Help Boost Book Sales!
Hey guys. I know this might not be much, but still, I have to do something.
So here's the story. Bionicle Legends#4 has been out -- not officially, but ever since the first one sighted -- for two weeks, and apparently there's this unspoken default rule of two weeks, and spoilers are ok in spoiler form. However, how many of us know about Greg's book schedule for next year, and how a book was cut from it? Well, why was it cut? Loss of book sales. Now, what will spoilers do to book sales? Obviously won't help them as kids can just read what happens on BZPower. Instead, spoilers will probably hurt book sales, and as we all know, that is something no one can afford -- especially if everyone here wants their book back for next year.
If you all want an extra book for next year, then spoilers aren't the way to go. I talked with Greg some time ago about when they should be allowed, and we agreed on two weeks after the official release date (Oct 1). Now, here's a quote from Greg I found in the OGD...
The last time I spoke with someone at BZP about it, we agreed to wait until two weeks after the official release date, which was 10/1. The problem with "telling BZP about it" is then people don't need to buy the book and book sales stay flat. We need book sales to go up to make sure the series doesn't wind up getting cancelled somewhere down the road.

Just to note, I have no idea if that someone at BZP was me or not, but as this was posted a couple days after I asked him, I have a good chance it's me
But anyway, here I am now, asking you to not post spoilers. Technically, there's no authority rule over them, as bones is very busy with life and schooling, but still -- I believe we ought to not post spoilers. And we should do this for Greg, for ourselves, for that book we're missing, etc.
So... I guess this boils down to those of you who wish to follow along and be spoiler-free for a couple more weeks.

P.S. - Who knows of a good way to turn this into a huge campaign to not post spoilers?
