Devorath Posted October 23, 2011 Posted October 23, 2011 What do you think about Bionicle Story .com?What do you use it for? Quote
Erebus Posted October 23, 2011 Posted October 23, 2011 It was a nice idea, but it never really got updated. I don't use it at all because the info there is pretty much on other reference sites. Quote
Ghosthands Posted October 23, 2011 Posted October 23, 2011 I liked the videos there, that was one thing it had over things like BS01, but I don't really use it since Greg stopped updating the story serials with any kind of regularity. Quote

BioSector01 is better then the website this topic is about! Quote
fishers64 Posted October 23, 2011 Posted October 23, 2011 It kind of bombed ever since we left the Toa Terrain Crawler. Quote Hero Factory RPG | Bionicle Mafia XXIX: Storyline & Theories
Astrotorical Posted October 23, 2011 Posted October 23, 2011 (edited) Videos over not, it was good. but that is about it. Without updates, BS01 all i need. Edited October 24, 2011 by Astrotorical Quote axonn, trying to excape my signature

Meiko Posted October 24, 2011 Posted October 24, 2011 I never really use it, mostly because I haven't needed to. If I needed any info about the newest story, I'd ask my brother Aanchir, because he knows it all. I was never that deep into the BIONICLE story, so it never really struck me to check for new content. I would, however, check out a HEROFACTORYstory.com...

SolitaryHyena Posted October 24, 2011 Posted October 24, 2011 havnt really used it much yet, im going to start fresh with the story since I dont even know ALL the events the happened in the main storyline. Books will help with that. Quote "And where does the newborn go from here? The net is vast and infinite."
Rarity Posted October 24, 2011 Posted October 24, 2011 I only used it for the serials. Quote >Not reading the first greentext story on BZP >2013 Be a cool kid and vote for mighty morphin'
son of the shadows Posted October 25, 2011 Posted October 25, 2011 I just wait for the serials to be on BS01, so I rarely use bioniclestory at all XD Quote
Wrinkledlion X Posted October 25, 2011 Posted October 25, 2011 They should really load up a new Wall of History there with all the old Templar animations. Quote [bloog] [brickshelf] [This used to be my library but the link is broken]
Akuna Toa of Sonics Posted October 28, 2011 Posted October 28, 2011 Meh, I prefer BS01. Quote Does anyone want to play the Master Chief Collection with me? I'm trying to get a team going for ranked. PM for GT.
Lewa0111 Nuva Posted October 29, 2011 Posted October 29, 2011 Before BIONICLE was cancelled, it was a nice website, and I enjoyed checking it regularly for updates (and the Toa Terrain Crawler was an awesome idea, they really should have left that archived!)

Jzahck Posted October 29, 2011 Posted October 29, 2011 It had potential, but Lego was stupid (which is common nowadays) and they didn't update it. Quote
Dorek Posted October 29, 2011 Posted October 29, 2011 It was super cool in 2007, and the 2008 update was nice, but then it didn't change. I did appreciate the drive to market it toward the uninitiated in 2008, that helped. Quote BS01's Ambassador (Like us, Follow us)
Makuta Matata Posted October 29, 2011 Posted October 29, 2011 I just want it to be updated... Quote Three on Three - Memoirs of the Dead - Winner!!!
Artezza Magnus Posted October 30, 2011 Posted October 30, 2011 I just go there for the story serials now. Which have become very few and far between lately Quote Even when trapped by Karma's cycle, the dreams we left behind will open the door! Even if the universe stands in our way, our seething blood will determine what will be! We'll break through time and space, and defy all who would stop us to take hold of our path! ~
LaputanMachine Posted October 30, 2011 Posted October 30, 2011 I use it to read the story serials when they come out occasionally. The database is quite useless and small, we have BS01 for that. Quote For me, BIONICLE was an epic science fantasy saga with a deep and complex lore, and was best when it was exactly that in its later years. I'm not sorry if that offended you.
Scanty Demon Posted October 30, 2011 Posted October 30, 2011 It was good back when the serials were updated on a regularly. After that I checked for updates, which were becoming less and less common, and eventually gave up. Now I just wait for the new chapter of one of the serials to appear on BS01 to read them.On a side note, I think BS01 was a more indept source on the Bionicle world than Bioniclestory.com. Quote
Toa TAK Posted October 30, 2011 Posted October 30, 2011 I really liked it in 2007 the most. It was so atmospheric, with the background music and the way the site felt unique to the current story being told with the Barraki and Toa Mahri. I wish the current site felt like that, too.

