How did you find/hear of BZP?

[Underscore]

I found the BZP through googling in 2010 and Biosector01 a couple years ago when they came out with the Red Star interview, and at that point I made an account that got wiped.

I found BZP back in 2006. I read a comment on Bionicle.com that there were pictures of Vezon and Fenrakk, characters I hadn't heard of at the time, on here, so I checked it out. The rest is history.

[FrozenFlash]

I found this site by clicking the "Random Page" button on BS01. I got a bit curious and did some research on it. You can pretty much guess what happened soon after.

[Sumiki]

Someone mentioned it on the LMB.

[Gatanui]

Found it on the buzz section on BIONICLE.com in 2004 but didn't actually join until one year later, I'm guessing because I didn't understand enough of what people said as I'm not a native English speaker and I had basically started learning English at the time. BZPower has been a fantastic platform for that.

I was googling "bionicle music" in 2002 for some reason (probably to find copies of the MNOLG music). Naturally, I found nothing, but I did stumble upon both Kanohi Power and BZCommunity. I continued lurking on those forums until the merger.

[Noxryn]

A friend's older brother showed me in 2001/2ish, I think it was BZCommunity at the time? Since I was so young and didn't understand message boards, and wasn't allowed to join things online back then, I just lurked.

[Toa Kayn]

In 04 or 05 I read a ton of comics where the Matoran were obsessed with the drink sprite on google images and in turn that lead me to BZPower but I didn't think about joining until years later.

[Click]

Googling random Bionicle stuff a few years ago and I came across it. I read through the news stories for a few months before even realizing there was a forum. Still continued to just read for a while until my parents caved and let me get an account.

[Pohatu: Uniter of Stone]

Found out probably back in 2008-9, but didn't join for a long time, mostly because my mom was /is super duper cautious about sites and such.

 

Edit: Does anyone remember the years that Gerlicky's That's Messed Up and CyberKN's Mask of Humor ran, because I actually found old pictures of them saved to my computer.

[-{Lion Heart}-]

I think I found it while searching for something Bionicle-related on the ol' Google search. It was either 2003 or 2004, and in December 2004 I made my account.

Bonus: My first username was Toa Lhikan of Fire (I think) which was soon changed to Darthe Vader - Dark Lord of the Sith (don't ask me about the typo), then back to Lhikan possibly, first time using Lionheart, then some LH alternatives, then Hawkeye during a Marvel craze on the forums where tons of members were changing their avatars and usernames to Marvel characters, and finally back to Lion Heart, this time for good. 

[Hitoshura]

I probably found out about it in maybe 2011, while googling some Bionicle stuff, but I didn't feel like joining until early 2013.

[Narglepuff the Protector]

Somehow I had ended up on the Custom Bionicle Wiki back in March of 2008. It was there that I found Toatapio Nuva's Comics: The Movie. Sure, it was just a Windows Movie Maker/MSPaint video, but I really appreciated the fact that one guy poured so much effort into making that movie. I looked for anything else like it and discovered the old Artwork III forum. This led to me wanting to make comics of my own, so I joined this site shortly after. I still have that movie file somewhere on my computer...

[NorikSigma]

I stumbled upon Bs01 in 2010. It wasn't until 2011 that I decided to give BZPower, which was constantly mentioned as an affiliated website, a look.

 

Then I joined to play BZPRPG.

[Aanchir]

I first came across it back when it was linked to from the official BIONICLE website back in 2004, if I remember correctly. I don't remember how I rediscovered it later, but I think the reason I eventually joined might have been because of having questions for Greg. It was basically the first web community where I went from being a lurker to being an active user.

[Vorahk1Panrahk2]

I gotta be honest and say that I don't remember how I found the site. I think it -may- have been linked to or mentioned on another fan site, and I decided to join because... why not? I liked BIONICLE and it seemed like a good site. 

[25K Now!]

I decided to join after hanging around BS01 for a while.

[V-N]

I first stumbled upon BZP in Google, but only later became interested after hearing a lot about it on another BIONICLE fan site (though I still didn't join for a while).

[randomreviewerbros]

I found it I think in only 2009 when I was looking through different bionicle sites and I came about Bzpower but I only joined two years ago

[JAG18]

I was on Wikipedia's Bionicle page and in the references was a link to BZPower's Toy Fair coverage.  That's what lead me here.  

