Vishanui Posted October 15, 2011 All good reasons. I feel like so much of this year has been wasted http://www.bzpower.com/board/public/style_emoticons/default/confusedw.gif I mean it's very likely the last year of Bionicle we're gonna get (at least for a long time, maybe when I'm 30 or something lol), and yet instead of getting lots of needed closure, we get almost nothing. Quote Credit to .:MatoroIgnika:. for the awesome banner. 75% of BZPers are afraid to show there love for Bionicle, if you are part of the 25% that are proud to call yourselves fans of Bionicle, Copy and Paste this into your sig.

Lewa Krom Posted October 15, 2011 I believe Greg said he would continue the story on BZP or something if they shut down BionicleStory.com. I doubt they'll shut it down, though. They keep many set lines up long after they're dead. Quote Keep in mind that if Star Trek fans had, as a group, said, "No point in talking about this anymore, it's never going to come back," it never WOULD have come back. -- Greg Farshtey Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Toa Zaz Posted October 15, 2011 But if they shut it down, will they even tell us, or will they just quite updating it and leave it up like Bionicle.com? Quote "Well, Mr. Louie, that leaves big Max all alone for you." Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Taipu1 Posted October 15, 2011 If the theory that the downtime meant they didn't post any new chapters, just because the forums are back up, might now not be enough to warrant more chapters. I just hope the forum downtime hasn't killed Bionicle. Quote - Taipu1.HighFly MatoranShowdownBZPRPG ProfilesHave you seen my Blog?

Lewa Krom Posted October 15, 2011 Toa Zaz - Bink and Greg are the ones who are running BionicleStory. They both seem to want to keep Bionicle alive and I bet they would tell us if they were closing down BionicleStory.com.

fishers64 Posted October 15, 2011 (edited) I've been wondering that myself, and I've thought of several possible reasons why. 1. His life. He's been very busy, what with his daughter and all, so that may be the reason. 2. His work. He's been hard at work writing books for the Ninjago series which recently got released. That has probably been eating up his time. 3. His audience. With BZPower down, what was the purpose of updating the serials if nobody's going to be able to discuss them? Now that BZP's up and running, I hope to see an increase in the story updates. Though I fear we may not see BIONICLE past the end of this year. -MesonakI agree. The Lego guys aren't exactly considering his desire to post Bionicle serials. And BZP being down couldn't have come at a worse time.

Phantoka Kopaka Nuva Posted October 16, 2011 Greg will make up for the lost time somehow. Who knows, maybe he's already written down a handful of serial chapters ready to go. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Lewa0111 Nuva Posted October 16, 2011 Makes sense that he wouldn't update during the BZP downtime. As others have said already, without BZPower, Greg didn't really have any impetus to focus on updating BIONICLE at all. Hopefully we'll get some more updates soon....If not, and he remains too busy to update, I hope he decides to at least pass on the reins of the BIONICLE story to someone else with more time to focus on it. I seriously doubt it is going to just die. Lewa0111 Nuva Quote My Script Comedies: | The Nuva Inn Remake | Ask Matau!

ZippyWharrgarbl Posted October 16, 2011 I'm looking forward to further updates, especially with Malum and/or the Matoran/Agori integration. Restauraunts would be very awkward in their new world.

Caius the Liberator Posted October 17, 2011 First post on Neo BZP. So awesome. Tears to my eyes.On topic: As I recall the 2 unfinished series are "To Be Concluded" no? So I'm thinking it can be done before the year is out, and I have a pretty high faith that Greg has been making them epicly long compared to the other chapters. Just like Sahmad's Tale. Even if Greg himself stops in 2012, his stories are open enough for so much more continuation. So that makes me hopeful. Quote Hapori Tohu; The Heart. The heart of BZP. Long live The Heart.

Ghosthands Posted October 17, 2011 well think of it like this. Bionicle is the original series. gone for 10 years, then ends. in that time, Greg does other stuff, as writers often do. But then The Bionicle Saga has a new generation. on the top of my head, 3 super famous TV shows have done that. Star Trek (with the Next Generation), Star Gate (With Atlantis) and Avatar (with... what ever Aangs daughter is named). So maybe the saga will end, but a new one may begin Hey, don't forget Doctor Who, officially the longest-running and most successful sci-fi series of all time Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Zalty Posted October 17, 2011 Right now, all I really want to know, is why Mavrah is still alive!To please the fanbase. ;D -ckFair enough, I'm a fan of Mavrah's too, and am pretty happy at his unexpected return. But I want to know why! Actually, scratch that, I don't want to know. If we learn all the secrets of the Bionicle world, it'll lose the magic, kinda like science ruins the magic of the world.

Riglax Posted October 19, 2011 To be fair, after LEGO's new policy system, Greg was pretty much unable to directly talk to any fans, as he couldn't be sure of their age. Combined with his normal LEGO work, his recent fatherhood, and Bzpower's downtime, even if he posted any story, he would have zero response to it. We all find that a bit pointless, no?

GSR Posted October 19, 2011 Poor Lewa. It always hurts, being demoted to an extra like that. But I guess it's inevitable with updates paced like so. Hopefully some closure can be brought to each plot - or, at the very least, if LEGO asks Greg to move on entirely, he can let us know what the intended plots were.
