Erebus Posted November 5, 2011 Excellent! Take your time Greg, actually raise your child instead of letting the TV do it, like my parents did :PAll jokes aside, what is it he does for a living now, anyways? I know he's a writer, but what does he write? Does he have his own little book series or what...MTLHe's been writing for Ninjago, apparently. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Makuta Matata Posted November 16, 2011 Good, Greg's still with us.Hopefully we'll get some story updates soon, but it's fine that he's taking his time because he's busy. Three on Three - Memoirs of the Dead - Winner!!! Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
T.B.O.C Posted November 16, 2011 It'd good to hear that he and his child are well, I can't wait until he has time to do some BIONICLE story for us, but I'll be patient with the rest of us until he is free to do so.Huh, Ninjago writing, huh? Maybe I'll have to read a bit of it, it has to be good if its him...

TheShadowedOne1 Posted November 20, 2011 Well, I'm glad I know why he hasn't been writing the serials, but as far as I know. Bionicle is dead. But I will go on and keep the story alive with my films. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
GeluNumber1 Posted November 21, 2011 I'm happy to hear he thinks about "us" at times. It's good to get news on him. Why are orange and black such a good color Combination ? Purple is pretty, and so is blue. Pink hurts your eyes, green is quite mellowing, black is very threatning, red is cool, orange is SO awesome, yellow's hard to read... But you can't see white at all! Oh, wait. I forgot brown. Here's my thoughts: If a person tells the truth and says, " I always lie," Is he lying? Or is he telling the truth? And what has a mouth, but no head, and a body, but no torso? Do caterpillars like to tend to supporting colum of stone's every need? Or is that name misleading by nature? Speaking of nature, why are the children of animals called offspring? don't many young beasts come alive in spring, and thus, should be called onspring? Heeeeeeyy..... I got the first post on a page for the first time. Who knows; it may happen again. What the... It did happen again... and again... YEAH! I'M ENCOUNTERING PROTODERMIS!

TheSkeletonMan939 Posted November 22, 2011 I wonder if Greg has started another chapter of TYQ/TPTB yet.Man, I hope so. He's clearly a busy guy with Ninjago, but still... if he were to just write a little every now and then.... Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Lewa Krom Posted November 23, 2011 Let's also hope that this next chapter isn't all "another plot twist?!?! What?!?!!" kinda thing and that we get some actual character development for once. Or maybe that's just me. 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
Nuhrii the Metruan Posted November 23, 2011 I would be happy if we got a "next chapter" at all. The year is almost over, two serials are still running (at least they haven't been concluded, I'm not sure that running is the right word here) and we don't know if BIONICLEStory.com will still be around next year.

Guest Posted November 23, 2011 Greg has been part of this online community for ten years, I'm sure he won't just leave and never come back without a notice. At least not intentionally: he doesn't have all the time in the world and a kid is a big responsibility. My guess is: he's put BIONICLE on hiatus and is planning to get back to it at some point.

My guess is: he's put BIONICLE on hiatus and is planning to get back to it at some point.Well then I guess the only thing to do now is wait. It's unfortunate that we may have to wait even longer for a story update, or at least some closure, but it's understandable, considering the pressures he has and the fact that BIONICLE is not a priority for him, or Lego.-Star Solaris Magnus.

Lewa Krom Posted December 2, 2011 IMO, if a kid lies about his age of this site and Greg contacts him, it's the kid who would be at fault because he/she made a false claim about his age. If a almost-21 year old goes into a bar and is able to get a drink because he creates a false ID, it's not the bartender's fault for the incident and he can't be held responsible. So, IMO, Greg should be able to contact anyone who says they're over the age of 13. Anyone who lies about it should suffer the consequences, should any arise. 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
