Sadly, after doing a search it appears that the old archived forum was deleted for some reason (if you don't remember, BZPower was offline for a really long time following Bionicle's cancellation, though probably unrelated to that, and when it came back it was this new forum with a read-only backup of the old one available). Thankfully, you can still access the old forum using the Internet Archive's Wayback Machine, but it'll probably be difficult to find specific posts.

Hi, everyone! Not sure how active I'll be, but it's awfully nostalgic to be back here, if a little bittersweet with how much less active it is than in Bionicle's heyday. I started getting back into Bionicle a couple years ago, and have been re-experiencing the story with my mom (currently reading the novels and are towards the end of the 2008 arc), and we both are really loving it. It's surprising how well the story holds up as an adult. I used to be pretty active here starting in probably 2006 up until BZPower's extended shutdown in... 2010 I believe it was? Unfortunately, by the time it came back I had kinda moved on, for better or worse. I largely lurked around General Discussion, and had delusions of grandeur that I could be one of the cool people making comics, animations, software and games. 😛 Unfortunately, my (likely) ADHD kept me from sticking with any of those projects long enough to finish them, so I'm not completely sure how many people would have seen any of my creations. As someone who has been a piece of work in the past, and continues to have various problems to this day, I just want to say don't worry too much about it. Forgive your past self and strive to be the best person you can be. This is, of course, easier said than done, though. 😅 That being said, I, too, would like to apologize to anyone here I may have been unduly rude to in the past.

If I'm being honest, I kinda like the solution they went with for the masks. It doesn't look as bad to me as the Marvel sets, but that might be due to these representing the face of biomechanical robots rather than human beings. Really, though, I think it hits my nostalgia just right, and Takua is just so cute I can't complain. 😛

First off, really glad that this topic is back up. The last we heard from RQ was that he was working on a secret plan of sorts to allow the game to be made legally available to download. No word yet on how this has progressed during the forum downtime, of course.Aside from asking Lego - who, as the copyright holder, is the only entity who can legally distribute LoMN - for permission, I'm not sure what RedQuark could do.Well, RQ has understandably not revealed details of his plan yet, so there's no real way to judge whether it will work short of waiting for further word from him. As for the programming stuff, members such as JMMB, DJ Reidak, and alpha123 seem convinced that they'll be able to pull this off given enough time. I don't know much about that kind of thing, so I'll leave it up to them to respond if they wish... Second off, I want to make it clear that I have faith that other people here will be able to fix this game if we are able to get it. I can make some decent programs in Microsoft Visual Studio (VB.NET), but what other people can do here is way over my head. DJ Reidak

Count me in. DJ Reidak

There are some people who have the "full" game. At least, as complete as it was when it was canceled. And it isn't impossible to get past the first level, it is just harder than it should be, as I understand it. People with the game disk have been able to get past the first level. DJ Reidak

I would be glad to help. What exactly is the problem with your computer? DJ Reidak

I am a programmer, so it just took me a little bit to figure out what this said. Very cool reward. DJ Reidak

Wow. that is almost creepy. Something funny, the night before the animation with mata nui's form looking up and his eyes turning red, I dreamed up (day dream) the exact same animation only with the eyes turning green instead of red. I even dreamed up the part with the ignika shooting out from him -almost as if they stole my idea- DJ Reidak

What do you mean by "Long after the web sites are dust"? DJ Reidak

The MP3 is completed, it is just that it is going to be released October 1st. Awesome song! I have memorized the whole thing! I can't wait until the MP3 comes out (only the video -I think- was leaked). DJ Reidak

Um, bink, the game is up now so I think you can edit your post to say that it is up. Also: the game is AWSOME, but there is at least one bug in it... I think. Edit: The "best games" things don't load and they force you to re-load the game if you try to load them. DJ Reidak

Those old games get kinda boring after playing the for a few months. I hope the game will be up soon. at the moment, I am just happy with the demo on Cartoon Network! DJ Reidak

Because we haven't decided if somebody gets it "exclusively" first (like Cartoon Network, Jetix, or some other partner)... Just give it to Cartoon Network! They already have a small minisite with part of the new game on it!!!! I mean, you are about a month late with releasing the song, and two with the game! No. July 1. And because of bugs, bugs, and more bugs, it hasn't been released yet. I wouldn't be surprised if someone at lego got so annoyed they just took a fly swatter to their computer! DJ Reidak

He already said that all the levels would be uploaded at once. Great news, Bink! I can't WAIT for the new BIONICLE game! I also can't wait for 2009 and such! Trust me, the night before September 1st will be one where I won't be able to get to sleep. =P I hope you can get another job at Lego. I also hope that the website will stay as good as it is now (or get better) when the original admin takes back control. DJ Reidak

ouch... that stinks. Hopefully YOUR computer wont take as long as my computer did (My computer was messed up, and was at the shop for 2/3 of the summer). Even though I like PC computers more than mac (for a while I was trying to boycott it, though since my school has only 1 PC, that was impossible) I still feel sorry for you. Trust me, I know what it is like having a messed-up computer. Hope it gets fixed soon! DJ Reidak

Nice add to the poster thing. Also: it has been 3 weeks and 2 days since BIONICLE.com updated, and the mistika game STILL isn't up. What is taking the game so long? DJ Reidak

Good update! it looks awesome! DJ Reidak