dotcom Posted November 1, 2011 Posted November 1, 2011 After 2007 I never really visited this site, ever. I always read the serials/podcasts in BS01. It was much simpler that way, really. Quote
Phyoohrii Posted November 5, 2011 Posted November 5, 2011 I don't mind the site, I always liked going there to read the serials than on BS01 or whatever. However I did like how BS01 did transcripts of the podcasts so I could read along the first time round. But yeah, I like how Greg did the serials on there, probably my favourite parts of the story were in those. I just wish they continued to be updated (marendarmarendarmarendarmarendar...) Quote crickety man.....good nigh t lonk
Mare Tranquillitatis Posted November 5, 2011 Posted November 5, 2011 Never used it so much. Now by now I'm using it to check serials, but this happens very rarely. As for database, I use BS01. Quote
Toa Zaz Posted November 8, 2011 Posted November 8, 2011 I read it when the serials got updated (yes, I now officially believe the web serials are DONE). Quote Thank you, BZPower staff. In the past, I wish I showed more appreciation for all that you do. From one Bionicle fan to another, thank you.
Just A Dot Posted November 8, 2011 Posted November 8, 2011 Should the old animations and maybe games be added to the site?Yes. Quote
Peach 00 Posted November 21, 2011 Posted November 21, 2011 It was a nice idea, but it never really got updated. I don't use it at all because the info there is pretty much on other reference sites.Basically this. BS01 usually covers most of the info I look for. And I agree with Makuta_Of_Oz, the old animations and games should be added so you can still have access to them. But honestly? I never really visited the site often, only every once and awhile. Quote On the day the wall came down / They threw the locks onto the ground And with glasses high / We raised a cry / For freedom had arrived On the day the wall came down / The ship of fools had finally run aground Promises lit up the night / Like paper doves in flight I dreamed you had left my side / No warmth, not even pride remained And even though you needed me / It was clear that I could not do a thing for you Now life devalues day by day / As friends and neighbors turn away And there's a change that even with regret / Cannot be undone Now frontiers shift like desert sands / While nations wash their bloodied hands Of loyalty, of history / In shades of grey I woke to the sound of drums / The music played, the morning sun streamed in I turned and I looked at you / And all but the bitter residues slipped away slipped away...
fishers64 Posted November 22, 2011 Posted November 22, 2011 Should the old animations and maybe games be added to the site?That would be a major improvement, but I doubt Lego is going to make that investment in time and creative expertise now. They should have a website that contains ALL the old content, including the books and DVD movies for streaming to organize the scattered mess of Bionicle content that is spread across multiple websites, books, DVDs, and a whole host of other content, but I have little optimism in that regard. Quote Hero Factory RPG | Bionicle Mafia XXIX: Storyline & Theories
FrozenFlash Posted November 23, 2011 Posted November 23, 2011 I usually go on bioniclestory.com to read some of those stories. Quote
Fractual Forever Posted November 25, 2011 Posted November 25, 2011 Rarely do, rarely will. I agree with most, if not all, people here. 2007 was awesome, what with the Toa Terrain Crawler and whatnot. Now... BS01 works perfectly fine, thank you very much. Quote

P962 Posted November 25, 2011 Posted November 25, 2011 I've only ever visited BionicleStory to catch up on the serials, but since ol' Greg is on hiatus, I've been busy with other things.

25K Now! Posted December 12, 2011 Posted December 12, 2011 I don't really use it much either. I used to download some of the podcasts, but I spent more time on BS01 reading them instead. Quote http://vimeo.com/198967785 BZPRPG Profiles
Raph Posted December 12, 2011 Posted December 12, 2011 I like that site/ too bad it's not updated lately.........I used it to listen podcasts and read web serials.........now i'm usually here and waiting for BS01 to update.

The G-Man Posted January 1, 2012 Posted January 1, 2012 IT HAS NOT BEEN UPDATED FOR MORE THAN SIX MONTHS!!!! GREG'S DEAD!!! http://www.bzpower.com/board/public/style_emoticons/default/confusedw.gif Not really, but what the heck has he been doing? Is it so hard to write a serial while doing a Lego comic once a month? Quote 92% of teens have moved on to Xbox 360. 7.9% still use other game systems (PS3 and Wii). If you are part of the 0.1% who still use the only real game system (PC), copy and paste this into your sig.
GSR Posted January 1, 2012 Posted January 1, 2012 As stated in the topic about Greg, there's a couple reasons:[*]He's working fulltime on other projects for Lego such as Ninjago.[*]He's dealing with getting a family going (I believe he and his wife just had a baby recently).[*]BZP's downtime greatly damaged the readerbase for such updates.[*]New LEGO policies mean he can't interact with BZP anymore, damaging fan interaction with him....All of which add up to no updates. It's regrettable, but it's the way it is. Quote Hey: I'm not very active around BZP right now. However, you can always contact me through PM (I have email notifications set up) and I will reply as soon as I can.
