Toa Turing Posted July 25, 2012 Share Posted July 25, 2012 (edited) How many of you use the Lego.com message boards? How often? What do you think of them?I occasionally use the bionicle forum, but not very often, because I think they are disorganized and immature. They are obviously made for younger kids."I don't think 627 WAT UR FAVORITE BIONICAL topics are enough, so I'll make another one!"

TheSkeletonMan939 Posted July 25, 2012 Share Posted July 25, 2012 I hate them. Extremely disorganized, not to mention the whiny, fussy, and immature little kids that post there with bad grammar to the point where I can't even read anything. I occasionally post there with people who have a brain. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Samus Aran-Bounty Hunter Posted July 25, 2012 Share Posted July 25, 2012 I've used them, but it was way back before I had an account here and still played LU. Honestly, for every poster that uses grammer, there are 8-10 more that ignore it. And then they have the RPG zone, which is a bunch of 'HQ's and battle fields... Not that there aren't people that try to make things more organized, but to me it feels like a bunch of s that are constantly -ing posters into a state. Zakaro Quote They call me Zakaro.

Meiko Posted July 25, 2012 Share Posted July 25, 2012 (edited) Oh, the LEGO Message Boards. I used them once, a long time ago. It never really became a big "hobby" for me. I occasionally stop through there if I get linked from a search engine, searching something Ninjago-related.I'm surprised the skin hasn't changed since I used them...

Toa Smoke Monster Posted July 25, 2012 Share Posted July 25, 2012 I've never really been on its forum. I did make an account for it, but only to read the chapters of the last Bionicle book that were posted there. Quote Everyone is one choice away from being the bad guy in another person's story.

BenLuke Posted July 25, 2012 Share Posted July 25, 2012 (edited) bad grammarWhat? The people's grammar on there was just as good as plenty of other places, I believe you meant to say spelling.Official forums ran by toy/movie/whatever companies do tend to be pretty bad. in general. An official forum that's also aimed at young kids just adds to the problem. Edited July 25, 2012 by BenLuke-116 Quote BZPRPG Profiles Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Aanchir Posted July 25, 2012 Share Posted July 25, 2012 I've never really used them. Too rarely is there an actual ongoing conversation with new information introduced and expanded upon. A lot of topics, in fact, seem like the people posting there didn't read anything but the title and maybe the first post. I tend to prefer sites like BZPower where the moderators and members work to keep things on-topic rather than just a stream of tenuously-related comments.

Ballom Nom Nom Posted July 29, 2012 Share Posted July 29, 2012 I love them. They're a great place to go if you want to see some nearly depressing bring-back-BIONICLE drama.BZP still has its own share if that, in certain places.Anyway, no, I don't visit them. I had an account a while back, and occasionally posted old MOCs on the sharing function, but BZP's obviously much better in every single way, so I haven't been back there in years.~B~ Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Trijhak Posted July 29, 2012 Share Posted July 29, 2012 I used to visit them, in 2007 and before, then I stopped. In recent years, the only time I ever found anything even remotely close to coherency was when they had the secret LEGO Universe Alpha/Beta boards.Moderation is ridiculous, as well, and just by viewing parts of it, I swear I decreased in intelligence.

Soran Posted August 2, 2012 Share Posted August 2, 2012 I rarely go there.

WeatherDragon Posted August 7, 2012 Share Posted August 7, 2012 They're alright sometimes. The only time I check on it is when I go to the Ninjago messageboards to see if any Eleveners still exist. I've found a few but...the messageboards doesn't allow for custom contacting. Curses.But the messageboards are fine when they have sensible topics.

Aanchir Posted August 7, 2012 Share Posted August 7, 2012 Wait, what do you mean? Weird name?Shipping wars... never mind.The term "Shipping" is short for "relationshipping" and comes from the fandom of the TV show The X-Files, but it can be applied to any fandom (regardless of whether it's one where there's a lot of romance). It's basically when fans talk about which characters should end up or will end up in a relationship. I'm surprised to hear that there's a lot of it on the LEGO message boards, since you'd think that a lot of the younger users would still be in the "romance is gross" phase.On a side note, I have made a dedicated effort never to ship Breez with anyone. She's said in Hero Factory FM that she's not interested in romance, especially with any of her teammates, and I'd like to imagine that she means it.
