  1. Okay, I think this has gone on long enough, and the disruption is no longer needed. I wish PortalPuppy all the best, but clearly they need to step away from BZPower and the rest of the community.
  2. I think that about wraps it up for this topic. Thread closed.
  3. See my post here: Thread closed.
  4. BZPower is not the place to air private disputes. Vahkiti has made it very clear he does not want to talk to you, so I encourage you to stop. If you continue to bring this up in topics on BZPower, we will consider restricting your posting privileges. If you want to stay here and talk about Bionicle, you're welcome to do so, but please keep it at that. Thread closed.

  6. The Future of Twitch Tuesday Digging back through pages and pages of YouTube videos, it looks like we first started doing our Twitch Tuesday streams in July of 2015, about seven months after our first live build in December 2014. While that's not quite a decade, it's still a long time! Our streams of videogames and set builds have changed a bit over those years, especially the latter, and 2023 found my personal life making it difficult to stream on the weekends building LEGO sets. And I miss that. While I love playing videogames, over eight years of Twitch Tuesdays means I've played just about every TT Games title and quite a few of the more recent additions like LEGO Brawls. I enjoy striving for completion and finding every widget and collectible, but there is a point where the tediousness sets in a bit. So while I want to keep playing games, I want to bring back the set builds as well, and I don't want to be tied down to Tuesdays every week. Ergo, Twitch Tuesday as we know it is coming to an end. My goal is still to stream at least once a week, and maybe even more than once a week, switching between LEGO sets and LEGO games depending on my mood and what's captured my interest. There are still some details to be worked out. I'd like to come up with a catchy name for this new venture, and names are always hard. I also need to determine what my schedule is going to be and how far in advance I can share it. It would be great to be able to post it at the beginning of the week, but real life doesn't always accomodate things like that. Also, when I decided to take February off from streaming, I did not plan far enough in advance to realize that BrickFair Fredericksburg is at the beginning of March, meaning no streams will resume until March 18th at the earliest. So there's still some work to be done, but I'm looking forward to building and playing live for you all over on our Twitch Channel soon. Your feedback and input is always welcome!
  7. Retiring Premier Membership BZPower has had the Premier Membership program for a long time, providing a way for people to help support the site financially while receiving some perks in return. Over the years, with changes to the forum software and the decrease in activity on the site, the allure of those perks has understandably been reduced, making the program much less appealing than it was in the past. Invision, the company that makes BZPower's forum software, announced that in their next major update they will be removing the store aspect of the forums, which is how Premier Memberships are managed. Keeping everything above in mind, this seems like the right time to cease the Premier Membership program. Of course, anyone who purchased a Lifetime membership will retain that title and the remaining perks, but memberships will no longer be for sale as of February 29th, 2024. The forum software does have new ways of doing subscriptions and accepting donations, so we may look into doing a new program in the future. If we do, it will be something that fits with the current activity level of the site and capabilities of the software. We appreciate everyone who has donated to support BZPower over the years! Every little bit has been helpful in keeping us running, and we thank you all!

  9. I would certainly like to play more LEGO Brawls. It may just be something that goes on the back burner for a bit while I build LEGO sets or go back to some of the TT Games. To be determined!
  10. Weird - True Achievements usually does a pretty good job with syncing. Looking at my Xbox profile, it says I'm 69% of the way there, which I think is only 14/20. Not sure where the disconnect happened.
  11. The process for joining BioniLUG has changed, as have some of the details. Please refer to this page on the BioniLUG website for current and future information.
  12. That's definitely good info to have! I'll make a note somewhere to reference in the future. I'm still feeling Monkie Kid is next though. Yep, I'm 60% of the way there!
  13. That's your signature. You can edit it here.
