Black Six Posted August 12, 2016 Share Posted August 12, 2016 BBC Contest #73: Brickin' It Old School! Results! 1. Manas by Disty says hi (32 votes) 2. Beach Attack of the Water Vako by xccj (23 votes) 3. Neo Bohrok Mk XXII by LBear (17 votes) 4. Toa Jordrok by Sergei Rahkmaninoff (14 votes) 5. Dark Hunter Rampage by Infrared (12 votes) 6. DH Crusher by Click (5 votes) 7. Regal Guard - Riot Division by Makaru (4 votes) For winning first place, Disty says hi will receive 8548 Nui-Jaga. For winning second place, xccj will receive 8563 Tahnok and 8554 Tahnok Va. For winning third place, LBear will receive a 8503 Scuba. All finalists will receive Bionicle t-shirts. Thanks to Bill Bourn and Shilo for the prizes and LEGO for the shirts! I hope you all enjoyed our take on bringing back the classic Bionicle feel, which was only made more apt with the cancellation of Bionicle again during the contest period. The MOCs went over great with the public as always, and I appreciate everyone who sent or brought their MOC to BrickFair Virginia. While the BBC Contest may be over, don't forget to vote in the July Flickr Contest! Thanks to Tufi Piyufi for letting me co-host this contest, and to everyone who participated by entering, commenting, or voting! See you all next time! 10 Bio of a BZP Admin Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Endless Sea (Alaki Nuva) Posted August 12, 2016 Share Posted August 12, 2016 Man, I would've loved to be able to see these in person. Well done, everyone. It is not for us to decide the fate of angels. Dominus Temporis, if you're out there, hit me up through one of my contacts. I've been hoping to get back in touch for a long time now.

Mate.397 Posted August 12, 2016 Share Posted August 12, 2016 Correct me if I'm wrong here, but wasn't there some Tohunga thing mentioned among the voters or such? 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Toa Imrukii Posted August 12, 2016 Share Posted August 12, 2016 (edited) Complains about Convolution Okay, why did I have to follow four whole links to get here? I click on the news, go to the talk back which doesn't bring me to the page directly, so I have to click the link of the same name, so once I get there it's the same thing as the news, so I follow the link on THAT page to here, and here I am now. (also my profile pic fits this situation perfectly) Congrats on all the Winners nevertheless.

Ballom Nom Nom Posted August 12, 2016 Share Posted August 12, 2016 Congrats to the winners! There were some superb entries this time around, especially that Manas! Okay, why did I have to follow four whole links to get here? I click on the news, go to the talk back which doesn't bring me to the page directly, so I have to click the link of the same name, so once I get there it's the same thing as the news, so I follow the link on THAT page to here, and here I am now.The talkback links have always just linked to the talkback forum. If you'd clicked the first link in the news story you'd have been brought straight here. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Black Six Posted August 13, 2016 Author Share Posted August 13, 2016 Correct me if I'm wrong here, but wasn't there some Tohunga thing mentioned among the voters or such?You're correct. It's been so long since the contest started I had forgotten to pick those winners. We'll get on that soon. Thanks for the reminder!

Toa of Ice - 1987 Posted August 13, 2016 Share Posted August 13, 2016 (edited) First of all congratulations to all who participated with great ideas and entries. That Manas definitely earned the number 1 spot with good reason...it's amazing .Congrats to the winners! There were some superb entries this time around, especially that Manas!

If you'd clicked the first link in the news story you'd have been brought straight here. @Ballom: On the contrary, as a one of the oldest member to have joined here in 2002. I remember many things and i clearly remember that there was a time in bzpower's older older years where the talkback button was a direct link to the talkback topic instead of the talkback forum where all the topics for the are and you need to find the news topic you want it to get there. I don't understand why it changed, i only remember it was somewhere around when Bionicle Rex (Rich) one of BZPower's owners and Co-Founders, and most revered Administrators stepped down from command and Black Six (Andrew) took over as head administrator. It was around then when the links were changed to how to how it works. Edited August 13, 2016 by necross hordika Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

What I left off in my post was that it's always been that way since the change when the forums switched to the new board software around 2011 or so, which I thought was a bit besides the point given that it's been a long time and Toa Imrukii joined after that switch had happened anyway.

One of the board software upgrades broke the automatic creation of Talkback topics that we used in our front page code. We were able to find a way to still automatically create the topics, but as I'm sure many of you have seen there's often a delay, which means it's impossible for us to add a link to it on the front page without manually putting it in after the fact. 1 Bio of a BZP Admin Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
