Underscore Posted July 19, 2014 Share Posted July 19, 2014 (edited) I found the BZP through googling in 2010 and Biosector01 a couple years ago when they came out with the Red Star interview, and at that point I made an account that got wiped.

Toa Smoke Monster Posted July 19, 2014 Share Posted July 19, 2014 I found BZP back in 2006. I read a comment on Bionicle.com that there were pictures of Vezon and Fenrakk, characters I hadn't heard of at the time, on here, so I checked it out. The rest is history.

FrozenFlash Posted July 19, 2014 Share Posted July 19, 2014 I found this site by clicking the "Random Page" button on BS01. I got a bit curious and did some research on it. You can pretty much guess what happened soon after. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Gatanui Posted July 19, 2014 Share Posted July 19, 2014 Found it on the buzz section on BIONICLE.com in 2004 but didn't actually join until one year later, I'm guessing because I didn't understand enough of what people said as I'm not a native English speaker and I had basically started learning English at the time. BZPower has been a fantastic platform for that. -Gata 3 Quote - Gata Please don't use my avatar or signature without permission, thanks! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Emzee Posted July 19, 2014 Share Posted July 19, 2014 I was googling "bionicle music" in 2002 for some reason (probably to find copies of the MNOLG music). Naturally, I found nothing, but I did stumble upon both Kanohi Power and BZCommunity. I continued lurking on those forums until the merger.

Noxryn Posted July 19, 2014 Share Posted July 19, 2014 A friend's older brother showed me in 2001/2ish, I think it was BZCommunity at the time? Since I was so young and didn't understand message boards, and wasn't allowed to join things online back then, I just lurked. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Toa Kayn Posted July 20, 2014 Share Posted July 20, 2014 In 04 or 05 I read a ton of comics where the Matoran were obsessed with the drink sprite on google images and in turn that lead me to BZPower but I didn't think about joining until years later.

Click Posted July 20, 2014 Share Posted July 20, 2014 Googling random Bionicle stuff a few years ago and I came across it. I read through the news stories for a few months before even realizing there was a forum. Still continued to just read for a while until my parents caved and let me get an account.

Pohatu: Uniter of Stone Posted July 20, 2014 Share Posted July 20, 2014 (edited) Found out probably back in 2008-9, but didn't join for a long time, mostly because my mom was /is super duper cautious about sites and such. Edit: Does anyone remember the years that Gerlicky's That's Messed Up and CyberKN's Mask of Humor ran, because I actually found old pictures of them saved to my computer.

-{Lion Heart}- Posted July 20, 2014 Share Posted July 20, 2014 I think I found it while searching for something Bionicle-related on the ol' Google search. It was either 2003 or 2004, and in December 2004 I made my account.Bonus: My first username was Toa Lhikan of Fire (I think) which was soon changed to Darthe Vader - Dark Lord of the Sith (don't ask me about the typo), then back to Lhikan possibly, first time using Lionheart, then some LH alternatives, then Hawkeye during a Marvel craze on the forums where tons of members were changing their avatars and usernames to Marvel characters, and finally back to Lion Heart, this time for good. 1 Quote Credit goes to Biomech for the almost 20-year-old avatar!

Hitoshura Posted July 20, 2014 Share Posted July 20, 2014 I probably found out about it in maybe 2011, while googling some Bionicle stuff, but I didn't feel like joining until early 2013. Quote profiles Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Narglepuff the Protector Posted July 20, 2014 Share Posted July 20, 2014 Somehow I had ended up on the Custom Bionicle Wiki back in March of 2008. It was there that I found Toatapio Nuva's Comics: The Movie. Sure, it was just a Windows Movie Maker/MSPaint video, but I really appreciated the fact that one guy poured so much effort into making that movie. I looked for anything else like it and discovered the old Artwork III forum. This led to me wanting to make comics of my own, so I joined this site shortly after. I still have that movie file somewhere on my computer... Quote Sprite Kit Archive For all of your comic-making needs! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
NorikSigma Posted July 20, 2014 Share Posted July 20, 2014 I stumbled upon Bs01 in 2010. It wasn't until 2011 that I decided to give BZPower, which was constantly mentioned as an affiliated website, a look. Then I joined to play BZPRPG.

