Illustrious Var Posted October 14, 2011 Posted October 14, 2011 So, BZP's been down for a reaaal long time now, about 6 months, speaking for myself before this I was on BZP several hours a day so having it go down for such a long time was quite a drastic change to my life. So how did you coupe with BZP being down? For me I moved on to playing on Minecraft servers with my friends from BZP. We also talked on Skype and Xbox Live a lot as well.
Mesonak Posted October 14, 2011 Posted October 14, 2011 We played a bunch of games, chatted about various things and stayed in contact with each other through various places. That's about it. Glad the forums have finally returned. -Mesonak The Three Virtues YouTube Channel ----- ----- Check it out for laughs, discussion, and more.
Eljay: Toa of Mangosteen Posted October 14, 2011 Posted October 14, 2011 I played Halo, and planned for comics. Oh, and BioCraft.

emily Posted October 14, 2011 Posted October 14, 2011 I ended up playing Lego Universe a lot more, but aside from that nothing changed much. believe victims. its actually not that hard, and youd look kind of bad if you were to, say, side with an abuser because theyre your friend
Metal Gear Minun Posted October 14, 2011 Posted October 14, 2011 Let's see Team Fortress 2, followed a wiki and a whole lot of homework.
toa zallernuva Posted October 14, 2011 Posted October 14, 2011 Well, I was confused and waited,and waited, and waited. but, im glad that the forms are back up.
Laughing Man Posted October 14, 2011 Posted October 14, 2011 I went about my usual business, discovered some other (better) places to spend time, and occasionally checked to see if the forums were back out of sheer curiosity.
Chibinuva Posted October 14, 2011 Posted October 14, 2011 Let's see, I joined other forums, upped my collection of sonic games several times over, and made a video for a Lego contest I can't link to. Oh, and I got 360 and Gamecube consoles to buy more sonic games, and joined the bronyhood. Time to go update my profile. <<Newest Chibi: Nuparu Inika
Zarohum Posted October 14, 2011 Posted October 14, 2011 I'm new here, but that doesn't mean I haven't wanted to join BZP. I meant to do it about a month before the forums went down, and I've been checking the site every day to get my chance. It'll be so nice to put up my first post... *click*
Erebus Posted October 14, 2011 Posted October 14, 2011 I played Team Fortress 2 most the time. Got caught up with the A Song of Fire and Ice series. Watched a bunch of movies. All that good stuff.
SolitaryHyena Posted October 14, 2011 Posted October 14, 2011 well....I just lived my life without bzpower, thats pretty much it. "And where does the newborn go from here? The net is vast and infinite."
Gameboy49 Posted October 14, 2011 Posted October 14, 2011 (edited) I read a webcomic called Homestuck...waiting for the EOA5 Flash. I also played a bunch of REACH and Minecraft. Edited October 14, 2011 by gameboy49
Caliga Posted October 14, 2011 Posted October 14, 2011 I played my Xbox, spent time elsewhere, and had a life sorta kinda I guess...
Franco Posted October 14, 2011 Posted October 14, 2011 See this blog post for a full list of what I did during the downtime. But IMHO, it actually wasn't that bad. I really mainly did stuff I do regularly, except for BZP. -The Fearless Leader [Profiles] Wisdom. Restraint. Emptiness.
~Allegretto~ Posted October 14, 2011 Posted October 14, 2011 Video games (specifically Reach, Brotherhood, Mass Effect, Portal 2, and Fallout). And ponies. And video game-pony crossovers.
Roablin Posted October 14, 2011 Posted October 14, 2011 (edited) I did schoolwork. Played with minecraft mods. Portal 2. Stuff. Edited October 14, 2011 by Roablin
Dorek Posted October 14, 2011 Posted October 14, 2011 As I said in the other topic... Worked on making HS01 spiffy so that we could remain relevant and current.Speculated on how long the boards would be down, and trolled people who said it would be soon.Vacationed in France.Aaaaand that's about it. Basically, went on with my life, which didn't really take a huge blow from the forums being down. Kinda nice to have them back, I guess? That's basically what I did. What I should have done is create an input graph on "how many people are going to say that they waited for the boards to come back" BS01's Ambassador (Like us, Follow us)
Evex_Wolfwing Posted October 14, 2011 Posted October 14, 2011 (edited) Played Darkspore, got Minecraft, gave up on Pokemon, only get back into it just a few days ago, Ponies, drawing, writing, building with Lego Bricks, etc... Basically everything as usual, minus these forums. EDIT: huh... Lego s is changed into Lego bricks... weird. Edited October 14, 2011 by Evex is back baby YEAH They were called Tenno. Warriors of blade and gun: masters of the Warframe armor. Those that survived the old war were left drifting among the ruins. Now they are needed once more. The Grineer, with their vast armies, are spreading throughout the solar system. A call echoes across the stars summoning the Tenno to an ancient place. They summon you. Allow the Lotus to guide you. She has rescued you from your cryostasis chamber and given you a chance to survive. The Grineer will find you; you must be prepared. The Lotus will teach you the ways of the Warframes and the secrets to unlocking their powers. Come Tenno, you must join the war.
Creep Of The Deep Posted October 14, 2011 Posted October 14, 2011 Become a Brony.Join other forums (I spy a little Dorek on one of those ;D). Bought Call of Duty 4: Modern Warfare for my PC.Got into Prestige 6 in Call of Duty: Black Ops Wii.And I got my very first 2.0 sets one month ago. Feels good man. . Do not trust corrupted memories.
Just A Dot Posted October 14, 2011 Posted October 14, 2011 I spoke to a girl, got a life, saved the earth, wrote a novel, and beat Luigi's Mansion with a perfect score. Gladly give it all up to have been here for the past 6 months.
Republic Commando Niner Posted October 14, 2011 Posted October 14, 2011 Well I moved across the country and completely restarted my life no joke..! -Signature
Little Miss Krahka Posted October 14, 2011 Posted October 14, 2011 I got back into Bionicle because I remembered that I am not very good at stopping loving things. So yeah. And I got into the highly frightening periphery demographic of yet another heavily merchandise driven storyline with six elementally based heroes who are mostly mono-gendered for marketing reasons who save the world from some evil darkness based villain and all sorts of other things that would make my broniness unsurprising, given my history.Also: Fallout. Lots and lots of Fallout. If I had a cool thing to put here I would put it here Probably not though It'd probably be some dumb meme Maybe some hipster-tastic lyrics Who cares
Republic Commando Sev Posted October 14, 2011 Posted October 14, 2011 Found a couple other websites to occupy my time with Besides that not much.Sev .
airtitan Posted October 14, 2011 Posted October 14, 2011 Met Stuart Sayger at baltimore comic con , and then checked bioniclestory everyday since the last serial... We fight and win, we fight and win, during the fight we lose focus and someone else steps in and takes the prize.

