Intro
I am back again, no big stories this week, but I'm going to try to make things more interesting, since that definitely seemed to interest everyone a lot more.
Updates
The BrickFair coverage has begun! (Slow though it may be.) If you haven't already you MUST watch the Safari. Nukaya was amazing, and of course cameraman Pat was rock solid. We also started posting some pics (of Space and Castle stuff) - hopefully we'll have more soon. In some of the pics floating around from the event you might see some cool shirts that were made by Bionicle Raptor (Waffles' tribe was wearing them in the Safari), you can pick one up if you have some cash! I highly recommend it.
BrickFair may be over, but BrickCon is coming! It won't have nearly as many BZPower people there, but I'm sure it will still be fun. If you're on the West Coast and want to go to an event and meet a bunch of BZPers, you may be better off holding out for BrickFest in Portland, OR next year. That's the rumor I hear at least.
Sisen also reviewed another set. His pictures have been improving a lot since he first started, he really does a great job!
So, as a prime example of persistence paying off, I made this announcement tonight. Don't worry, this wasn't any of the big projects we had going on, it was just something that came up when a certain staff member really wanted to change his name and wouldn't stop bugging me about it. I knew there were other staff who had expressed interest in doing the same, so discussions were had, guidelines were drafted, and the policy was put into place. You won't see me changing my name anytime soon, but I hope other staffers can make good use of it (at the time of this writing, two already have).
Now, this doesn't mean that if you want something changed on BZPower all you have to do is bug me about it. Oh no. There has to be a legitimate reason, and then you have to convince me that any amount of work that has to go into it is worth the end result. At the end of the day, changing a name doesn't take a lot of effort, and it serves the purpose of keeping the staff happy (and believe me, you don't want to see them when they're angry), so I went for it.
There, now you have some insight into how rules and policies are made. Yay!
