Anyone Feel Like Reviewing With Good Christmas Spirit?
Xinlo posted a blog entry in Language Of The Mad
Yes, I know that was a horrible way to abuse the holiday season. Oh well. Anyone feel like they could drop me a review here? IMO it's one of my best MOCs, and the BBC has been horridly slow since the forums returned... so yeah. I don't usually promote my stuff through such... manipulative means, but I really like this one lol -
This was like my third post here way back when I was 10. It makes me cringe with disgust every time I read it. I've yet to see anyone with a worse noob-post.

Well, I managed to miss it again, but December 16th was my 7th BZP anniversary. Next year I'll be an official AFOL and an octave member of this site.

please don't go to my head please don't go to my head please don't go to my head Wow, it's hard to describe quite how much this means to me. Looking back on my time as BZPower, I've probably earned a reputation as "least likely to achieve any significant status," and I guess I was okay with that for my first few years. I looked up to the staff with awe and occasional abject terror. A lot of stuff happened that first year, including assorted warnings for sig size violations, profile pic size violations, word filter violations and unintentionally annoying the moderators. Oh, and a really lousy comedy, but who doesn't have that on their record? I was so paranoid I swear I could see my proto level being dropped as I watched. I stayed awake some nights in fear that I might push it over the edge and get banned. It's a little absurd now, but at the time BZPower was simply what I did: chatting with other members, posting my creations in the BBC forum and subsequently entering contests, and generally enjoying the fact that I had a community where I actually fit in. In other words I enjoyed myself, had an overly healthy respect for the mods, and life was great, even though I never ever thought I would do anything significant. Any following I had in the BBC, Artwork I, or Library was 99% my own ego. I became a premier member a little over a year after I joined, began writing in dark green, and generally cleaned up my grammar with the exception of a few nuances I hope none of you remember. Another year or two full of lame blog posts passed and I began to get depressed about my position on the site. Any following, real or imagined, had dwindled considerably and anyone who could still remember my name had either kept in contact off-site or had known me as the guy with that stupid comedy and vowed to never speak to me again. (This may be an exaggeration, but who knows?) I began to see people I had known or matured with on the site promoted, given commendations, proto-boosts and OBZPC-dom. I started to phase in and out of the forums, vowing to quit forever for months at a time before coming back in case someone had tried to contact me. Then I went to BrickCon '09, where I learned that not only are the staff normal, friendly people scary and intimidating, but that people don't actually brag about their proto bar and status, and they don't have their title floating above their heads to remind you who they are. (They have brick badges to do that for them. ) I came back with a renewed sense of hope, began updating my blog, and got tangled up in the macadamia nut and Creed fads. Velox got promoted and my first thought besides congratulations was that I remember when he was still The Lost Toa. I remembered recommending Nathan to hire him, and we all saw the shop through to its depressingly anticlimactic end. That was sorta my fault but it's not important. This is all really depressing. Let's focus on something positive through my almost-five year stay here. I participated in the BBCCs, posted awful stories and comedies and even more awful drawings. Through the help of many, many members I improved in each area drastically and became far more mature, though it's an arguable claim to some. Oh yeah, then there was BrickCon 2011. Way too much happened there to describe (and some of it I can't describe, BZPower rules being what they are) so I'm not going to. The main thing was that I got to hang out with all my friends again, hit EW in the face with a Nerf sword (ask him about it sometime) and the biggest highlight IMHO was that I finally met Velox in person. I had tried to get him to come to conventions in the past and I managed to get him here with the promise that I would stop quitting BZPower forever. So here I am. I'm all but certain he was somehow involved in promoting me, thus guaranteeing my omnipotent presence on the site. No, that probably wasn't the reason, but it worked out suspiciously well. : / Anyways, that was a long, convoluted post to express a very simple point: I never thought this would happen. And it did.

I mean, WOW. I was not expecting that at all. SOOO AWESOME Yeah, sorry for being vague, but I don't know if I'm allowed to tell anyone yet, or if it'd seem pretentious if I did. I'm hoping it wasn't by accident...

So, was anyone else surprised by the recent somewhat long forum crash? I certainly was, and coming so soon after the Time Slip II (Electric Boogaloo? ), I confess I was a bit disappointed. I thought the point of the new forum software was to make sure stuff like this happens less often...What did you think of the crash happening again? Lewa0111 Nuva

What do you think will happen? Will Bionicle have its own forums again? Server meltdowns? Revival of the dreaded official topics? Fun times?

So I'm going to work on a new banner tomorrow-ish. Unfortunately, I am unable to really choose between the images I chose to function as the banner's background. Suggestions as to which U.S.S. Twilight Sparkle image I should use? or

So, what is your opinion? Do you think that during the Downtime a lot of members turned to the "worship" of memes? In my opinion, yes. I see A LOT more ponys on signatures EDIT: Hot Topic! Great! :onfire: :onfire:

Ranks. They're the reason why we feverishly increase our post count. Some of us have higher ranks than others and some members have ranks so high they would blow most members minds! What I'm asking is what is the highest rank you ever saw here on Bzpower? I think the highest rank I ever saw was on the old forums and I believe it showed a picture of Karda Nui from the 08 storyline. The member in question was a staff member I think and had racked up over 18,000 posts.