bioniclehero01 Posted October 14, 2011 Posted October 14, 2011 I sat in a corner and cried for hours... Contemplating how awesome my BZPower comedy was... repeating to myself that my life wasn't over but not completely believing myself... Then I got bored and went and played Uncharted 2. P.S. TO THE NUIMOBILE!! Nothin' to see here folks. Just keep movin' along.
Ballom Nom Nom Posted October 14, 2011 Posted October 14, 2011 I took a summer class, played a great deal of video games (Monster Hunter Freedom Unite ), and also participated in other online communities. ~B~
jamesster Posted October 14, 2011 Posted October 14, 2011 Posted on other LEGO forums and played LEGO Universe. And cried a little.
Meiko Posted October 14, 2011 Posted October 14, 2011 Well, I was at a boarding school for the majority of the time, so I missed it, and for a while didn't know that it was down! I'm certainly glad that it's back up though.

(Daedalus) Posted October 14, 2011 Posted October 14, 2011 *Incoming Transmission* I played too many games, thought up a bunch of stories that I never actually wrote, frequented some other forums, and started that terrible/awesome thing called college.

Ernst Stavro Blofeld Posted October 14, 2011 Posted October 14, 2011 (edited) I checked the website often to see if there was any news, in the meantime satisfying myself with video games (including spending waaaaay more time than is psychologically healthy playing LEGO Star Wars III for some reason), doing school work, and regularly checking the BZP news feed for anything interesting.I just realized how typical my life actually is. :POn a completely random tangent, we now have a very interesting yet almost completely inapplicable new emoticon: .

Klak Posted October 14, 2011 Posted October 14, 2011 It's great to be back, everyone! Anyways, I spent some time on other forums, played PLENTY of video games, graduated (have they been down that long?), and did so many things. They all can be summarized by one word: Life.

airtitan Posted October 14, 2011 Posted October 14, 2011 Oh yeah, and spent most weekends with my gf We fight and win, we fight and win, during the fight we lose focus and someone else steps in and takes the prize.
GCKrastin Posted October 14, 2011 Posted October 14, 2011 I played Minecraft, Blockland, Trackmania Nations, and DiRT 2.I also started doing normal stuff that normal people do. But most of the time I was just bored out of my wits. Researchers in the U.K. have developed a vegetable called “super broccoli” designed to fight heart disease. Not to be outdone, researchers in America have developed a way to stuff an Oreo inside another Oreo.Hello there, I am a brony!
