OK, it's finally up!
This one was a huge project, as you can tell by looking at the number of character bios on the site. It was done in a rush, so it's not perfect, but we'll definitely be adding to it. I have some fairly big plans to beef up the site over the next half year, which I think you guys will really appreciate.
Some new content from Greg will be put on the site, probably starting this week.
This was a pet project of mine. BIONICLEstory was born of necessity, and the Mahri Flash presentation (which you can still play here) was slick. But it didn't get across the entirety of the BIONICLE story or universe... there was no official repository of past storyline info or fun stuff. It didn't really fit on BIONICLE.com, but this is a much better place for it.
In case you're wondering... this certainly doesn't replace the BZPower reference center, or BioSector01, or any other fan effort. It's not meant to be as detailed as BS01, for example; it's meant more to get people up to speed on the back story, and put the current story into context for new and experienced BIONICLE fans.
It also gave me a chance to do some writing... I drafted all but the Phantoka chapter descriptions, which Greg reviewed and adjusted where necessary. I knew all those hours spent reading about the storyline since 2001 would come in handy some day!
The response I've gotten from others within the company has been very positive - everybody seems to appreciate having this information available in a single place.
So, while there might not be a lot that's new for all you core BIONICLE fans, it's a huge step for me in expressing my vision of BIONICLE on the 'net. I'm anxiously awaiting the stats report to see how it does... it'll take a few weeks to get an accurate depiction, but I'm hoping there's enough to keep people on the site for a long time, and keep them coming back. After all, there's a ton of stuff that has been created over the years, and it would be a shame not to use it.
So, yes, there will be more stuff to do in coming months. Don't think it's finished!
