  1. It's nice to have a more distinctive logo on the site again, because the only-text logo was just blah. This is much better and fitting, but we still need new buttons and images and everything.

  2. I usually add any people I remember having conversations with; it's not necessarily a system I make use of, as I consider it trivial. Besides, it doesn't mean a being friend with someone grants me extra access to their profiles, unlike other social network sites.

  3. I have to agree with Fishers that children are probably few and far between. I imagine that Glatorian and Agori have evolved to mature more quickly, so their childhood is short and intense; they do, after all, have to deal with a harsh world.

    Remember, though, LL, that the world of Spherus Magna was quite peaceful before the Shattering. Considering that reproducing wasn't such a major focus while the planet was broken into three pieces, I don't think there's really been much of a biological difference, except being able to last longer without basic resources.
  4. Relax censorship. Some words just don't need to be filtered and some websites should be permitted to be linked to, given it's pretty clear everyone goes on it. (You know what I'm talking about. The video one.)Although a more creative addition would be the introduction of a system that notifies a member if a post they made has been replied to/quoted. It'd be so much easier than traipsing back to a topic every five minutes to see if someone cares about what you said.

    Actually, the new software already has such a feature. If you click the notification button on top of the topic, wait for the pop up menu to come out, there 's a link that says "Options". It will bring you to a page where you can choose for what actions that you do, or are done to relation to your profile, you are being notified about. It's actually quite handy and elegant.
  5. The un-updated word filter. The fact that we can't mention a video site, but the staff can, which is hypocritical.

    Let me correct you on that. The staff are bound to the rules just as much as the members are. I suppose you are referring to the occasions when a video site that is forbidden on the forums is linked to on the front page. That exception is made when a video and its comments and links to other videos are appropiate. In the forums, it´s impossible to control all posted videos, so better not to allow them at all. On the front page it´s another matter because the staff controls what is posted there and knows it´s appropiate. In the forums, not even the Reporters who would post a link on the front page are allowed to link to any site you must not link to either. ;)My pet peeves are slow loading times when sending PMs, silly disputes and when people can´t simply respect the beliefs and hobbies of another.~Gata. ;)
    That's interesting. The server has been quite fast since they updated it for me. I have't lost any major post as of yet. Then again, I haven't made one for a long time.However, I'm really not into the rule where every single site that has a commentary system is banned. Sure, some sites are just pure flaming and are definitely not appropriate for children, but it is only logical any person on the internet will find themselves in some sites somehow, no matter how strict access he/she may have. Allowing people to access more content is a healthy decision for the site, as it opens up much more discussion topics than before. It'd also be fun to have a bit more forum updates and fixes from time to time. I understand the busy schedule some may have, but that's why none should claim a task that is unable to complete within its deadline.
  6. Am I the only one who doesn't think the Hot Topics are needed whatsoever? I rarely used them myself, and while it's fun to see your topic on the front page, it only slowed the server down from what I understand.That being said, it or the Member Spotlight would most likely be restored by me. I can't think of any truly needed cosmetic alterations to BZP.

    I also agree wit the fact that Hot Topics aren't needed at all. It can get quite annoying how much people care about their topic becoming an easy-to-answer topic, with over a hundred posts, just so it can reach the front page of Bzpower. I would much rather to allow users to post certain sites (Come on, even younger fans can venture into some popular sites that are banned), and most of all, make every post, no matter what forum it is on to count.
  7. It's nice to see Tohu's account is used, even if it's not on purpose. There's many people that have absolutely no idea whatsoever about who he is, or that he even exists. Being used to post news - even because of the new software - is a nice change from just having his account gathering dust. I'd be nice if he got an avatar and a signature, though.

  8. So basically Gamzee creates Lord English by creating Cal who is prototyped to make Doc Scratch

    Uhh, actually, two things. Gamzee didn't create Lil Cal; he created the Jack Noir harlequin puppet in John room. And second, Lil Cal wasn't prototyped to make Doc Scratch; He was ectobiologically combined with a Magic Cue Ball as well as the HONK honk code to make Doc Scratch.What concerns me the most is, how did LEnglishO.gifrd English get that crazy peg leg? 0_0
    Actually, to be more specific, LE used the ability of Gamzee's bloodline to amplify fears, sent the Condesce through sessions into the kids universe to send Dave a link to the Miracles video, which upon seeing caused Gamzee to flip out and amplify Past!Dave's fear of Lil' Cal enough that he appeared in his dream room, was then sent back in time with Bro to have his own presence create said fear in the beginning, get chopped up and stitched back together for future use against Jack by Bro, who would keep Cal with him while he crossed into the troll incipisphere, where Cal was sent back in time through a defense portal on a doomed Aradiabot, stitched back together to then be used to create Doc Scratch with(apparently based on appearance) the cue ball to essentially put a parasite of himself in Scratch to be released upon Scratch's death and the end of the universe.In the end, even the most crazy plot makes perfect sense.
  9. It's a concept that will save up quite sometime and instantly remove spam. However, removing spam posts is the only purpose I can find that feature to be user of - I understand the need of having to quick reply to everything, but I'm interested into seeing what people actually have to verbally say about my creations, art, creative writing, etc, and not have my MOC rated five stars. I usually don't even care for the score; discussion should always be encouraged. People are not rating machines that collect facts and come out with an outcome; people are living creatures that think. That's what I want to see in my MOC topic.Discussion has been mindlessly put aside, as people always seek to reply more quickly to everything. A rating system would discourage discussion even more. On the other hand, it would minimize spam posts - but is there more to loose than gain?

  10. 1. Does BZP look Bionicle-y in your eyes?I dunno... can you see anything related to Bionicle in the default theme?2. Do you think it looks Bionicle-y in a new-comer's eyes?Same answer as above. No.3. Do you think the current BZP banner/logo is lacking in something?Hapori Tohu.4. Would a design-a-logo-for-BZP contest be a good idea?The Staff are planning a whole theme contest sometime soon, or at least they say we will make the graphics for the new theme.5. What about the current skin for BZP? Could that be more Bionicle-y?Definitely; the buttons, styles, and graphics should all be customized.6. Is BZP lacking in Bionicle-ness in general?Frankly, as I mentioned, it's the default theme. Give the staff time to think how they want to set up the new theme.
