Well everybody, they're finally here. The BBC Contest #40 Finals are here! There is one poll for each category left, and soon there will be the Grand Finale. Go vote, but remember these words of wisdom: What will thou vote? The name and fame of the MoCist, or the quality of the MoC? -Natha <I>Kobra<I>

New Staff Members! (RK's, in other words) ~U P.S. - Post in there if you haven't already, I'm closing this entry

I can't believe what said...Forum Keeper. Forum Assistant + Reference Keeper = Forum Keeper. Funny thing is that it's a much more appropriate title for a Forum Leader than it is a FA/RK combination.

Hi everybody! I completely forgot that I was writing an epic. I decided just now to post up Chapter 4 and realized 'Hey! I should put this in my blog that nobody notices!' Yeah, so Here is the story, and the review topic link is in it about five times. <I>Kobra<I>

So I got a PM from Shine, telling me that someone else took my word of "EDITSIES" and used it whenever they edited their post. Well in reply to that PM, I remembered seeing at least two or three different members also using that term. Now, when I went into the news discussion.. I saw a 4th! (or 5th, depending...) Man... now I wonder how many different members actually do use "EDITSIES". I mean I just created the term and always like saying it aloud... and apparently others do too It's now the best thing since sliced bread! ~U

So I finally entered BBC 40 a few days ago, almost right before the entry period ended, with an MOC I'm quite fond of: Jo! The Jo in question being Senjo, formerly (and irreversably) known as Jo_Shmo, the Puller of the Plugs and General of the Bananas of the BGC. In this instance she and her plug are representing the Platonic virtue of Temperance, or moderation and self-control. You can find her in Temperance Poll B... Currently she's coming in third in the poll, so I'd appreciate any and all votes for her! Also on the note of contests, Epics Contest 6 has begun over in Epics. This time it's the classic theme – all you have to do is to have written an epic. See the topic for more details, and do enter! It's also been snowing off and on for the past two days here – I'd guess we have between two and three inches now. And all still on top of the ice, as it's been consistently below freezing since the freezing rain on Monday. It's great! Everything is shining and glittering during the day... Now it finally feels like winter... I'll have a picture of Jo up in the Most Recent MOC block soon... But for the mean time, do vote for her, won't you? ~ToM

Welcome, I've decided to start a treasure hunt of sorts, if you are the winner you'll get a customized image and the ability to post an entry in my blog. Keep in mind- I won't make this easy on you. Rules- You will be allowed to share clues you find with others if you so choose. There will be no begging and or bribing(others or myself) for clues or hints, this will result in disqualification. There will always be a logical path too the next clue, in other words you needn't randomly scan my posts/entrys. Have fun. Places the clues will not be found- other member's blog entrys other member's content blocks other member's posts sites that aren't permitted to be discussed/linked any posts I may make in NMQ&A PMs This begins...now! First clue: WIP

My blog claims that I don't exist. ----------------------------------------------- In other news- There are new emotes.

Heh, didn't want to just go the boring route and state what post marker I had passed Anyways, tonight, I made my 2,000th post! I was very happy with this one, as it was a Facts List Update post (not to mention a legal double post, talk about irony). Now usually I don't care about posts, but when I came on today with 1,965 posts, and after making µµ's 10,000th post topic, I just felt the urge to reach 2,000 by tonight. And yes, I was able to do it. A long haul -- 35 posts, but I was able to do it. I set my mind to doing so, and reached it! Also, this little adventure of mine has expanded my horizons! Sure I'm still an S&T guy mainly, but if I ever feel bored, I am now also a Bionicle Incarnations man (now I usually stick to this group of forums, but S&T more specifically). So all in all, it was a good day. Top poster of the day, broke 2,000 (yes, not really that big for other folks, but heck, I didn't really care too much about post count, and didn't care about posts until mid-06), expanded my horizons to new forums. So it's all good really. Here's a virtual toast to... you, the posters! ~U *chugs*

So it has. A new year (yes, I'm a little late) deserves a new layout. And thus a layout I have made. The little comments for each block thingy should help you find you way around the Rift. Hopefully we won't have quite so many people falling in as we did last year... -Seran

For some reason, people feel compelled to be the starter of something big: something they can put their name on (not just here but in real life). In Completely Off Topic, I guess this big thing would fall on games and official topics because they need to be approved. Maybe people want to have their name on things like that, but the truth is: People aren't going to think about who started an official topic: that's not why those topics exist. Those topics exist to talk about certain (usually very popular) subjects; it doesn't matter who started a topic: the important thing is a topic exist. In the official topics I visit, I don't care who started them: I just care they exist for one centralized location of discussion for the various aspects of a subject. What am I saying? I'm saying if you think there should be a topic about something that can actually be discussed, and there is no living topic about it, make one for it. Topics don't have to be official to be discussed; if a Forum Leader feels a subject deserves it, s/he can officialize a topic. Maybe somewhere down the line if a subject is constantly brought up or discussion lasts long enough or dupes are often made, then a Forum Leader might be more open to the possibility of agreeing to let an official topic be made. Just because something is currently popular doesn't necessarily mean it will get an official topic: popular things can die down. (If you don't believe me, think about what was popular ten or twenty years ago... some of you may have to ask a parent about the latter one.) I am aware that official topics are immune to the revival rule, but just as easily as they were officialized, the topics can be closed and discussion indefinitely silenced (no names please). Or if a topic hasn't been touched in a very long time or is no longer valid, it can be de-officialized. (The second is more likely in Storyline & Theories, but it can apply to any forum.) Besides, if we only had official topics in each of the forums, there wouldn't be much room for things that don't fall into an official category. Remember, COT does not stand for "Completely Official Topics." ©1984-2007 Toaraga EAM

