Behold!
It all started one day in 2001 (yes, I've been a fan that long). I was young and watched TV... too much. It was a boring day and I decided to pat attention to the commercials! (gasp!) Then I saw one about THE Bionicle. My first thought: Wow... I must have them! All I knew was two things: The name, and they're toys. I didn't know anything about the story line or that there was a storyline! Plus, I didn't know that there where other sets besides toa. I just thought they were other non-bionicle toys. And worse of all, I thought they were robots. Bad fan, huh?
I was stunted when I saw the new bionicle toys, the... new bionicles? That's right, I didn't know what the bohrok were called. All I knew was they were new, and I wanted them just as bad. The rest repeats, but unlike before, where I got them all, I just got a few: "The red one", "the black one", and maybe "the green one". When the Toa Nuva came out all I new came from the commercial: They were the "old ones" and they got new armor and cooler.
Those years changed my life. I was some-what aware of the storyline (thanks the movies), I became aware that there were bigger and more complex sets, and they were not robots.
In early 2005, I got a computer that had the Internet. I went to many sites, including bionicle.com. It was awesome.
In late 2005, some one mentioned a site called "BZPower". I was too quick too judge, looked at it for a split second, then left.
At first I thought the "toa" were cool. Then I discovered they were the bad guys. The villains come out first this time. I. Was. Shocked. I let the comics be my entire source of the storyline info.
Late 2006/Early 2007
In that time I looked up Bionicle on Wikipedia (hint: more info then than today). I then became almost completely aware of the story line.
I decided to give BZP another look. I saw that it was news site and checked it out EVERY DAY. Months later, I discovered that it was a forum site too! I mostly spent my time in the comic section. I licked three comics: Dark709's comics, The Tales of Idiodicy, and Moronicle. When the Toa Mahri came out, I didn't like them, but then grew fond of them.
In November I decided one thing, I was ready to join BZPower. Later I made my own comics. They were great. I spent most of my time there to give it life and tend to it.
I was happy when I got to see more of the BoM. Before then all knew of was The Makuta (or Teridax). I wanted to get them all! Same for the Mistika. I was outraged that the matoran sets cost more. If they had the same nuber of peices of 2001, then they would cost more that the toa/makuta! 
coming soon
