  1. Erm... *cough cough* Congrats Spi! Also, blog mods are to FA's as the blog leader is to FL. So methinks you two are equal there, but Mak has been a staff longer ~U

    Archivists, Unite!

    Awww... That's pretty nifty. I wonder if they explained the picture, and had a little article about Bionicle archives Those Canadians must be proud having an entire city devoted to their work ~U
  3. Well, the wiki staff actually hoped to celebrate this ON the wiki, but obviously that won't happen Either way, I guess that the 4th isn't exactly the official day the wiki was created, but sure enough we can celebrate it on this day Now... I'd fill this entry with a boring story of how it grew, but I can't. I wasn't there until like half a year later But, I can say that the wiki has grown dramatically. I mean, it was created with literally nothing. And now, one year later, look at it. The wiki is the biggest source of Bionicle storyline information ever! It surpassed the main site some time ago, thanks to editors like you! So let's toast to the great collaborated site known as BS01 Wiki! (a.k.a. to others as Bionicle Wiki, BioWiki, etc.) And on that same note, let's hope that it will be up soon, along with the rest of BS01 ~U (Oh, they grow up so fast!)
  4. Oi, tomorrow, today, the next... We really don't know when the wiki was created, but I guess it will be celebrated on the 4th (For those of you who are scratching your heads in the US (like me), that's 'cause it's the 4th where Bioran lives) ~U

    Ahh...the greatest of all the story changes.... ~U P.S. - Somehow, I find it funny that after the meeting, everyone went to Leah's to eat. I'm sure it's very normal meeting-like thing to do, but I just find it funny...
  6. Hey guys. I know this might not be much, but still, I have to do something. So here's the story. Bionicle Legends#4 has been out -- not officially, but ever since the first one sighted -- for two weeks, and apparently there's this unspoken default rule of two weeks, and spoilers are ok in spoiler form. However, how many of us know about Greg's book schedule for next year, and how a book was cut from it? Well, why was it cut? Loss of book sales. Now, what will spoilers do to book sales? Obviously won't help them as kids can just read what happens on BZPower. Instead, spoilers will probably hurt book sales, and as we all know, that is something no one can afford -- especially if everyone here wants their book back for next year. If you all want an extra book for next year, then spoilers aren't the way to go. I talked with Greg some time ago about when they should be allowed, and we agreed on two weeks after the official release date (Oct 1). Now, here's a quote from Greg I found in the OGD... Just to note, I have no idea if that someone at BZP was me or not, but as this was posted a couple days after I asked him, I have a good chance it's me But anyway, here I am now, asking you to not post spoilers. Technically, there's no authority rule over them, as bones is very busy with life and schooling, but still -- I believe we ought to not post spoilers. And we should do this for Greg, for ourselves, for that book we're missing, etc. So... I guess this boils down to those of you who wish to follow along and be spoiler-free for a couple more weeks. ~U P.S. - Who knows of a good way to turn this into a huge campaign to not post spoilers?

    Funny enough, I know what you are talking about with confidentiality agreements. But anyway, nice stuff going here Greg. Also I do wonder one thing, when you say major major story changes, this means loopholes, and not entirely skewing the current storyling to fit the future? I'd hate having to majorly reshape the pass. I mean Takua was noted as a Ta-Matoran, but know we know him as a Matoran of Light -- that's not a big change. Hopefully that's as far as the storyline team would go with such things... ~U