Chronicle 2: I'm Back (Plus An Announcement About My Comedies)!
V.M.Torious 4.0 posted a blog entry in blogs_blog_791
Hello BZPower Universe! It's been a while since I've posted anything at BZP, especially in the Comedies section in 2009. Well, here's a better intro for this... FINALLY... VM HAS COME BACK... TO BZPOWER!!! ...enough said. If you're wondering why I've changed my username from Vakama Montana0111 to V.M.Torious 4.0, then here's why. As I discovered the new forums, I wanted a brand-new, fresh look to my username and character from the previous forum and Bionicle is over. So, I decided to find something that sounds cool and Hero Factory-like. The first step was to take the first two letters of my screen name (the letters "V" and "M") and shorten it to make an initial (don't worry guys, "V.M." still stands for my former username, "Vakama Montana"). Next, it's time to find a word, or should I say, a word pun. As I was going through the Hero Factory Wiki, something came into mind, and the word "Victorious" came into my head, out of nowhere. So I merged "VM" and "Victorious" together like Lego bricks, and this became "V.M.Torious". Finally, I needed a version number. Since this is the fourth time using the Vakama Montana username, I opted for version 4.0. And that's how "V.M.Torious 4.0" was born. Oh, and you wanna know why I was gone for so long? Okay, here's the lowdown: I know that ever since I joined BZPower in 2007, a lot of things had changed, especially between 2009 & 2010, when Lego replaced Bionicle with Hero Factory. I have been mostly inactive during that time period, with the exception of posting in some of the BZP topics regarding about current events going on in the Lego Universe (I'm talking about Lego news and stuff, not the MMORPG game of the same name that's about to go offline in February 2012). And there's the "BZP Forum Shutdown Crisis of 2011", when BZP's forums went offline for sometime between Spring and Fall 2011. I was planning to make a comeback in the Comedies forum at that time, but I lost interest during that time period. So here I am, a month after the forums re-opened on BZP. As soon as I heard that the forums are going to re-open, I've began planning my comeback to the Comedies section, but for me, it took about a month for me to decide whether to bring back some of my classic comedies, or start all over again from scratch just like back in 2007. And this is where my huge announcement begins: I am bringing back some of my hit comedies to the new BZP forums! But, I need your help, guys, and this is the fun part! Here are the comedies that you will be voting on: 1. Inika Palace Hotel (season 1, a.k.a. the first 26 chapters) 2. Club Nuva 3. Bionicles on Lego Island 4. The Many Farces of Toa Tuyet (a spoof of "The Many Deaths of Toa Tuyet" by Greg Farshtey; this is going to be a remake) However, there is one exception. I will not be bringing back non-Bionicle parody comedies (for example, Nokama Montana, if any of you guys remember) because they have been either deleted from my old computer when I got a new one during this summer, or been removed from the BZP forums when they crashed in 2009. So vote for your favorite Vakama Montana comedy by mentioning only one of the four comedies listed above, but feel free to add your opinion on why you want that comedy to be brought back to the new Comedies forum. The comedy with the most votes by December 31, 2011 will be brought back in a re-mastered format (yes, that means cleaning up the script so that it looks nicer for the new forum) on January 2012! And here's another announcement... if the comedy that you voted gets enough replies on the new forum, then I will be writing new chapters of that comedy starting in Spring 2012! Good luck folks! And if you can't remember any of the comedies listed above, then here's a link to my old comedy library from the previous forum below: http://www.bzpower.c...howtopic=257718 Since it's in an archived state, please do not make new comments on the comedy libray. Have fun and enjoy the memories! ~ VM4.0 -

It keeps coming back. =[ First I had it right after BFair itself, and then it subsided for a little while, but then I had BrickCon which brought on 'Con Withdrawal and brought back 'Fair Withdrawal. And now whenever I see BrickFair or 'Con mentioned anywhere it makes me sad. I miss you guys! We'll just have to make next year extra awesome. But it's still 9 months away... =/

I'd say I like it a little less than the old BZPower at this point, simply because it's so radically different. I'll get used to it over time. You guys? -ibrow

Started watching MLP:fim last week, and so far I've watched seven & 1/2 episodes. Fluttershy is my favorite pony, she's so cute :3