[TERIDAX941]

Oh where do I start? Hmm... well a friend showed me the main site that did reviews of certain legos, and that they let you know in advance what sets were showing up just a little bit before the magazine came in the mail. After that I just started reading the forums and that just led to one thing after another and I finally became a member.

[Meiko]

I joined because my brothers were members. I wasn't too active at first but began frequenting the site when I learned that some friends from school were also members. That was around the time that My LEGO Network was popular so my friends from school and I used BZPower as a way to communicate and rank up in that game. I revisited BZPower again after the long downtime (which I didn't know happened until after it was over) because I was also becoming active on BIONICLEsector01 and HEROsector01 at the same time.

[Adventurer]

I found BZP first in late 2006 after hearing on the Lego.com message boards that Greg F posted here. Instantly hunted down the site and was amazed to find he actually did!

[xccj]

I spent a lot of time on the old Lego message boards following their Bionicle discussions. I was intrigued about the then-mysterious Kal, and I kept hearing that some site called BZP had information on them. After a few visits I eventually joined in early 2003 because the forums here were so much better than the official Lego ones.

 

[BioSlayer]

I first heard about bzp at brickfair 2008.

[Pupwa21]

A few hundred pages in google, and I was linked here.

[KCGR]

I first heard reference of this site on the LMB around 2007, and stumbled my way onto it not too long after.

[Chronicler06]

If I remember correctly, I had done a lot of Googleing for various Bionicle subjects back in early 2004. I ended up finding a story in the Epics section that I liked so much that I wanted to make some comments of my own on it, and thus this site became the very first forum that I ever joined. True, I ended up making a lot of dumb mistakes later that year, but I have long since learned from them.

[Oroki]

If I remember rightly, there was a link to BZP on the Bionicle main site, back in 2003. I didn't speak English yet, but I visited the site anyway and that's how I learnt it.

[Element Lord of Milk]

January 2006, I heard of it on the Lego message boards. I think it was in relation to new set info, somebody posted the URL in a thread and I joined up first thing.

 

It's weird to think how different my life might have been had it not been for that random internet person.

[Pomegranate]

I'm not sure exactly how I found it, but I do remember that I used to frequent the official Lego Message Boards and thinking "gee, this place sure is a mess. I wonder if there is a more organised website, preferably where there aren't 50 questions a day about Toa needing their oil changed"

That prolly led to a little searching online. Since it was back around 2006 or 2007 that I stumbled upon BZ and lurked for a several months, I'm sure BZP was the top hit for "bionkle mesage bord" in Google.

[Dimension Lord]

I found it in 2005 when there were pictures of the next line up of sets and lurked for a time.  I didn't actually register until the very beginning of 2006.

[Heir of the Chronicler]

I honestly don't remember, since it was more than ten years ago! I would assume I found it through google, though, as I was eager to discover anything and everything BIONICLE I could find at the time.

[Kaxix]

Lego message boards in 2005. And of course I was looking for Bionicle news for the upcoming sets.

[Lady Kopaka]

I think it was through google. I tried to join back in 2004, but my parental block hindered me. I tried again in late 2005 and been around ever since (for the most part).

[Reya]

Through Bionicle.com in July. I didn't join until a few months later. I'll never forget how excited I was when I first saw the Rahkshi.

[doodleloot]

I honestly have no idea how I found it, it was so long ago and I was still a kid back then.

I do know that I was frequently browsing the forums over the years until I made an account this April though. 

[Franz Joseph Haydn]

This topic has been done into the ground many times over but I like telling the story so I thank you for giving me the chance

 

I was actually obsessed with BIONICLE months before joining BZP and was researching and reading my mind out. It was probably the most interesting time of my life, back then. And I came across and lurked on BZP. My parents at the time were net-wise and didn't want me to get into anything I couldn't handle but eventually I signed up.

[Matoro Zeliph]

I have discovered BZP by simply googling "bionicle news" back in 2002. I've always enjoyed their frequently posted updates/discussions that I've decided to join in late 2003. The reason why I haven't been active for the longest time until now is...well lets just say I am glad that I have been given a second chance, and once again thank you!

[Sybre]

Someone mentioned it back on BIONICLE's old website in the gallery. Y'know, that thing where you can post your MOCs and stuff.