    The Real Utopia

    Heh... Just had to say that. Anyhow, here's the background story. One day, while I was talking to Swert on MSN, he had as his icon, basically a picture of what he would look like as a certain cartoon style. Now, as the show itself isn't intended for kids under 12 and whatnot, I won't say the name. This picture hopefully won't give anything away to the name either, but for those of you who know what cartoon this is based off of, don't say it. Danke Now, as I was saying, I was talking to Swert. He had this icon of what he would look like as this cartoon style. I asked him where he made it, and he linked me to it. Some minutes later, I finished what I would look like as this cartoon style. Walaa. There ya go. My cartoon self ~U P.S. - For those of you who talk to me on MSN or AIM, you'll know I love the face "XD". As you can see by the picture, I still love that face
  10. The day was young. The young lad known as Ut was helping his father unload the car filled with 2 by 4 wood blocks. At first, all seemed calm. Things went smooth. Take, slide, ship, stack. Then, on the second to last board... SLICE! Immediately, Ut dropped the block and gave a cry. The boy turned around to show his father a centimeter-long splinter, one that was deep within the skin. The boy ran inside, yelling for his mother. He asked for the means to remove the splinter, but the mother didn't know. As the mom ran throughout the house and out to the garage, looking for tweezers, Ut walked into his bathroom and took out a needle. After a few minutes, Ut's mother came back with a pair of tweezers from the neighbors, and with some rubbing alcohol to sterilize the needle with. After shouting to get his mother out of his bathroom so he could work, Ut did. Slowly but surely, Ut probed the needle inside his flesh, just underneath the splinter. He slowly thrusted upward, trying to ignore the pain. Unfortunately, the splinter was too deep and the tip was too far inside the skin for the tweezers to work, so he had only one option left. Ut took the needle, and began to pick at his skin. Minutes later, the hole was big enough for him to get the splinter out. He took the needle and slid it under the splinter. Probe, pick, failed, probe again, thrust upward, (parry block, jab )... After a while, he finally got a milllimeter of the head above the skin. He pressed down on his finger to make the splinter wave in the air a little higher. Then, with the tweezers, he grabbed the splinter. At first, he tug slightly, but the splinter did not budge. Then fed up with the piece of wood, Ut speedily pulled it out. *Kisses finger* Eh, I won't win any awards for this story, but still -- my finger hurt. ~U
  11. Hey people, Today I'd like to promote this poll created by a fellow wiki Moderator who runs the NT. Bionicle Sector 01 Poll: NewsTablet Content That's the poll. Anyhow, just felt like getting the word out. Us mods must help each other out now ~U EDITSIES: I locked this for a certain reason: Comment in the poll, not here. Thanks folks.

    Bs01 Is Down Again.

    What chat? I'm not quite sure what you are talking about... ~U
  13. Don't ask why. I'll give you an answer right here: We don't know yet. It was a calm day, everything seemed calm, that is. BZP wasn't being slow or anything. But the next thing I knew, BS01 was down. But, I've been used to having BS01 down (hence the past two months) so yea. Everyday, I get on MSN and ask Swert if he heard any word of what happened yet. Nein. I have looked through some forums, and have noticed that many people miss it/where using it just when it went off/want it back/[insert your feelings and yearning for BS01 here]. We're planning and formulating ideas -- even without any idea what went wrong. So don't worry, BS01 will be back up one way or another. Perhaps one, perhaps another. Anyway, I leave you with one word of advice that is like... the pivotal thing of this whole chaos that BS01 has been in. This even includes things you guys have no idea about "Communications are key" ~U

    In Honor Of Penny

    Rest in piece, Penny. You're worth more than your name, I'll grant ya that ~U (priceless, that's the answer folks)
  15. I know I know... It's bad. But it's so good At first, someone brought it home. I looked at it for a little while, then I picked one up. Pulled it to my lips and... (don't think I'll ever be the same again...)... ...ate it... Yes, I ate it. It was good too. After that, I told my mum to buy a whole other package of them just for me to eat. I started to eat them like a madman. What exactly am I talking about? That's what I'm talking about. Yes, cashews. Cashews are the "awesomest" and "bestest" snack around. Well...maybe not the "bestest", but they are pretty darn good Yessum, be drug free, but cashew free? NEVER!! *rallies other cashew lovers* ~U P.S. - BS01 has been suspended again. To tell you the truth, we don't know why yet. We have yet to get word from BZP about it.

    Busy Bee

    Ever since BS01 has been back up, I've been busier than ever. Adding things here, checking the edits there, trying to finish up some projects way over there. Et cetera... And as some of you may have noticed, my appearence in the S&T has been....well...down the past couple of days. I'm getting busier as a high schooler, and checking the edits takes some time to. And after that, I have to hope over to add some things in to BS01. Take today for example. I apparently have to go to church in a few minutes, then after I get back, supposedly there's a band practice/jam. Then...a party I'm going to. Then once all that's done...I expect to find myself very busy doing paper rewrites, studying for tests, and other bits of school work. Gah... time is just too short for people with lives ~U
  17. One happy dance for each letter of number Yes, it appears that BS01 is finally up! I'm not sure if this is for good or not, but that won't stop me from editing the wiki! Actually...I have to check the previous edits first... ~U

