What Did You Do While The Forums Were Down?

[Trijhak]

I wasn't really doing anything that much different, asides from viewing a few other sites and a few changes in my everyday and school life. Then I waited for about a month while talking to Gatanui for a few minutes every few days about the forums. Oh, and I also began my GCSEs. And I bought and played Minecraft.

I played lots and lots of PS2 games while the main site was down. When it got back, I read through all the set reviews twice.

[Gatanui]

I have been tweeting a lot, talking via Skype more than usual and also enjoying as much as three big LEGO Universe updates during that time. And as Skrief aka KonguZlap has said two posts above me, also telling people on LU about the forum´s status all the time. :PApart from computer stuff, since it has been so long there is too much to list, but in the last two weeks I have also been writing on a 20-page essay for school.~Gata.

I fought dragons. Why, what do you do when you're off the Internet? Honest answer:Another semester to earn a Bachelors degree in Gamedesign, lots of illustrations, conceptual design and asset-creation for two videogame-projects I am involved in as well a lot of personal art and actually playing games.Also I crossed the Atlantic, went to BFair, got back, went to Gamescon and started the 3rd Semester.

Played CoD, Portal 1, Battlefield, LEGO Universe, Minecraft, and a bunch of other games.Edited wikis.Some other stuff.

[Venomcus]

Visited other sites, watched a ton of movies, some Doctor Who, played more Xbox games, delighted in other interests.

[Soap]

Lets see... played CoD, BF, AC2 and ACB, had two sets of exams (still ongoing), ice hockey, and checked everyday to see if the forums were back yet.

[Takhamavahu]

I have seen the light and accepted Doctor Who into my life.

I got skinnier and broke two jeans.

It's funny how life works.

[Shmid]

I found Minecraft, exhausted pretty much everything LU Free-to-play has to offer, started making 3D things, and, recently, mentally shouted at the computer screen every time I checked BZP and the forums weren't up.

[Wotz]

Well not much, just saved the Doctor's life twice, started a new year of school with even worse teachers and immense pressure for GSCEs and such, read a few books, went to a festival or two, went to Italy, went to France, went to Switzerland, ate a jam doughnut, sold my Wii, started writing a novel, started making a few Doctor who short stories for that video site which I probably won't finish, spent a lot of money and then dropped dead.But not for long, I then got up, ate some Shreddies, watched a documentary about Daleks, went on my computer and BZP's back. HOORAYY!!

[Protodite Karzahni]

Discovered My Little Pony: Friendship is Magic... Never stopped watching it. Also put off doing coursework for as long as I can. And with BZPower back up and running I can continue doing so.

[Senrab]

Played Runescape and went to school. Also, I checked the BZP website daily waiting for the forums to come back. Every day for like what, 7 months now? It was starting to drive me insane.

[Terminus]

Played Video Games (More Specifically, Final Fantasy XIII, Infamous, and Arcana Heart 3)Watched AnimeWorked on my MOCsWent to the BZP main page almost hoping for the forums to be back

[believe victims]

Think of how little I was going to do when it came back.

[CHTrilogy]

Well, becoming a Brony, for one thing... playing as much pinball as I liked for another. Then there was having to format my hard disk and squabbling with the college course.

[toa ordaku]

For me I moved on to playing on Minecraft servers with my friends from BZP.

Ditto. What servers do you play?

[T.B.O.C]

I did stuff with my life... played some Minecraft, got addicted to Pokemon (Kanto games, I'm playing LeafGreen) started making videos , starting several different walkthroughs of games, and I cried everytime I thought of the BZPower Fourms.... not really, but it's great to be back! EDIT: Sorry! I frogot we can't say the name of that site, man it's been too long.

[Kanaya Maryam]

Went out and had a life, went to other forums, and did a heck of a lot of Social Networking. Oh, and Homestuck. So. Much. Homestuck.

[Ektris]

Renewed my collecting interest in a broader spectrum, which led to becoming an active viewer (never much of a poster anywhere but here...) on a few other sites. ~|ET|~

[Riglax]

Assuming you're asking how I kept contact with my friends from Bzpower, I'd say I stayed in Mata Nu Inc long enough to not loose interest in Bzpower and the community as whole. Overall, I'd gave me more time to focus on other things except the Internet. In other words, it was awesome.

[Toa of Tech]

Homework, 4-H, Farmwork, PONIES. Other random stuff.

[Aedai Rivin]

Various games and forums. Honestly not much.

[Neelh]

I stalked Iffy.Seriously.I turned 13.I got into Hetalia.I went on dA and another site which I don't think I'm allowed to mention.I started listening to Jpop and Vocaloid music. Scratch that, I listened to otaku music. I used to go on here every day to see if it was back up.

[B.M.800]

Went on with life... got a minibike... joined minibike forum... did some stuff... made some money... made a homebrew nerf blaster... got to know some people a lil bit better... probably some more stuff too. Got another gokart too... I did check every once in a while to see any updates...

[Heat]

Pretty much everything else I used to do before the forums went down. -Heat

[Argentum]

I just kept up with the Hero Factory Story, played on my Xbox, edited some wikis and slept. ~Argentum~

[Akamai921]

I became a productive member of society and actually contributed to the world. And lemme tell ya, it was the worst six months of my life; never leave me again BZP! I've longed for nothing more than to lurk the forums again!

The Witcher 2, The Witcher 2, The Witcher 2 and, in slightly more uniqueness... The Witcher 2.Also, wrote some stuff, and actually had a life. ... You know what, I don't plan on giving my life up just yet.-Dovydas

Let's see:

• [*]Did a ton of programming on my free and open-source ROBLOX/Blockland replacement, gearing up for its November 6th release[*]Played a mountain of free and open-source games - Warsow, Teeworlds, SuperTuxKart, Secret Maryo Chronicles, Galaga: Hyperspace, SuperTux 2, and a bunch of others[*]Participated in both BEST and FIRST (the former is still running as of today), and became a FLL mentor[*]Honed my vector drawing skills a bit[*]Learned even more than I thought I would about Linux[*]Started a blog[*]Found a more secure P2P alternative to "that social networking site" (which I never used in the first place)

Yeah, I've been busy. Actually, I haven't missed BZP all that much, since I found more worthwhile (gasp) stuff to replace it, that also benefited me more in the long run, too.

Social networking sites aren't allowed to be mentioned period

[Taka Nuvia]

... I've been drawing, just as always. Oh yes, my activity elsewhere increased a bit. *shrug*

[Varaka]

I got a job.

[MICKSTER]

Let's see, what did I do? Pretty much went to school. I also rode my bike a lot. Other than that, I just chilled like a parked camel. EDIT: Sorry 'bout that. It's been a while. http://www.bzpower.com/board/public/style_emoticons/default/blush.png

[Sparkytron]

Improved in MOCing. BZP was my main source to get comments and critic. I joined some other sites and I'm getting slowly known :PI also played some videogames since I got a new PC in the downtime. The games were, Portal 1 &2. Half-Life, Half-Life 2, Half-Life Episode 1 & 2. I also played Bionicle the game and Bionicle Heroes. I went to some festivals and saw my favourite bands live. But I'm going to continue here what was doing before the downtime. Post MOC's and maybe write a Short Story.

[GSR]

As I said in the other thread, I got a job, learned some stuff, made some friends. Turns out C# is awful fun.

[Rarity]
