SonicBOOM XS Posted October 14, 2011 Share Posted October 14, 2011 I'm loving the new forums thus far, but as for the downtime, I was looking at it around weekly. At one point I quit, but yeah, generally weekly. Glad they're back, though! Quote Undergoing Renovations... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Meiko Posted October 14, 2011 Share Posted October 14, 2011 I didn't really check much after it went down, because it kept giving my a board message. I didn't want to bother with that, but I continued to view news.

Ernst Stavro Blofeld Posted October 14, 2011 Share Posted October 14, 2011 I checked the site about once every couple of days, but on average I'm going to have to say I checked the actual forums about weekly. Mostly I just waited for confirmation that they were indeed back up.

Meiko Posted October 14, 2011 Share Posted October 14, 2011 Nowadays, I'm going to leave it open all day and all night, like I do with several other pages that I leave open as "App Tabs". That way, whenever I open my browser, it'll bee there!

Paleo Posted October 14, 2011 Share Posted October 14, 2011 DAILY!I absolutely love this site (partially because it's the only place where I can actually discuss bionicle :-) )Today I was actually hoping as I came home from school that the forums would be back up, and lo and behold THEY ARE!

Tenebrae Invictus Posted October 14, 2011 Share Posted October 14, 2011 I voted Daily, then realized you meant forums. So it was probably weekly, but multiple times a week. Just not daily.

Tavakai Posted October 14, 2011 Share Posted October 14, 2011 I checked it two or three times. I'd find out if it were back pretty quickly from people talking about it on Skype or one of the websites I go to (which is actually how I found out it came back).

Republic Commando Niner Posted October 15, 2011 Share Posted October 15, 2011 Well considering not even the archives weren't around until a couple days before the site went back up, none :PI did check the homepage daily thought Quote -Signature Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Sumiki Posted October 15, 2011 Share Posted October 15, 2011 "Daily" was my closest answer. In reality I checked it about two times over a period of three days. Quote avatar by Lady Kopaka Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Demon Shisa Posted October 16, 2011 Share Posted October 16, 2011 I was going on this site less and less for close to a year up until the downtime, then during the downtime I only checked like... once a month. I feel like I haven't actually engaged myself in this site for pretty much a whole year, and now I feel aimless. I don't know what to do anymore. not like I ever did do anything on this site anyway. It's not because I'm not into bionicle anymore, it's just BZPower. When I started going on this site, in 8th grade 3 years ago, it was because i felt like I didn't belong. I felt like I was invisible, watching all of the other kids act so shortsighted and unaware of their existence. I wanted to belong somewhere so badly! I thought (being a bionicle fan obviously) that of all places, a bionicle forum would be the perfect place to make a friend or two. I would soon find that this site was clickier than my school, and the administrators were some of the most cynical people I have ever come across. It was just an overall unwelcoming, and mildly hostile environment. I feel like no one extended to me any form of kindness. Thanks for all the positive reinforcement in junior high when I really needed it. Aw man, I wanted to be one of you guys so badly back then!so now you're probably thinking "how's this my problem?"There are thousands of other profiles on this site with a couple hundred posts or so, profiles just like mine, of people who were intimidated by this system you've constructed, and left the site.I know this is gonna sound corny, but i don't care at this point, so here' goes... unity UNITY! Jeez, I know bionicle is fiction, but the values we learned from it don't have to be!now you're probably like " Th-This is off topic... and spam and stuff!"fine... block it edit it censor it I DON'T CARE! Why don't you give me a one star rating on my profile while you're at it!no one read my posts anyway... no one's gonna read this either...Oh and to following members Inferna Firesword, and toa malume, who actually did show some hospitality, I sincerely appreciated it.see ya later BZPower Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Velox Posted October 16, 2011 Share Posted October 16, 2011 I voted daily, but it wasn't quite daily... Since the forums have been online for the staff I've been viewing daily to see if there was anything new I could help out with, but before that it was probably two or three times a week [though for the first few weeks it was daily as well].

Dorek Posted October 17, 2011 Share Posted October 17, 2011 If you mean to check to see if it had actually come back up? Never. I figured it would take a really long time, and that there would be a big show and dance when it came back. If you mean for news and stuff, about weekly, more frequently if somebody pointed out a specific news story I would find interesting.

Triggons Posted October 23, 2011 Share Posted October 23, 2011 Bi-weekly. Occasionally I would check for the sheer reason of wanting to reminisce my childhood (even though it was only really a year ago). But I guess I missed BZPower, so here I am.
