T.B.O.C Posted October 15, 2011 Share Posted October 15, 2011 Over the past few weeks, I've been noticing something. Ever since BZPower's fourms went down several months ago, I started doing other things, not exactly BIONICLE related. And coming back, and having the fourms and reading and starting over again, I've realized my knowledge of BIONICLE has gone down quite a bit. For example, I almost said the Piraka didn't have elemental powers (Which, after Spirah's experiments with Skakdi, they can use in conjunction with another Skakdi, though due to their nature, this would rarely happen) Is anyone else having this? Or do I just hold myself to high standards? Also, if you have been noticing this, what's something you've forgotten you feel you really should know about BIONICLE?

re:Twilite Posted October 15, 2011 Share Posted October 15, 2011 I totally agree. I feel like, ever since the forums went down, all my knowledge was completely wiped clean. I only remember names and a lot of the basics. Quote It's all because the internet. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

LaputanMachine Posted October 15, 2011 Share Posted October 15, 2011 Same with me... A lot has changed in these past few months. Quote For me, BIONICLE was an epic science fantasy saga with a deep and complex lore, and was best when it was exactly that in its later years. I'm not sorry if that offended you.

Artezza Magnus Posted October 15, 2011 Share Posted October 15, 2011 I wouldn't say I've forgotten anything, rather the informations just been pushed to the back of my mind.

~Allegretto~ Posted October 15, 2011 Share Posted October 15, 2011 I remember about as much as I did before the forums went down.

Leg O'Brick Posted October 15, 2011 Share Posted October 15, 2011 My BIONICLE interest comes on in bi-yearly surges. Every 2 years, I have a sudden resurgence of BIONICLE interest; it lasts about a year, and then it fades. Then it starts back up again. Quote Nuparu's BoomBoxor is temporarily out of commission (been infected by some malware & whatnot, curse those anonymous russian bots). I guess I'll get around to putting it back up eventually. Maybe when Templar finally get around to re-doing the soundtrack to MNOG. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sakaru Posted October 15, 2011 Share Posted October 15, 2011 I Don't forget things easily, but with how busy my life got while the forums were down (moving, BNG, school, football...)

Taipu1 Posted October 15, 2011 Share Posted October 15, 2011 I'd certainly say I'm forgetting stuff, mainly names. I used to know the names of pretty much all the kanohi, now I'm not certain of some of the less relevant ones. Same for characters in general. Not sure if I'm forgetting any storyline related stuff, or character/species traits or anything like that, but I haven't been a situation where I've tried to remember these things.

Riglax Posted October 15, 2011 Share Posted October 15, 2011 (edited) It's natural to forget something when you loose interest at it. Unless BIONICLE is your life, you will have to keep checking the details of the story, or you ain't going to remember everything.

Dralcax Posted October 15, 2011 Share Posted October 15, 2011 (edited) I went to a Yugioh forum, and my interest in Yugioh spiked and Bionicle waned.

Peach 00 Posted October 15, 2011 Share Posted October 15, 2011 Yeah, me too. I remember members, but I don't remember things I did when it came to posting and whatnot. Like with urls, I've forgotten how to get rid of the actual address and put down the words I want there with the link. Bionicle in general I don't remember a lot about, or just not the detailed things that some people will talk about every once and awhile. Quote On the day the wall came down / They threw the locks onto the ground And with glasses high / We raised a cry / For freedom had arrived On the day the wall came down / The ship of fools had finally run aground Promises lit up the night / Like paper doves in flight I dreamed you had left my side / No warmth, not even pride remained And even though you needed me / It was clear that I could not do a thing for you Now life devalues day by day / As friends and neighbors turn away And there's a change that even with regret / Cannot be undone Now frontiers shift like desert sands / While nations wash their bloodied hands Of loyalty, of history / In shades of grey I woke to the sound of drums / The music played, the morning sun streamed in I turned and I looked at you / And all but the bitter residues slipped away slipped away...

Protodite Karzahni Posted October 16, 2011 Share Posted October 16, 2011 If anything, I know more. I have an entire story in my head, which spans across five films, so if ever I become a famous and trusted film director (HAHAHAHAno) and actually get the rights, I have something to make. Thusly, I've been developing it gradually over time (Actual plea: If someone knows a way for me to not think about it, let me know, it's killing me as I can't go a day without thinking about it) and so if ever I need to check a fact, in order to get it all 100% canon, I'm off to Biosector01.

Pomegranate Posted October 18, 2011 Share Posted October 18, 2011 Oh, I definitely noticed such an occurrence. In the many months BZPower was down, I somehow watched 90 episodes of TNG and became a Trekkie :PMeanwhile, I've had trouble remembering little things that used to come naturally to me, like names of Kanohi and some story events... But I suppose it's to be expected. I'm sure that after a few weeks in the S&T Forum will put me back in tip-top shape, in regard to my endless Bionicle trivia knowledge Quote .