THE EPIC UP TO CHAPTER THIRTY TWO MAY BE FOUND AT THIS LINK. THIS TOPIC WILL BE USED FOR NEW CHAPTERS. The BZPower StoryAn Original Epic By Snoopy82This epic does not represent the views of the staff that the author holds. The Staff work very hard to keep this website running and should be respected. This work is completely fictional. All portrayals of members are fictional and are in no way a portrayal of them in real life. --- Prologue.Often an entire city has suffered because of an evil man.--Hesiod, Greek didactic poet (~800 BC) --- This was the end. Ninjo was about to die.Just three years earlier he had stood on the beach, sword in hand, training at the side of Dimensioneer. They had been friends, sworn to protect. Now they were enemies, sworn to kill.Ninjo lay on the ground outside of BZ-Metru, sword just out of reach. His legs were broken, his arms bloodied and bruised, and head swimming. Dimensioneer stood over him. His blade was at Ninjo's neck, poised to run through."First you deceive the other admins, then you try and pollute the minds of the moderators with that fiend Hapori Dume. And now, now you try to destroy the site altogether with that "KimPower" nonsense. You're truly a madman."Dimensioneer smiled. "It is all part of a bigger plan, my friend.""Don't call me a friend.""Very well, Ninjo. You know you can't win. Join me, and you will have fame. Fortune. Glory. Anything you could ever desire.""What I desire is the exact opposite of what you want.""So you will not side with me?""Never.""Then you must die, so you cannot reveal my plans."Dimensioneer started to push the sword toward Ninjo's neck. Then, he stopped. A thoughtful look appeared on his face, and he withdrew his sword."I have a better idea... much better indeed."He dropped his sword."I, Dimensioneer, as the founder and Forum Administrator of BZ-Metru, restrict this member known as Ninjo from entering the forums for 5 years."Ninjo gasped."After which he will be allowed to return and will aid me in my conquest."Ninjo's face conveyed nothing but fear. "You can't do that! There's no way you can make me help you!"Dimensioneer smiled again, this time with a cruel twist. "There is one way... a virus."He took a pill containing a virus from his belt and before Ninjo could react, Dimensioneer shoved it down his throat. Ninjo started to twist and turn, as the virus slowly started to infect his mind. Soon, the virus would be in full control of his body, and Ninjo would be helpless against it."I'll leave you now, Ninjo, to writhe in the pain accompanying the virus. I'll see you again in five years... when you will help me achieve ultimate power."He started to walk away, but turned to say one last thing."Good bye... friend."

Yeah, I was just reading the help section of the site, and came across the information about the gallery. Because I was just checking the Help page for no reason really, I decided to check the gallery―but it's not there. I looked just about everywhere on the site, but haven't found even a trace of the gallery. Is that feature not compatible with the new forum software, or is it still something that's being worked on? Thanks.

Hello people! Many of you might not remember me, but I made comics here a while back. In fact, several people made comics that crossed paths at least once or twice! A universe was created, one that housed pop-culture and Bionicle. Whether or not your comics resided in The Comic Land, or were a part of a differentdimension entirely, you were still a part of this universe. This post is to link anyone whom has not heard of the BZPOWER COMICS WIKI, or may have lost the link. If your comics have a great deal of popularity or provide interesting material, please create your own wiki page and expand upon the universe that has already been created!* Without further ado, I present the link to one of the greatest fan-made wiki pages ever created! *Note- I am not the creator of the wiki itself, but am merely advertising it.

GASP, I'm back! What a surprise. For those of you who don't know me (and I don't blame you, it's been almost a year), I'm Lewa0111. I've been a fan of BIONICLE since the beginning, though I dropped off the radar somewhere around the Bohrok-Kal and only started back up in '06, and followed the story faithfully from then on until its untimely demise last year. Now that the forums have been completely made anew, I've decided to start re-writing my earlier comedies, starting with The Nuva Inn, since in all honestly the first chapters of those comedies were a bit embarrassing even for me to reread. Eventually I'll get around to reposting all of my other comedies as well so that I can continue them, in no real order (unless there are any particularly popular requests). The redone first chapter of TNI is up today, and I'll be trying to post at least one rewritten chapter per day, possibly more depending on my schedule. And this time I mean it! ...No, seriously!

Took me a while to come up with a title I liked. Not totally sure how long this one will last. It's from a poem I wrote; not sure if I ever posted it on BZPower. I should check sometime soon. Anyway, so the big news for me is that I am now staff on HEROsector01. I'm very honored to have this position; I hope my work on the site from here on out meets expectations. Other big news is that a bunch of non-preliminary images of 2012 LEGO sets have started appearing. Sweet. I can't find any sites that have them all in one place, besides the site where they originally appeared (which seems to be down due to traffic overflow). BZPower is still a bit confusing for me, having been gone so long. But so far, I'm enjoying it here. The site seems a lot more receptive to other LEGO themes, particularly Hero Factory, than it used to be. Of course, it could change as more people flock back to the forums. Only time will tell.

Yay, we're back! I found it funny when the archive came up that the most recent reply to a topic was in the CoT lol. Anyhow, it's good to be back. I was starting to drift away fro a bit, and although I haven't got a MOC to show off just yet (sorry everyone ), There's this spiffy bit of artwork I posted, please let me know what you think! spiffeh artwork is here Thanks!

Wow.. Already got one of those?