    Fs"6"u? Xd

    Font size 6 U? Sorry, had to laugh at that. I found it amusing. Why do I find it amusing? Well...I do, other's might not. Wysp posted a topic, asking if 2007 was confirmed to be underwater. I said no, and he said "thanks, FS6U." You can find his post here. Now, I can be called FS8U, and just read one of my content blocks for why I can be called that, and who coined the term. Sorry Wysp, but I just found that hilarious Good to know that you either know me from BS01 wiki or actually read my blog, however. Don't worry about being 2 numbers off, so yea. ~U
  19. Woot! Brownie points to the nerd who can read Bionicle I can't read it yet, but I could probably guess well enough. Most of the Matoran letters can be related to the alphabet anyhow. ~U
  20. Seriously, there's nothing going on. Well... technically there's two pages worth that I could say about BS01 deals/things, but I won't. I actually wanted to use the Matoran emoticons, but apparently you can only have like...10 or so Can't tell. I went down to 20 Matoran letters when I gave up because the message would be too short to be worth trying to decode Seriously... Eh, maybe I can sneak a message in BS01, : ... ~U P.S. - 1,000 brownies points to whoever can tell me what that says P.P.S. - It appears as though I'm following Exo's guide to emoticon usage
  21. Ok, so I was bored and decided to add some more names and talk a little more about..."stuffs" U-tope -- I think Elemental called me that. Don't ask why. I don't know why I get called these things, personally U-Man -- Pfft. Silly Reya. Funky names are for kids. No really, I seriously don't know why I have been called these. U-T -- Maybe this is because I'm commonly known as Ut sometimes... I dunno. I entirely forget who called me this, but I know someone did. I think the list could go own and own, but I'd rather not. Now, on to "stuffs". I was talking with Black Six some, and he showed me some interesting pictures. One picture had some of the staff that was at Brickfest. Now, I knew (visual wise) Rayg, Omi, Black, and Kai, but I didn't know the big guy with glasses and a beard, the guy who I had no idea, and another good-sized guy with glasses. And to my surprise: The guy who I thought looked 20 years older than I suspected, thanks to the glasses and beard was KIE. Man was I suprised. Then, the other guy with glasses was Smeag, to which I was not so surprised, if at all. The one that was sorta in the middle of this picture entirely surprised me. Rich. I call him Rich, you guys call him BR Perhaps the sunglasses and the fact that he was far away in his picture on the staff page is what surprised me. For some reason, I was expecting some sort of wicked goatee to go with those sunglasses, or something. It's terribly hard to explain. Email. I made a breakthrough in my email today. So here's the scoop on that: I have a personal email, and a BS01 forwarder to that email (utopia@biosector01.com). This email is my personal email, so I really don't like to send responding emails from it. One day, Swert emailed me something that I needed for BS01, and the email appeared to have come from swert@biosector01.com. I knew that this was just the forwarder, so how did that work out? Turns out, you can mask your real email account using Gmail. So what did I do? I asked a friend to give me an invite, and I got a gmail account. Now, if you send an email to utopia@biosector01.com, you will get a response from utopia@biosector01.com But, there is a slight hitch. That forwarder goes to my personal hotmail, and not to my gmail account. And what happens to the mail that goes to the gmail account, since I tend to log in to my hotmail more? Well, I guess I could get that forwarder changed. As for reading many emails from two different accounts, I used a special Gmail fuction: I told gmail to forward all of its email to my personal email. It's really neat. Now, except for making responses, my gmail account is basically a huge mask for my real and personal hotmail account And now, I must leave. Darn homework and parents... ~U
  22. That's ok HG56. I deleted that double comment (I guess that's what you would call them?) but it's fine anyway. Yes, Mrs. Utopia... speaking of names... I'm bored...and I think I'll make a new one. ~U

    Proof Of Progress!

    You mean the three new guys on the mainsite? Technically we have 4 new guys and an account given to a friend, who I'm sure no one can argue with that idea But you'll hopefully soon see. I guess the new guys will be revealed one way or another. Some already know, due to friends Swert decides to tell, and people he decided we can tell But publically, it's still a mystery. I thought and hoped Pekel would burst the bubble of news, but I don't know now. ~U
  24. Well, I suppose this won't be as happy to make as my either entry, that I deleted (by the way). BS01 was up, for about a total of 5 minutes. What does this show? It shows that Binky is finally on the case, and was testing the site. After many months of not being able to do anything, Binky comes in to rescue the village of BS01, and destroy the Evil Spike that haunts the land. So things are going good. Not great, and not fast, but still: We're making progress. So here's a toast to you Binky, for finally getting on the case. Cheers. ~U *clicks mug and gulps*

    And? Besides, you can't really measure activeness. I'm a high schooler, so it's normal for me to not be as active. As for most edits, realize that you've been on the wiki since October. Me? Mid February. ~U Interestingly, I am at high school too... What a pleasant surpise! ~ Bioran I'm a sophmore and have about 20 pages of complied homework. When I was your age, I had like, no homework compared to this Bah you Hong-Kong-ians. ~U
