Illustrious Var Posted October 14, 2011 Share Posted October 14, 2011 So, BZP's been down for a reaaal long time now, about 6 months, speaking for myself before this I was on BZP several hours a day so having it go down for such a long time was quite a drastic change to my life. So how did you coupe with BZP being down? For me I moved on to playing on Minecraft servers with my friends from BZP. We also talked on Skype and Xbox Live a lot as well.

Chibinuva Posted October 14, 2011 Share Posted October 14, 2011 Let's see, I joined other forums, upped my collection of sonic games several times over, and made a video for a Lego contest I can't link to. Oh, and I got 360 and Gamecube consoles to buy more sonic games, and joined the bronyhood.

Dorek Posted October 14, 2011 Share Posted October 14, 2011 As I said in the other topic... Worked on making HS01 spiffy so that we could remain relevant and current.Speculated on how long the boards would be down, and trolled people who said it would be soon.Vacationed in France.Aaaaand that's about it. Basically, went on with my life, which didn't really take a huge blow from the forums being down. Kinda nice to have them back, I guess? That's basically what I did. What I should have done is create an input graph on "how many people are going to say that they waited for the boards to come back" BS01's Ambassador (Like us, Follow us) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Warriors of blade and gun: masters of the Warframe armor. Those that survived the old war were left drifting among the ruins. Now they are needed once more. The Grineer, with their vast armies, are spreading throughout the solar system. A call echoes across the stars summoning the Tenno to an ancient place. They summon you. Allow the Lotus to guide you. She has rescued you from your cryostasis chamber and given you a chance to survive. The Grineer will find you; you must be prepared. The Lotus will teach you the ways of the Warframes and the secrets to unlocking their powers. Come Tenno, you must join the war. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Little Miss Krahka Posted October 14, 2011 Share Posted October 14, 2011 I got back into Bionicle because I remembered that I am not very good at stopping loving things. So yeah. And I got into the highly frightening periphery demographic of yet another heavily merchandise driven storyline with six elementally based heroes who are mostly mono-gendered for marketing reasons who save the world from some evil darkness based villain and all sorts of other things that would make my broniness unsurprising, given my history.Also: Fallout. Lots and lots of Fallout.

Ernst Stavro Blofeld Posted October 14, 2011 Share Posted October 14, 2011 (edited) I checked the website often to see if there was any news, in the meantime satisfying myself with video games (including spending waaaaay more time than is psychologically healthy playing LEGO Star Wars III for some reason), doing school work, and regularly checking the BZP news feed for anything interesting.I just realized how typical my life actually is. :POn a completely random tangent, we now have a very interesting yet almost completely inapplicable new emoticon: .
