randomreviewerbros Posted February 22, 2016 Share Posted February 22, 2016 Hi everyoneI just have a quick question, the day where the most people were online, what happened that day? Was that the day that BIONICLE was officially cancelled or did something else happen? I can't recall what happened back then so I'm asking all of you Thanks! 1 Go check out our Youtube channel!

fishers64 Posted February 22, 2016 Share Posted February 22, 2016 No, Bionicle's cancellation was old news then. BZP found about that back in 2009.

Tarn Posted February 22, 2016 Share Posted February 22, 2016 That was the day the Vogons made that highway bypass. Not that that actually happened, though.In all seriousness, what DID happen? Was there a big contest, or a site-wide raffle or something? 1 [BZPRPG] (shout out to max) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bfahome Posted February 22, 2016 Share Posted February 22, 2016 It was the day where more people were online simultaneously than there had ever been previously. I mean, it had to happen at some point. 6 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tarn Posted February 22, 2016 Share Posted February 22, 2016 (edited) It was the day where more people were online simultaneously than there had ever been previously. I mean, it had to happen at some point.That's boring. That's a boring answer. I'd rather think something ridiculously huge happened then something so...rational.

Makaru Posted February 22, 2016 Share Posted February 22, 2016 Absolutely nothing happened on BZP because the server is completely incapable of dealing with that many people. So bubble wrap I guess? Was that a thing at the time? 15 Spoiler Alert Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
randomreviewerbros Posted February 22, 2016 Author Share Posted February 22, 2016 Hmm all interesting responses, I would really like to know that truth of that day. No, Bionicle's cancellation was old news then. BZP found about that back in 2009. (Other than that, no idea...I joined a few months later than that.)I didn't think BIONICLE was cancelled that day because I knew I had definitely heard of that in 2009, so I really thought it must have been something different Go check out our Youtube channel!

Aanchir Posted February 22, 2016 Share Posted February 22, 2016 Well, for one thing it was shortly after the start of Toy Fair. BZPower hadn't posted their Hero Factory coverage at that time, but maybe other sites had, and people were discussing that? It was also around when the first chapter of Journey's End was posted to Bionicle.com. So there's that. But for another thing, I don't actually know how far back those records go. So this probably isn't actually the time when the most people were on BZPower. Just the time when the most people were on BZPower that the site can still remember. 5 Latest MOC: PAIGE (Prototype Artificial Intelligence, Gynoid Expression) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Hahli Husky Posted February 23, 2016 Share Posted February 23, 2016 (edited) Well, for one thing it was shortly after the start of Toy Fair. BZPower hadn't posted their Hero Factory coverage at that time, but maybe other sites had, and people were discussing that? It was also around when the first chapter of Journey's End was posted to Bionicle.com. So there's that. Yeah I was gonna say this too. It's very likely because detailed Toy Fair coverage had just started on the front page on that day. People were likely seeking BZP coverage of Hero Factory, since it was the line replacing Bionicle, and talk about it and/or read opinions on it. Plus the cancellation of Bionicle seemed to bring a lot of older members out of the woodwork for a while. I definitely remember BZP being busier during this transition, and a lot of speculation and opinions about what direction the site might/should take from then on.

Toa Doublebee Posted May 21, 2016 Share Posted May 21, 2016 Well, if the number of people online on that day was a sudden spike, significantly more than a day before, then that would mean something note worthy happened and that we should indeed try and figure out what on earth that was.But if like Bfahome said, it is just a statistic certainty that one day there will be more users online than any other day, and that day happens to be this certain day, then there is nothing to find and we'd be chasing our own tail. So basically, can we know how big the anomaly was? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
