“FAQ”

Why is Cartoon Orbit being closed?

We considered many factors in making this difficult decision. While we are extremely proud of the world we created in Cartoon Orbit and tremendously grateful for the loyalty of our users, we believe the time has come to close Orbit so we can focus on creating an exciting new phase of content for CartoonNetwork.com.

What will happen to my cToons?

Once Cartoon Orbit closes down on October 16, you will no longer be able to access your cToons or your cZone.

Will I still be able to play gToons?

No. The gToons game and your gToon collection will no longer be accessible. However, we do hope to bring gToons back as a stand-alone game sometime in the future with new sets of game pieces to collect.

What is replacing Cartoon Orbit?

Right now, we are not planning any type of new trading-card community for CartoonNetwork.com that would replace Cartoon Orbit. However, the upcoming year promises many exciting announcements about the future of CartoonNetwork.com.

Is there any chance Cartoon Orbit will come back?

Unfortunately, no. As we said, this was a difficult decision, but we look forward to creating new ways to interact with your favorite Cartoon Network shows and characters.

Is there anywhere I can express my feelings about the closing of Orbit?

We welcome your comments about Orbit and this decision via our Feedback Form. On behalf of the Orbit staff and the entire CartoonNetwork.com team, we extend our sincere thanks for all of your support and feedback over the years, both through our site and the numerous online communities, fan clubs and message boards you've created independently. We never would have made it this far without you.

I have played this game for 4 years, and i am sad to see it go

[Wanted]

It's no skin off of the back of my neck.

[The Wolverine]

Finally.

[vanidad]

oh there I am not comerzado last year and my czone the ONLY set of Collection that I have complete is that of Ben 10 but in cToon since vat to see set gtoon.:(

but My Collection,My gToons,My cToons and cRings oh already this is not the peak. :mad:

[Dr.Pepper]

I remembered I wanted to join that thing so bad when I was like eleven, but now I don't care

[James Bester]

If this was around 4 years ago, I probably would've cared. CN basically ruined it for the past couple of years. I actually didn't even know it was still around.

[Rurouni Kenshin]

While I haven't played it for a long time, I really enjoyed it back in the day. I'm sad to see it go, but I think it was time. The last time I was on there the prices had been getting insane. Although I do feel sorry for the people who had been playing since day one, after all the time they invested in there it must stink to just have it dissapear.

[li_mangaman]

Wait I don't understand, can we print out our collection? If not, what exactly can we print?

[Taylor Karras]

Must be due to that new Cartoon Network MMORPG.

[Kevin]

I remember playing on there back then. While, I don't care for it nowadays, I do feel sorry for those that have been with it since day one and are going to lose all thier things they have collected overtime. In a way though. I'm not surprised since we haven't seen anything new Cartoon Orbit related in quite a while

[CyberCartoon]

Oh man, It was a god run for it. I had a good account named called Speedpuff Neptune and I got a lot of good stuff. Farewell Cartoon Orbit: 2000-2006.

I don't know if anyone's posted this yet. Sorry if someone's already did so.

I'm very sad. A few minutes ago, I just decided to log on, and I read the message. I've been a member since 08/17/2006... Man, I'm going to miss Orbit... :sad: Good-bye.

[Draft]

i already did actually(dont worry, i dont mind ,the mods might tho, or jsut merge topics, which would be easier)

Fimnally i find someone on this forum who is dissapointed by this, i've orbited for 4 years, and i am saddend by it

[veemonjosh]

I've been a member for a very long time.

And... :crying:

I need to be alone now...

:crying:

[Super Sonic]

Cartoon Orbit? Was it some CN Forum or something? I have a vague memory of it, but since I haven't gone to Cartoon Network in years ( I stopped since they did that thing where you have to pay to play most games. ) so please refresh my memory.

It is/was sorta a digital trading card game.

[Duke]

I remember joining CartoonOrbit way back in the beginning. Remember getting Lockdown cToons as well as a whole bunch of Justice League cToons as well. gToons was pretty fun too, but I didn't play it all that much.

I had no clue either of them were still around. I thought they were canned years ago.

[Super Sonic]

It is/was sorta a digital trading card game.

Ah. I remember those!:) I haven't heard about them for years, so I, like Duke, thought it was already canned.