Aanchir Posted July 20, 2014 Share Posted July 20, 2014 I first came across it back when it was linked to from the official BIONICLE website back in 2004, if I remember correctly. I don't remember how I rediscovered it later, but I think the reason I eventually joined might have been because of having questions for Greg. It was basically the first web community where I went from being a lurker to being an active user. 4 Quote Latest MOC: PAIGE (Prototype Artificial Intelligence, Gynoid Expression) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Vorahk1Panrahk2 Posted July 20, 2014 Share Posted July 20, 2014 I gotta be honest and say that I don't remember how I found the site. I think it -may- have been linked to or mentioned on another fan site, and I decided to join because... why not? I liked BIONICLE and it seemed like a good site.

V-N Posted July 21, 2014 Share Posted July 21, 2014 I first stumbled upon BZP in Google, but only later became interested after hearing a lot about it on another BIONICLE fan site (though I still didn't join for a while).

TERIDAX941 Posted July 23, 2014 Share Posted July 23, 2014 Oh where do I start? Hmm... well a friend showed me the main site that did reviews of certain legos, and that they let you know in advance what sets were showing up just a little bit before the magazine came in the mail. After that I just started reading the forums and that just led to one thing after another and I finally became a member.

Meiko Posted July 23, 2014 Share Posted July 23, 2014 I joined because my brothers were members. I wasn't too active at first but began frequenting the site when I learned that some friends from school were also members. That was around the time that My LEGO Network was popular so my friends from school and I used BZPower as a way to communicate and rank up in that game. I revisited BZPower again after the long downtime (which I didn't know happened until after it was over) because I was also becoming active on BIONICLEsector01 and HEROsector01 at the same time.

Adventurer Posted July 23, 2014 Share Posted July 23, 2014 I found BZP first in late 2006 after hearing on the Lego.com message boards that Greg F posted here. Instantly hunted down the site and was amazed to find he actually did! 1 Quote Credit to Pohuaki for the awesome banner! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
xccj Posted July 24, 2014 Share Posted July 24, 2014 I spent a lot of time on the old Lego message boards following their Bionicle discussions. I was intrigued about the then-mysterious Kal, and I kept hearing that some site called BZP had information on them. After a few visits I eventually joined in early 2003 because the forums here were so much better than the official Lego ones.

Chronicler06 Posted July 25, 2014 Share Posted July 25, 2014 If I remember correctly, I had done a lot of Googleing for various Bionicle subjects back in early 2004. I ended up finding a story in the Epics section that I liked so much that I wanted to make some comments of my own on it, and thus this site became the very first forum that I ever joined. True, I ended up making a lot of dumb mistakes later that year, but I have long since learned from them. Quote Formerly known as Takanuva's Symbol, I rejoined BZPower on October 10, 2012.

Oroki Posted July 25, 2014 Share Posted July 25, 2014 If I remember rightly, there was a link to BZP on the Bionicle main site, back in 2003. I didn't speak English yet, but I visited the site anyway and that's how I learnt it. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Element Lord of Milk Posted July 27, 2014 Share Posted July 27, 2014 January 2006, I heard of it on the Lego message boards. I think it was in relation to new set info, somebody posted the URL in a thread and I joined up first thing. It's weird to think how different my life might have been had it not been for that random internet person. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Pomegranate Posted July 27, 2014 Share Posted July 27, 2014 I'm not sure exactly how I found it, but I do remember that I used to frequent the official Lego Message Boards and thinking "gee, this place sure is a mess. I wonder if there is a more organised website, preferably where there aren't 50 questions a day about Toa needing their oil changed" That prolly led to a little searching online. Since it was back around 2006 or 2007 that I stumbled upon BZ and lurked for a several months, I'm sure BZP was the top hit for "bionkle mesage bord" in Google. 2 Quote .

Heir of the Chronicler Posted July 27, 2014 Share Posted July 27, 2014 I honestly don't remember, since it was more than ten years ago!

Franz Joseph Haydn Posted August 8, 2014 Share Posted August 8, 2014 This topic has been done into the ground many times over but I like telling the story so I thank you for giving me the chance I was actually obsessed with BIONICLE months before joining BZP and was researching and reading my mind out. It was probably the most interesting time of my life, back then. And I came across and lurked on BZP. My parents at the time were net-wise and didn't want me to get into anything I couldn't handle but eventually I signed up. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Matoro Zeliph Posted August 8, 2014 Share Posted August 8, 2014 (edited) I have discovered BZP by simply googling "bionicle news" back in 2002. I've always enjoyed their frequently posted updates/discussions that I've decided to join in late 2003.
