Merry Christmas, BZP. I hope you all have a safe and happy holiday.

Or at least what's left of it. Yes, I am talking about topic revival. I mean, even Omi knows it's evil. It has to be a direct spawn of the devil. You kill it, and it just keeps coming back. However, we can fight topic revival. Oh yes. JUST DON'T REVIVE TOPICS! Here, I've even composed a list of topic revival periods in every forum. Well, I did this months and months ago, but it's still accurate. Please, help me out here. I still have a contest to assist in, I can't be dying on you guys now. Q&A- generally none Contest Voting forum - none BZP Library- generally none BS01- generally none Blogs - none Sets- 20 Collectibles- 20 BBC- 20 Artwork I- 20 Artwork II- 20 Artwork III- 20 G&T- 20 B/S/T- 20 Marketplace Banter- 20 BZP Voting Booth- 20 News Discussion/Talkback- 30 RPG- 30 LGD- 30 COT- 30 S&T- 30 Promotions- 30 Software- 30 M&B- 30 GD- 30

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

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

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

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

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

I was going to write this on a Wii, but after trying to send a PM that didn't even go through, I decided not to. Just using the Wii to surf the Internet is going to be a pain unless the USB keyboard is somehow integrated. First off, it's hard to type when I have to move my "mouse" to each individual letter; yes, I know some suggested words come up, but if what I'm typing is short or not even listed, those suggestions are pointless. Second, I don't want to waste batteries while trying to get to each letter either. (Way to make something mundane even worse!) I know it's a Beta version, but if it's a hint of things to come, surfing the Wiib is just not going to be that much fun. Well, I guess we'll find out how things go when the final version is released in March. Right now, all it's good for is doing simple tasks... BZP-related things is just not one of them for me. For now, I'm sticking to my computer for most things; although, I do have some ideas for the Wii and its browser. ©1984-2006 Toaraga EAM

I wholeheartedly endorse this poll.

Also, things that Kohaku got(Some I got with money I got): The Legend of Zelda: Twilight Princess DS Lite Bionicle Sets (Full list coming soon) Classic Controller (Wii) Wireless Router And I have one more Zelda thing that will make many of you jealous, but that'll wait... Also, I had Christmas on the 23rd, so I was happy. Kohaku

As the topic suggests, I have created a Topic Archive content block. This block links to all my relevant topics, which include MOCs, artwork, and stories but omit any answered questions or disproven theories (including my far-too-hopeful Aquaraiders theory from a while back). If anyone remembers any topics I have neglected to include, post it here. Remember, you are my last hope that the creative abilities of Aanchir: Rachira of Time can be shown to the general public. With all due respect, Aanchir: Rachira of Time

So, over the course of the past few contests, there have been some complaints that it's difficult for new RPGs to break into the top few that keep getting into the finals poll for the past few contests. I, personally, don't see an issue in the fairness of the contest, but I'm all for making as many people happy as possible. So, here's my idea, as it stands: RPG Contest Pro/Amateur System The system divides the entrants into two categories which separates them during the initial stages of voting. To be in the 'Pro' category, the RPG entry must have been in the final poll of at least one of the last two RPG Contests. If an entry won any RPG contest, it also qualifies for the 'Pro' category. This is completely optional, if a member does not want their entry in this category, that's fine. All other entries will fall into the 'Amateur' category. The two sections of voting will go on simultaneously. In all likelihood, there will be very few entries in the 'Pro' section, meaning fewer rounds of voting. Once both have narrowed down the entries, the top five from each will go into the final poll to decide on the overall winners. And that's it. Please note the 'Pro' and 'Amateur' names are temporary, the best I could think of at the time. In fact, everything is still in flux, and I am open to any suggestions for improving it. Do people even want to see such changes implemented, or are they fine with the current system? I want to hear from you guys! PS - GO VOTE in RPG Contest #4!

Hey, guys--this is a quick callout to any of my fellow "S&T geeks" for the Storyline FAQ Topic. As you guys probably know, I haven't been able to pay much attention to BZP this fall due to tons of college homework. Well, the FAQ's topic's last additions (aside from one I just made, which reminded me ) were from early 2006, so there's probably a lot of frequently asked questions that could be added for later 2006 and the leadup to 2007. That topic works by linking to S&T topics where someone's asked the common question, it's been answered well, and usually the topic was closed because the answer was provided. Being out of it, I obviously haven't any idea which topics those are. So, anybody got some suggestions? Anything you guys have answered, have seen answered, have in your tracked topics list, or if you're staff there, have closed? You can comment suggestion links here or post them in the FAQ topic itself.

I know I have done this before, but I am doing it again, cuz I can. BZP has a wonderful community, but it wouldn't be the way without you guys. So this is for you all. -Omi

Okay, so most of us by now know that clicking the above button allows us to quote more than one person within a single topic without having to copy and paste (total time saver). But how many people know that you can use this feature to carry over posts to another topic? Though the use of this feature can be somewhat limited in necessity, it is useful nonetheless. ©1984-2006 Toaraga EAM

Why, none other than µµ. I am not sure if BZP will show that, but µ is the Greek letter mu. Put two together and what do you get? mumu! And yes, mumu has now been blogged, with his blog: The Precious Milk So let's all walk on over and check out our favorite Chinchilla's blog, shall we? ~U

You know, as I sit here, waiting for various things to fall into their places, I take a look around at BZP -- at all the good and joy that circulates around. And of course this is thanks to the hard work and dedication of the staff, but there are also another group of folks who work hard and love BZP. Namely, the good folks like you all (you know who you are XD). And here on BZP, there's this system thing of proto, PE, what-have-you, etc. and once someone reaches a full bar, they became an OBZPC, which basically recognizes that that person is a good BZP citizen and is very helpful (now there may be a few who try to cheat the system, but let's put those aside for this'n). But of course, is every helpful person an OBZPC? Heck no. Otherwise that slim minority would be a bit bigger now So why am I writing this? Well I hope he won't mind if I use Toa Lhikan Hordika, my good buddy here on BZP, as an example here. Now, as you see a few entries down, I became an OBZPC, under a year no less... However, I now recall a time when I was talking to TLH, and he said that he was trying to become an OBZPC under two years, that it was like his mini-dream. Not a goal, because he's not trying to get it, but something that he hope just happens under two years. Unfortunately, the days dragged on and he still is one PE away from OBZPC. But does he deserve it less than I? Heck no! If anything, he and many others like him deserve it more than I do. He's been here for over two years, and has had around 3000 or so posts of helpfulness. I'm not even a year here, and somewhere around 1700 posts now? Anyway, the point of this entry is, is to give my toasts to those who ought to have such a gracious title, but for whatever reason, don't have it yet. However, that doesn't mean you don't deserve it or didn't earn it any less *Cheers * ~U

It took a while to figure out, but I finally found a way to give my readers on BZPower access to a sample of Endless Night, the song featured in my SSC3 entry. Copy and paste the following URL into your address bar and it should open it up in Windows Media Player or a similar program. Sorry I can't provide a direct link, but the brackets in the URL prohibit me from doing that. I can't link to the source either, because it has forums. http://lebom.com/audio/The%20Lion%20King%20[Original%20Broadway%20Cast]/Ensemble_Endless_Night.mp3 The song is from the Broadway stage production of The Lion King, and is not featured on any CDs (to my knowledge) except for two: The original broadway cast recording and a CD you can buy at the play that contains just five songs. I have the five-song version. If this song influences your enjoyment of my songfic, post comments there. General comments about the song go in this entry. Share and enjoy! -
