The Hip Historian Iaredios Posted October 22, 2011 Share Posted October 22, 2011 Yes. My family has been hit horribly by the economic recession, and life has been.... 'shoot' for the past few months. I have also been struck with depression, and public school systems have stressed me out to the point of me dropping out. I am, however, transferring my education to online schooling.Many people may see this as a curse, but I see it as a gift instead. It has allowed me to get closer to my faith, get more attached to the Bionicle Story-Line (The sets on the other hand, have been getting much less important to me.), my cursing has increased, though I still refuse to speak certain words; and these experiences have made me more jolly and happy, matured me greatly and increased my wisdom. OH and my drawing skills have greatly improved. I think I have grown up quite a bit these past-6 months. By reading this topic thoroughly, I can see many people have changed, for better or worse; so yes, I have. 4. Would you sing a song for me? NEVAH! I fear the lords of this realm and it's common-people might smite me.

Vorahk1Panrahk2 Posted October 23, 2011 Share Posted October 23, 2011 (edited) Yeah... I haven't change at all. It's only been six months anyway, a little less even. I'm not going to change a whole lot in six months, especially when those months were relatively uneventful. Not that this is a bad thing- I'm quite glad nothing drastic has happened to me. Maybe my interests have changed a bit, but not a whole lot. Edited October 23, 2011 by Vorahk1Panrahk2 Quote BZPRPG Profiles Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
16N1K4 Posted October 23, 2011 Share Posted October 23, 2011 Well, yes. For starters, I'm less bored now. I can finally talk about Bionicle again without feeling alienated. MOC-ing had been at a serious down-low, but now I can get back. I've also been making an amateur website while the downtime (I can't advertise it here, though).I'm glad I can open Bzpower and be actually able to do something. The forums look fantastic, by the way. It may have taken a looong time, but after scrutinizing the forums, it may have been worth the wait.

The Guy Who Came Back Posted October 29, 2011 Share Posted October 29, 2011 (edited) 1. Have you changed since BZP came back? Yes. 2. How have you changed? I've lost possibly all interest in Bionicle. Also, I've grown an interest in computers, deeply. I've improved my design skills (like graphic design and schematic design.) 3.

Have you noticed anyone else change?4. *insert pointless question here*1. You mean in the time frame between the return of the forums in October and today? Not really, although I guess I have changed while the forums were offline.2. I realized that I could survive without BZPower and that it may be less important to me than I thought, although I am still very dedicated to the site. And I guess I´ve matured as well- who doesn´t? And unfortunately, I have took things too emotional and seriously at least twice here since the forums returned. :(3. I don´t stalk anyone, so hard to say who hsa changed and how. :P4.

Ziko Posted December 3, 2011 Share Posted December 3, 2011 (edited) I'm not sure if I've changed that much since the forums returned, but I did while the forums were offline.For one thing, I'm not as "talkative" here, which is probably a result of getting used to the ghost town of the almost-ready-to-put-online boards; suddenly having people here was kinda weird, but it was nice to see the forums really being used. I think I'm more calm here than before. The downtime was a good break, and it was nice to get away from the BZDrama that was much too common.I also started editing on a bunch of wikis while the forums were down and got better at wikicode, but now that school's going that has tapered off.As for other people, I've seen most of the people here change (assuming I knew anything about them before). The forums were offline for a long time, and I don't think anyone would go the whole time without changing.

Artezza Magnus Posted December 4, 2011 Share Posted December 4, 2011 1. Have you changed since BZP came back?In some ways, yes.2. How have you changed?I no longer have focus. I can't concentrate on anything anymore, for some reason. This is bad becausse I'm also in my final year of secondary school, and the mountains of work are really frustrating me, especially because more than half of the seven subjects I'm doing right now are completely worthless for my career path. I'm also sad because my teen years are nearly over, and I feel that I've wasted them...I've never had the chance to really let loose and enjoy myself. I hate this negativity I keep breeding in my head.I'm also not looking forward to the next year. Its going to be a year of massive changes and challenges. By the time June ends, everything will be changed forever, and we'll all be moving onto the next stage of our lives. I'm frightened I'm going to lose several people I really care about...3.

Ektris Posted December 6, 2011 Share Posted December 6, 2011 Well sure I have. I like to think I've become more accepting and modest, and have strove to keep my cool more. Whether anyone here agrees is up to them to decide, though. But they're things I've worked on.There's only a few people here who I talk to regularly anymore, but because of that I haven't really noticed any changes having been there during the changes.

Andrewnuva199 Posted December 19, 2011 Share Posted December 19, 2011 1. Have you changed since BZP came back?Yes, I would argue that I have.2. How have you changed?My interests have gone beyond BIONICLE. Heck, they edge close to ecplipsing my interest in LEGO. I've latched onto several video game franchises, become a good fan of various kinds of movies, and even a few TV shows have sucked out alot of my time. Some of them are minor (Super 8 was one of the best films I've seen), some so-so (I'm a wiz at Garry's [game]) and some are of major intrigue (OH MATA NUI THE PONIES HALLLLLP).I also have more interest in creative arts. I've been wokring on my writing skills, and people seem to be impressed at what I've done so far. This could be of value as I edge closer into adulthood. I'm already 17, and I'm on my penultimate grade school year.I also feel I've picked up quite the philosophical feel on life. Questioning things, debating various issues and trying to make sense of odds and ends. It often feels overwhelming, honestly. And a bit frightening at times as well.3. Have you noticed anyone else change?Depends on one's definiton of changed. Some people have changed their posting patterns in rather obvious ways, while others' choice in decorative avatars and banners, along with what forums they frequent, signal various shifts in interest that might be considered dominating across the website (you all know what I'm talking about.... yes, I'm looking at you, Homestuck). But beyond that, it does seem that we're all a little older and wiser, and coming back here kinda feels like going to one's first or second high school reunion.4. *insert pointless question here*VALVE WHERE IN MANGANIA IS MY EPISODE THREE?!

Brikman McStudz Posted December 24, 2011 Share Posted December 24, 2011 1. Yes2. I'd say that I've become more interested in filmmaking after watching some videos on video site. I know a lot more about the Internet, how it (the community) functions, memes, and how its come to plague my life with evil. My interest in LEGO has waned almost, but I've mostly blamed on lackluster sets this year and more of a yearn to MOC, but is to lazy to (or I could being in self-denial about the Dark Ages, I don't know).Started high school, which I enjoy a lot more then middle school. I've become more interested in actually drawing (as opposed to doodling on worksheets) and writing. I enjoy singing more, and my musical tastes have shifted. I once was one of those who listened primarily to orchestrated video game/movie soundtracks. Now I listen to Symphonic Metal, which includes bands such as Nightwish, Within Temptation, and Epica. Its like orchestrated soundtracks, but with metal. :)3. I don't know a whole lot of folks here (seclude myself to the LEGO boards), but I say most people have matured since April (I think it was April).4. Yes, I would like some of that cake.

Windblazer Posted January 9, 2012 Share Posted January 9, 2012 1. Yes indeed, at least enough to warrant writing some sort of reply to these questions.2. I'm a little bit more asocial than I was before the downtime, and maybe less of a goober (for the most part).3. I haven't really gone around asking people if they've changed, but I'd think that the better part of a year is enough to cause change. 4.