[DBZALLSTAR]

I've been a member of Cartoon Orbit almost since the beginning, and I am very sad to see it go. I believe I have over three hundred cToons/gToons, ranging from Dragon Ball Z, Justice League, Toonami, etc. Although I stopped "buying" cToons long ago, I would occasionally auction off the cToons that I had purchased for the sake of selling later. For most of my time of Orbit, I was in the twenty thousand-thirty thousand-point range, but with the help of my auctioning, I made it into the hundreds of thousands. I regret that I have not collected all the cToons that I wanted, and I believe that I will miss this more than most people, even as an adult. I liked to rearrange my cZone quite frequently, creating new super hero and super villain teams to battle each other using different characters from different shows. I guess it's time for one last run. I suppose I'll arrange my cToons differently everyday for the last six days that I can. I will miss them and Cartoon Orbit. It was like a toy box that I never had to clean up. I wish there was some way all of us Orbiters could print out our collections.
RIP Cartoon Orbit and May flights of angels sing thee to thy rest:(

[PeppeRaskell1]

I think I'm gonna miss it too, especially all my Samurai Jack and Impossibles cToons and gToons, and all the auctions.

I, too, wish they'd let us print our favorite cToons on that "Thank You" certificate. The ones they have are NOT any of my favorites.

Goodbye, Orbit.:crying:

Started one, but the CN-Makes-It-For-You screenname was so stupidly hard to remember I never played it.
So y'know, I have no feeling about Orbit.

[DBZALLSTAR]

I just finished going through my inventory of various Cartoon Orbit cToons, gToons, cRings, Super cToons, etc, and I found that I may have been a bit short when I said that I had about three hundred. I have ended my collection with 558 various Toons. The list takes up thirteen Microsoft Word pages. That's just insane, and it's making me miss Cartoon Orbit even more.

[The Horcrux]

There goes a whole summer vacation......I used to stay up into all hours of the night playing it that one summer.....

[Mr. Manager]

Started one, but the CN-Makes-It-For-You screenname was so stupidly hard to remember I never played it.
So y'know, I have no feeling about Orbit.Same here. I think I had something about Space Ghost.
Also, for some reason this brings back memories of Eet N' Ern. I never used it but I remember it.

[Frank Castle]

I was a member of orbit for about 2 years until they introduced gtoons. That game was pointless.

[veemonjosh]

My screenname was Roger Dondon Beach.

And I loved my screenname because Cubix (which Dondon is from) was one of my favorite shows.

My username is from that. Slap on a Major and there we go. Bear in mind this was for kids or rather something a lot of kids would use. To prevent a whole variety of "bad" words, including but not limited to clever references to sex, racist, and swear words, would either require a massive moderation network, or this simple solution. What do you think CN choose.

As for the whole Orbit thing, the story of my life. I joined the thing recently because my it wouldn't let me connect from my home country, and who do you know, shortly afterwards they cancel it.

[veemonjosh]

According to the print-out certificate, I first signed up on November 10th, 2001.

Wow, I didn't realize it was THAT long ago. :p

[li_mangaman]

Wow I joined 9-11-01. Now I know what I was up to that day.

I'm really quite pissed that I didn't get to print my collection or anything. I spent so much time for the past 5 years working on my Orbit collection. I never stopped playing, and, apparently, I should have.

[veemonjosh]

In case anyone is interested, I'm almost done getting together pictures of my entire collection, along with my sister's and my dad's.

It's.... almost over... :crying:

[Mr. Manager]

In case anyone is interested, I'm almost done getting together pictures of my entire collection, along with my sister's and my dad's.
I wouldn't mind seeing it. Also, your dad played Cartoon Orbit? That's cool.

[veemonjosh]

I wouldn't mind seeing it.

I'll probably post a Photobucket link in my signature sometime in the upcoming weeks.

And, since I had all the Bo-bobo and Naruto cToons, I'll post those in their respective talkbacks the next time we have them.

R.I.P. Cartoon Orbit. 2000-October 16, 2006. We beseach you.

[veemonjosh]

In case anyone is interested, Orbit is still open for the time being, but all references to it have been removed from the rest of the site.

And that was very touching J'onn J'onzz.... :crying:

[MilwaukeeMak]

My user name was Chi Wiggly Avalon. Didnt play it much though.
