cToons. Each poster spoofed a 2000 film, replacing the stars with Cartoon Network characters.

Was this where the eene E.D. (E.T. spoof) poster image came from? It was so long ago, but I had printed it out as a kid and had it pinned it to my wall for YEARS.

It's really cool to get context for it. 2001... I would've been turning 5 years old back then. I know I had printed it out before 3rd grade. I got in huge trouble from my dad for wasting the printer ink, but it was worth it. I stared at that thing for hours.

I think I still have the battered print stored somewhere at my parent's.

[yeetacai]

Found it!

It doesn't have all the extra stuff that the ones above have, so I wonder if this came from another event, or if I printed out a "clean" version of it.

If anyone has this image file, hit me up. I'd love to print it out again on some nice paper for the nostalgia!

This is awesome! I unfortunately don't have much info either but I'm glad you still have it. Thank you for sharing :)

In 2005, Cartoon Network launched a NASCARtoon Racing sweepstakes in sponsorship with Nascar and Kellogg's. The grand prize was a Nascar-styled Chevy Monte Carlo themed after Foster's Home for Imaginary Friends. One could enter the contest by calling a number during Cartoon Network's Fridays. Five runner-ups would get a signed diecast car. The sweepstakes ended July 26, 2005.

here is my archive.org account for posting eene scans. not sure if i should tag the uploads properly or not, I don't want to increase the chance of getting them removed for copyright by warner

I would upload the full issues, but scanning takes ages so I just scanned pages where EENE appears. i thought it would be better to scan too much than too little so i used a broad interpretation of "eene content". if a page had any image of an eene character at all, i scanned it

I got some more issues today so I will be adding those very soon (today/tomorrow)

Hello, lost and found followers. I hate to have to ask you all for this, but I'm in dire need of some assistance.

Rent is due, past due actually, and my father's paycheck is completely tied up in other expenses. If we aren't able to pay it, there won't be any more Lost and Found for the foreseeable future, we'll be homeless. We've had all kinds of other trouble lately too, such as my mother developing pneumonia, and her car having a leaky coolant hose and being out of commission.

I don't ask much of you, LnF followers, but just this once, me and my family need serious help.

Hey! Huge fan of youyr blog. I love Ed Edd n Eddy, Cartoon Network and the early 2000s in general. I recently bought 12 Cartoon Network magazines from the UK, 2004-2005. Would you be interested in looking at them? I want to upload them to the internet archive.

Thank you! Yes, of course!! I'm always eager to see more issues of the Cartoon Network Magazine, not to mention the exclusive little comics and such within. Putting them on Archive is definitely the way to go.

Corrected the caption! Just realized my mix-up. Dalmation Press, not Golden Books like the ones I've previously posted about.
