What I want to know is why Bionicle of all things? How was it chosen to suddenly be a meme theme?
From what I've gathered, there was somewhat of a war going on of which meme would become the "Meme of the month" for the me_irl subreddit, someone posted a meme referencing this picture from a few months ago. This sparked a bunch of nostalgia from the posters of the subreddit who began to make all of the Bionicle crossover memes currently on their page.

They do seem to be popping up all over the place today, particularly me irl, who appear to be having some form of meme of the month war.
Haven't posted any myself yet, but a few of them have given me a good chuckle.

Happy Birthday GaliGee
Over 10 years ago your stories captivated my interest and contributed to my desire to stay here.

I don't mind the color scheme, I feel it represents the element effectively and differentiates it from the other elements quite well.

The selected elements sound quite Skylander-y.
Still interesting.

The mask of creation was made by the great beings as one of the first parts of the matoran universe.
I would be plausible that it would be made out of elements from the 'real world' such as gold combined with the godlike 'magical' powers of the great beings.
This would explain only the Great beings know how to create another.
Having a competition for a solid gold one in real life would be rather great.

You think they would have at least cooked the magic first.
Raw Magic... Yuck.

That's okay, that makes us wiser now... right?
Does anyone else think that Bionicle might be exploring space in the new story? After 2010 onwards it's been touched upon via the giant robot bodies being able to soar through it. It may provide an avenue for... aliens of all things? Or whatever constitutes as such in the Bionicle world.
TAK
That moment when you realize that you're now a Turaga.

The magic might simply refer to the powers of the masks.
It's possible...
But, they used other masks to create the mask of creation?
Somehow I don't buy it.

I'm sure happy no one has started complaining yet. Hopefully there are no complaints.
Ugh. There's way too many gold pieces revealed so far.
What is it, the new 2003 Silver?

The mask being forged 'by magic' is an interesting point which I don't think has really been discussed yet.
'Magic' has never really existed properly in BIONICLE as named force as far as I can recollect.This might hint at a slightly new direction?

October 9-12, 2014. And, yes, we should add September 19 as a special Bionicle day or something.
It's already kinda International Talk like a Pirate day.
We probably don't want to compete with those guys, I hear they're pretty cut-throat.
Nuva symbols makes me more hyped. All the hype.
NYCC can't come soon enough. I want to discuss sets!
As keen as I am to discuss sets, I can't wait for Lore more.

Guys, the :"writings" on the mask are the Nuva symbols. Just thought I should point that out.
A few people mentioned this in the other News topic, It makes sense as Artakha created the Nuva Symbols.
I'd assume they are part of some sort of runic language of creation, possibly the writing of the great beings?

Not only is there whispering, but if you listen carefully, you can also hear what sounds like some kind of Gregorian chanting in a deeper voice.
Sounds somewhat harder to transcribe.

What are the whispering voices in the background of that video? Any thoughts? Maybe the Great Beings?
Potentially.
Artakha perhaps.
Or maybe the mask is calling to you.
- Roki
Maybe just atmospheric whispering to add to the mystique.
/killjoy mode.
I'm fine with atmospheric whispering, the recreation of the 2001 mysterious feel is something that I believe a lot of former fans out there are chasing again.
Regardless of what it is, it's a step in the right direction in my opinion.

I hope we have some new blood on the story team; it already seems Greg isn't as involved as he was before, which is one thing on my wishlist granted.
If Greg isn't involved then there's undoubtedly new blood, seeing as he's one of the only members of the old story team who was actually an accomplished writer. Someone's going to have to bear the bulk of the task of writing the new story.
I wouldn't be surprised if Greg isn't writing because the new story will be told primarily through a TV series or similar medium which Greg lacks experience writing for.
I'm fairly sure you're spot on there.
Assuming Hero factory is over, I think BIONICLE will definitely have a TV series. Potentially starting with a one off movie for the relaunch.

Well I think we've found out what the next BZP anniversary spinny is going to look like.

Welcome back.

Greg has now confirmed that he is not writing the 2015 story over on the LEGO forums.

Gathered friends, listen again to our legend... of the BIONICLE.
The Mask of Creation looks great, I love the aesthetic.
How long before we start to decipher the runes upon the mask and on the base?- Roki
EDIT: Looking closely, the runes appear to be the same language as or runes very that are very similar to the the nuva symbols.
EDIT 2: Just remembered that the Nuva symbols were created by Artakha so it does look like they are looking at paying at least some tribute to existing lore. -
Finally an official confirmation.
Welcome back BIONICLE!
Though shouldn't this perhaps be merged with the Official BIONICLE 2015 discussion or the earlier announcement topic?- Roki

So I was looking around on the Lego official website looking for more BIONICLE 2015 stuff and it looks like LEGO must have uploaded a wish list for BIONICLE!
http://cache.lego.com/downloads/bionicle/wishlists/wishlist_english.pdf
It's even got pictures of the sets listed!Even with this amazing find, I am still pretty hyped for this countdown.

I used to post a lot more than I do now.
1676 posts in ~12 years averages out to 133 a year.
Yet I doubt I have posted 133 times in the past year, I mostly just read these days.- Roki
Other possible elements?
in Bionicle Storyline & Theories
Posted · Edited by Roki
Elements have been a topic of intense and frequent discussion since the very early days of Bionicle and BZPower, they’re pretty much a mainstay of the S&T forums. The addition of new elements and comparison with existing elements to justify their inclusion is something that is brought up time and time again. Before the great forum outage, there was a topic named “Official Elements Discussion” which was a mecca of theories, proposals and debates. I’ll see if I can dig up a link to the topic in the archives, as it’s an interesting read and went for over 250 pages from memory.
The thread really took off once additional elements began to become canonized in the Legends books, typically by Greg describing in passing a cameo or death scene of a Toa of a previously unseen element. Everyone wanted to contribute to canon and to speculate on which element would be added next.
There were a few proposals that kept popping up repeatedly:
I was a much more active poster and contributor in those threads than I am now and submitted quite a few proposals myself.
I feel like it’s a bit too late to go adding in new elements to canon now, but I’m always up for discussion of new potential elements and finding ways to explain and justify the interesting variety of elements that exist in the canon.