***Checketh out thy below entry if confusion hath taken over you*** The reason for this actually goes back to my very newb days. When I first signed in, actually... Now realize how I was at the time. I'm the kind of person to click "remember me", and at the time, I was not the poster at all. In fact, I hadn't posted for a while even though I had the chance to. Combine these two things, and from that will come my reason... Now first off, I noticed that there were things that notified that people were online, and people were offline. I, being the newb that I was, thought that being logged in meant being online. To log out would mean being offline. Later did I learn that if you don't do anything for 20 minutes you're considered offline, even if you're still logged in. Logging out always means/meant you're offline XD. Thus, I didn't want to appear online 24/7, so I clicked to sign in invisible. Also, as I wasn't a poster, I didn't see a reason to specifically let people know I was online. I just wanted to creep along the shadows and use BZP as a reference for me. Little did I know that this is where I would end up... So in part of a misconception, and in part to the fact that I signed up on BZP just to browse, not post... I logged in as invisible. Also, realize that my computer is my computer. I didn't log out once until I did so after becoming an OBZPC, just so I could log back in to see the nice bold orange . Now, I log in and out several times, as I'm a Fact Team member... so I have to, to get into the FT account. But it's just tradition for me now. I could log in as being seen by everyone... but I'm just a stick-to-this sort of guy in this case ~U P.S. - No... I don't log in as invisible just so I can sneak up on unsuspecting topics that have theories I'll disprove/questions I'll answer/topics I'll just make posts in What gave you that idea?

Ever wonder why I log in invisible? It's a pretty interesting story. I don't have time tonight to explain it, so first I'd just like to see who wondered XD ~U

The year of our Lord two thousand seven is upon us. Congratulations to all of us who made it through the previous year without slipping on banana peels or getting hit in the face with cream pies. This humble scribe (or reasonable facsimile thereof) returns from two weeks of carefree winter vacation and resumes the proverbial grind. School is once again front and center in his life outside these pages, with summer employment and the requisite driver's license and registration (car) currently the main causes of non-productive brain activity, exclusive of girlfriend E. New Year's resolutions made and, believe it or not, still being kept. Hedgehog Mountain also returns in a low-key way (viz. surrounding text). Look for a new mind-blowing member MOC in the next short while. Without mentioning any names, her initials are Tufi P. Ye kooks, I'm late for dinner. Diddle-de-dee and away. -BC

Yes, I know there's a slide, some swings, and a see-saw, but that forum has a point. Completely Off Topic does not mean completely off all topics: there has to be a point of discussion. Don't just make something up and hope discussion happens: that's the starter's responsibility. (Yes, topic starters have responsibility, though it's more implied.) Completely Off Topic is not a spamming display site: the name does not mean you can go off the topic that's being discussed. Stick to the topic's discussion at-hand: if you must deviate slightly in your post, please be sure to bring the discussion back to where it should be. What is Completely Off Topic? It means completely off BIONICLE discussion. From time to time, it's fine to bring up BIONICLE within the confines of a topic; after all, it is now unavoidable with BIONICLE permiating other forms of media. (For example, BIONICLE Heroes is on various systems, so mentioning it within the respective topics can be a given.) But it is necessary to go back to the original topic afterward. Brief summary sentence: Completely Off Topic is for non-BIONICLE topics, not spam. ©1984-2007 Toaraga EAM

I suppose a PBA should at least have a decent blog shouldn't one? Any suggestions?

P.S. And yes, that is the first emoticon I've used in a post since March 2004. I made mumu post with a smilie! My favorite of them all, no less. But bones is right... Oh poor mumu. May we one day find a cure for your sickness... ~U

As most of you guy may know, Poetryinmotion (Lee), as been promoted to the News Team as a BZP contributer. Now most of you guys don't know Lee, but I do. He is an awesome guy, so he deserves the promotion, and this blog entry. And he also builds awesome dragon mocs: Pic 1: Him with Loci, winner of the Best Bionicle MOC for Brickfest 04 Pic 2: ZERO with my moc Aurum. ZERO was second place in the Best Bionicle MOC for Brickfest 05 And he also won the Best Small Bionicle MOC for Brickfest 2006. He is very notorious for awesome MOCs. -Omi

Sometimes BZP forums annoy me. Like today: I'm on for 25 minutes and I encounter more than 90 board messages... oy. >< So, for the QUESTION OF THE HOUR: How has your BZP browsing been as of late? Bad? Good? Akwardly normal? *ahem* Ah... yeah, happy new year! Only 359 days until Christmas! *gets buried under pile of rotten tomatoes* ~Nikira

Rejoice! It's up, people. Just noticed this is my 100th entry as well. A suitable occasion to announce a contest as well as start off a new year of blogging.

Many of you know of one of my famous trademarkish styles, which is to edit my posts with "EDITSIES". Most people use "EDIT" or "Edit", but I add "SIES" to the end of my "EDIT" (pronounced 'seas', like the water kind ). Well where did I get EDITSIES from anyway? The answer can be found in the Lord of the Rings. Or at least the movies... I must admit, I'm not a great fan of the books (didn't like the set up and everything), but the movie was brilliant and my family as a whole loves the movies. And if anyone can recall The Fellowship of the Ring, where the hobbits are getting ready for second breakfast, and Aragorn tells them that they already eat breakfast. Then Pippen comes in with "What about elevencies? Luncheon? Afternoon tea? Dinner? Supper? He knows about them, doesn't he?" The first one was my inspiration for EDITSIES. Although I use an 's' instead of a 'c' (found the line from somewhere online), I took the word 'elevencies' and created 'EDITSIES' from it. So now, I just use it... ~U
