Generally I don't find any particular aspect of BZP annoying, other than perhaps the lack of provision of a group instant communication function and the linking to other forums rule. Though I perfectly understand the reasoning behind these rules and I support their continuation. -Roki

I Always just assumed it was to show different forms of the mask of shadows.-Roki

Happy Birthday :)May you enjoy the next year of your life.-Roki

Nostalgia from last February? Good grief, man. You're worse than these poor soda demons.I don't believe was around to see the one in February, I was more referring to the various name and rank changes and staff-pranks over the last 10 years.-Roki

Due to the actual implementation of the Nuva Symbols being a plot device, I'll use another plot device to make sense of it.Destiny.The EP that transformed the Nuva, knew of their destiny and thus knew that in order to face the greater foes in their future, they needed the training of battling without elemental powers and to come together more as a team. By making the Nuva fight against an enemy more powerful than them (perchance wielding some of the same powers Makuta have innately) whilst depowered, they gained the training and experience needed to aid in the completion of their destiny in Karda-Nui. The Nuva had also not lost yet and thus needed to be humbled to prevent them from becoming arrogant. If the Nuva symbols had not have been created, then they would not have lost their powers, and easily beaten their foes, resulting in either the Rahkshi completely defeating the Toa Nuva in the MoL saga or the Karda Nui Makuta defeating them.This in turn causes them not to complete their destiny and awaken Mata-Nui. Though, that's just a cheap way out of a plot hole .-Roki

My guess would be a combination of both.Due to shadow matoran being matoran I'd say thier access to their element is inherently limited in comparison to Shadow Toa, and other beings with no such imposed limitations.Especially those trained in shadow manipulation.-Roki

Been a while since the staff have done one of these.Gave me a good nostalgia rush .-Roki

As far as Bionicle goes, I identify myself with the the matoran displayed in my display picture. For BZP? There's not really many words, but I view myself as the conglomerate of my actions over the vast time period of my stay here. -Roki

I'd like to meet any of the member I've befriended at various points throughout my membership. Alternatively, any of the old hardcore S&T guys, I'd love to have some IRL lore debates and such.Sadly, Australia gets in the way of these things.-Roki

S&T and GD.A long time ago, it was the Library and the art forum.-Roki

Some sort of champion from a building in which a production line is found.-Roki

Personally, I've never really noticed the fads in MOCing enough to like or dislike them myself.Though some of the ones mentioned in this topic have made me think back upon how many times I've seen them.-Roki

High school friends? Most don't know.Online friends? Some know, some don't.University friends? Almost all know.Work colleagues? None know.-Roki

It's very much a small-towny feel nowadays.Though back before the end of Bionicle, it seemed more like a mega-city to me. Though,this feel does remind me more of the community I originally stumbled upon back in 2002. I like all of the different small things that make BZPower, BZPower.-Roki

Basically, my first year of membership.No grammar, no clue, no restraints. Luckily it didn't take me too long to wise up.-Roki

I'll still visit if it's still here.Though,I guess we'll be the equivalent of a sub type of "Classic" car enthusiasts and such for Lego lines. -Roki

I don't mind the new spinny. I probably would have preferred a BIONICLE themed one, though this is just as good.-Roki

Hard to pick one, though I'd like to mention Spiriah and Tridax for their characterization during their brief appearances.Always somewhat liked Icarax, though Teridax will always be the Makuta to me.-Roki

Over the last 4-5 months I haven't visited at all. Life got hectic and to be honest I just kind of... forgot.First time since 2002 that's happened.Heh, must be getting older.-Roki

I generally like the avatars of users who have unique art as an avatar and do not change it.-Roki

Still a minority. I severely doubt we'll ever be even close the majority. -Roki

[*]Yes, I do believe I have.[*]Subtle personality evolution.[*]Yes.-Roki

I remember something about some S&T blog i was working on, though during the downtime I've forgotten what it was. -Roki

They were here before, Just now as 'meme's' have become a part of mainstream internet culture, the majority of members have now been exposed to them.Thus they appear in greater numbers than before. -Roki

Yeah, the theory itself is still a WIP. Gotta add them in later. Thanks for the comment -Roki
