  1. Honestly a lot of it is the generational gap. A lot of us who were active when we were younger have moved on into the early stages of adulthood and have various degrees of ability to consistently participate. The younger generation that is now picking up Bioniclearly doesn't participate as heavily in message boards and rather see much of their online presence funneled through social media and other outlets

  2. BZPower never on an invision free template as it was never hosted on invisonfree. ;) There was a period where it was on a default skin due to upgrading the forum software and the old skin becoming incompatible.

     

    As for the current skin, it was modernized take on the original skin. It could probably be updated with some new tricks at some point, but it'll likely remain largely the same. And if you want the default invison skin, you could always just switch to it.

    All you need to know is that Than, Watashi Wa, and Windrider had no business being that amazing in the Q&A forum.

    I love you too. :)

     

    I remember when you were Than Matoran of the Village People.

     

    What can I say, mistakes were made!

  4. We're well aware of the discrepancy in design between the front page and the forums. That's because our forum style is from 2012 and the front page hasn't had a major redesign since 2004. :P

    I personally don't know.

     

    Over the years, I've found that this place has a very broad dark side, making it rather unappealing in most cases. This dark side spreads to the behavior of the members, the staff - anybody. It makes me less and less eager to come back. Look at the latest war. That's an example of something that would make me less eager to come.

     

    This is a kids' site, people. What do you prove by discussing those topics here, of all places? Maybe consider that the kids don't fully aware what was discussed this latest war, and I doubt that their parents would like it if their kids heard about it on a website full of self-absorbed teenagers. Some people have traditional families in which those topics aren't discussed so openly, and in families like this, those topics are explained by the parents to the children.

     

    That aside (seeing as I wouldn't like to get off topic or start a whole other war entirely...), that's just one of those things that sets me off and makes me not want to come here. We don't need to discuss politics and religion or anything controversial here. It's stated very clearly in the rules. Certainly, I can't deny that I've talked about politics here in a very open mannerism but a year ago, but I couldn't help it. It's human nature. But sometimes it just can't be helped.

     

    But still. The presence of my friends keeps me here. I would trade e-mails with them in a heartbeat, but I don't use e-mail that much, and I prefer instant messaging or a personal messenger like the one here. I will probably trade e-mails with them now, since I don't see contacting with them over IM. But anyhow, the only other thing that keeps me here is the Library. I love to post my writings here and share them with the people I know to get their personal opinion. But I've lost most of my reviewers. So now what do I have to keep me here?

     

    Nothing. It's simply a distraction from school. Not to say that I'm leaving now. It's just that I probably won't frequent the place much, now that's been concluded. But I've dragged on for ages now to say something so simple. So again...I personally don't know.

    You call that a war? Thats cute.

    Please avoid being antagonistic, the last thing we need is people continuing to be divisive.

  6. Might as well have this topic closed since there hasn't been any more posts.

    I suppose that's what will happen now that you revived it. We generally don't have the time to go through and close every topic once it hits a certain date, we simply ask that member's don't post in them if they're more than 30 days old.

     

    Topic closed due to revival.

  7. In all honesty, bar Bionicle coming back, I think it'll slowly fade into irrelevance. It's sad to say, but it's struggling as is now, don't really see much of a path forward after another 11 years. Then again, it's hard to say what the internet will even be like 11 years from now, so it's like prognosticating what anything will look like in 2023. All I know is I'll be in my early 30s. :P
