Jinkmeister Posted March 19, 2012 Share Posted March 19, 2012 For me, it was the Bionicle site way back in '03 or '04.

Squishyfrog Posted March 19, 2012 Share Posted March 19, 2012 Google. A loooooong time ago... around 2005, I think. I was completely oblivious that there were actually forums here until about 2009. >__> Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Peach 00 Posted March 19, 2012 Share Posted March 19, 2012 My brothers and BIONICLE itself introduced me to the site, I mainly lurked here for about a year as a guest. I was reading Lady K's stories at the time, and writing also got me on the site in 09. Took me awhile to actually join because I didn't know if I should or not. =/ Quote On the day the wall came down / They threw the locks onto the ground And with glasses high / We raised a cry / For freedom had arrived On the day the wall came down / The ship of fools had finally run aground Promises lit up the night / Like paper doves in flight I dreamed you had left my side / No warmth, not even pride remained And even though you needed me / It was clear that I could not do a thing for you Now life devalues day by day / As friends and neighbors turn away And there's a change that even with regret / Cannot be undone Now frontiers shift like desert sands / While nations wash their bloodied hands Of loyalty, of history / In shades of grey I woke to the sound of drums / The music played, the morning sun streamed in I turned and I looked at you / And all but the bitter residues slipped away slipped away...

Wotz Posted March 19, 2012 Share Posted March 19, 2012 Google. I searched 'Bionicle' and Bzpower was on the first page. That was back in 2003-2004 or something. I occasionally looked at the Hot Topics on the front page, but didn't bother joining till I came to my senses last year.First act was posting in Q&A, I think, followed by spending a lot of time in S&T, GD, and CoT. Then I discovered the BZPRPG, and most of my post count is based solely on that Quote D U N E W O L F Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Nukaya Posted March 19, 2012 Share Posted March 19, 2012 I'm guessing that I found it in 2002 via Google, and joined in 2003.I think my first act was making some really awful comedies. Quote My MOCs ~ Mishaps & Bubblewrap Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dviddy Posted March 19, 2012 Share Posted March 19, 2012 I found BZPower through the merger of BZCommunity and Kanohi-Power, which I found through Google back in early 2001, and I found BZC through REDimension, which was the original name and host of what is not BZP. I lurked for six months because I was convinced my parents wouldn't let me join a forum, spending all my time in the BBC. Then I said "screw it" and joined in January 2002. My first act was to post terrible MOCs. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

a goose Posted March 19, 2012 Share Posted March 19, 2012 I found it through Google, way back when (probably 'round 2004), didn't realise there were forums, thought it was boring, found out about it through the LEGO message boards, didn't realise there were forums, still thought it was boring, and then I found the forums through Google in 2010, lurked for AGES as a guest (BZPRPG and this one comedy, 'Toa Training' or something like that) before joining in October.BTW, couldn't this topic be made into a poll?

Sumiki Posted March 19, 2012 Share Posted March 19, 2012 I had seen it mentioned in passing on the LEGO Message Boards, and then just Googled "BZPower" ... the first thing I remember is the Iron MOCist contest, though I was still lurking at the time.The first thing I did on BZPower was lurk in Roa McToa's MOC topics - I think I joined to make a comment about her Piraka chibis. I proceeded to make some spammish posts and confuse the report button with the reply button. I then proceeded to make a few terrible comedies before realizing that they were terrible.

Vartemp Posted March 19, 2012 Share Posted March 19, 2012 What happened to Sumiki pretty much happened the same way with me. Back in 2008 I saw it as a passing mention in the LEGO Messageboards (although I didn't, and still don't have an account there) and I googled it. I used it for reference before I joined about a year and a half later. Quote "Don't criticize what you can't understand." — Bob Dylan Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Scanty Demon Posted March 19, 2012 Share Posted March 19, 2012 One day in 2008 or so I was bored and I decided to look for some Bionicle fanfiction. While searching I stumbled upon a fanfic on BZP. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Queen of Noise Posted March 19, 2012 Share Posted March 19, 2012 Found BZC in 2002, lurked as a guest for a few months and decided it was a Bad Site, left, rediscovered it a while later just after the BZC/KP merge, then inexplicably kept hanging around for months and months and months (like a year, IIRC), eventually decided it was Not So Bad, and then joined in 2003 because I wanted to post a dumb theory. Then I made dumb comics and dumb stories and became a dumb staff member and met a lot of dumb friends and was dumb.

Noxryn Posted March 19, 2012 Share Posted March 19, 2012 (edited) In the year 2001/2 I knew someone who often went on about one of two websites, BZCommunity and Kanohipower. I didn't visit either website as I didn't care enough about Bionicle to get that into it, but in 2002/3 I heard of a new website called BZPower and at the prompting of this same friend I checked it out. From then on I visited occasionally as a guest, not joining until 2006.(For the earlier bits, I can't recall which year precisely but it was one of the two. I'm like this with any dates :S) Edited March 19, 2012 by Spink Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Sybre Posted March 19, 2012 Share Posted March 19, 2012 Heard of BZPower when browsing through the BIONICLE.com gallery and saw something made by something else you can get on BZPower and it mentioned the source, so I came to BZPower.When I finally joined, I did VERY noobish stuff.

Makuta_of_Oz Posted March 20, 2012 Share Posted March 20, 2012 That's easy. GOOGLE! :DI often visited the Bionicle site via a search engine, and BZPower was always a top result.

I spent 100% of ny time in Comedies, which would explain my devotion to the Libraries I didn't.

Needless to say, it didn't work.And another addition: What was/were your first act/s on BZP upon joining?I would like to think that the first was posting my story I had intended, but my electronic records betray me - I got distracted and posted in a couple GD topics that I was interested in for some reason. That's probably why I'm still here...

Toa Smoke Monster Posted March 20, 2012 Share Posted March 20, 2012 I learned about BZP's existence while I was looking for information on the 06 Bionicle storyline on the Lego message forums.

Dark_Stranger Posted March 21, 2012 Share Posted March 21, 2012 I forget what I was doing when I stumbled across "The Many Deaths of Toa Tuyet", but that was my initial eposure to BZP. I joined about a month later (that is, early October 2010). My very first post was in the topic for the Meltdown review, but the first real act of any importance was entering a MoC in the BS01 Tobduk contest, which got very few, but fairly positive, reations."But as long as I'm here, I get to bust heads!"

Daiker Posted March 22, 2012 Share Posted March 22, 2012 Brickshelf, surprisingly. At the time, tons of things including this mysterious BZPower showed up. In curiosity I visited it, but was confused by layouts and whatnot (keep in mind I was new to the internet and was like, 9 or 10). A year or 2 later, it came up again and I decided to check it out. It looked nice and was filled with a seemingly great community, so I went ahead and joined. The rest is history. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I visited a few times to read up on the latest news, and eventually joined when it became obvious that it was a much better forum than the Lego Message Boards. :PI forget what the first thing I did was, but my first month included a few topics on sets and mask, comments on news stories, and eventually posting lame MOCs.
