Little things you like about BZPower

[CeeCee]

I like that small town feel. I feel like every one knows every one. Now, while that being untrue, I at least recognize a good number of people, especially in my home region (Story lines and theories). If you think about BZP is like a County. Each forum section being cites and the sub forums being little areas like a road or something lol. Every one has their only little place where they feel most at home on here( at least I do) So any way. What are the little things you like on BZPower?

[FrozenFlash]

I really like how easily you can strike up a conversation here. It can give you the chance to get to know someone better.

[WeatherDragon]

I do feel like BZPower is like a small county or village, I recognize many members in topics and such.I love that about BZPower, because it directs more attention towards each of us, letting us get to know each other well.It also makes the site more simple and less stressful.

Having a blog that I can use to post my random thoughts so they don't get backed up in my mind.Though I'm not using it nearly as much as I used to.

Maybe you have unleashed a lot of your back of mind thoughts

I like that most members are typically quite mature, even when discussing touchy subjects.

This. Its like a small town with people from all over the world, I really like that. I have friends (relative term) out of state and out of country, it's awesome. Also, I get chances to talk to people that I normally wouldn't because of age differences (location differences too, as mentioned before). It really helps with that 'learn something new every day' gig. Edited August 10, 2012 by Aderia

This also. When I'm on BZP, I automatically go on to a more mature mind set. I dont know why really, but its good.

[Klak]

The recognition of many people, Games and Trivia, funny statuses, new look and feel, some of the community, Bionicle S&T, nice and mature members, Yon, memes that are funny, good COT topics that don't end up in flaming, etc.

[UltraHau]

I also like how lots of people have awesome Ace Attorney or Mega Man avatars.

[Akuna Toa of Sonics]

Unlike a lot of forums, this one doesn't have that many people, but we kind of know each other.And I like the creations in BBC.

[GSR]

Concurring on the size of the active population here. It's large enough to have discussion going, yet not so big that you lose track of who's who. It's pretty rare for me to see someone post and think, "hey, who is that?" It gives a nice sense of community.

[Eyru]

I like the staff. I've been a member of quite a few other forums, and I think we're quite spoiled to have such a mature, easygoing team of staff members.

[Toa Smoke Monster]

As others have already said, I enjoy recognizing the majority of the members on the site. I usually never look at a member's username and think "who is that?" (Unless they change their name. Then I do ask that question sometimes. )I also like that bad words cannot be typed here. I have yet to find another forum that does this. I think that it really helps BZP stay a mature site.

Perhaps because you're talknig to people who you don't really know well, except those little things you might learn here on BZP. If they were all real life friends, you would have had a more familiar way of relating to them.I like how people know, less or more, each the other. And this:

You nailed my thoughts.-Gata

[~Shockwave~]

I don't know, I think it might be because it's small. because there is another forum I tried, made one post, and rarely check back. it just wasn't as welcoming, like no one would ever know i'm there. no matter how much I posted.and the word filter. now all we need to do is find a way to make it work on spoken words and we should be good.

I love how mature everyone is. It is rare to see so many mature members, but it is still so awesome and I love it.

[Sumiki]

Everyone here is nice and helpful and awesome. The maturity of the membership is, I think, a byproduct of the activity. There are less troublemakers, leading to a closer group of members. It's much nicer than the hectic hubbub of the old BZP, which felt more like a metropolis than a small town.

[Based Goomy]

I like the feeling when you discover someone with similar interests to you.

[electrodude]

The absence (mostly) of trolls and flamers, except when that TRUE FAN MOVEMENT thing struck a few years ago. Most people here are nice and understanding, and it ain't always that way on forums.

[Eeko]

I love all the different sub-fandoms on BZP. Very rarely on the internet can you find Bronies, Homestuck fans, Whovians, etc. getting along, without devolving into flame wars.

I conquer. (Muahahahaha!). Aka I agree. I love the ability to talk to everyone from so far away. ^^Also the members here are really great! The staff are cooky and fun, you can have an intelligent conversation with someone and there are some pretty impressive peeps on here that do incredible things (like our artists and MOCers and writers).

[Makuta DUSt]

I like that small town feel. I feel like every one knows every one.

Sometimes you wanna go where everybody knows your na-a-ame, (doo doo doo)And where everybody's glad you ca-a-ame (doo doo doo)...I like it for the same reasons you do. It's also the only active forum I can go to where almost everyone is reasonable, and where people can say what they want without being cursed at, trolled or being shouted at.

The internet has always seemed a little bit like the wild west to me. Yet in this sea of chaos and lawlessness that has spawned so many websites that shouldn't be named we have BZPower which has somehow kept control over the content and remained child safe for so many years. Similarly I have always felt BZPower's organization of the staff has been ahead of its time in comparison to many discussion boards out there.

I like that small town feel. I feel like every one knows every one.

That's what first drew me to BZP back when it was still BionicleZone. And while I am sad that the activity has gone down since the Golden Age of Bionicle I love that the small town feel has returned.

[Cosmic Titan]

I really like how this website is protected from much of the corruption the rest of the internet is full of. And while it does get really annoying to not be able to mention websites that seem like common knowledge nowadays it does seem to help protect the website and the community.

[Linsanity]

Well, I really like the forum upgrade. Another thing I like is the premier perks that they give us when it's BZP's birthday.

[Makuta Matata]

I especially love the way that BZPower is nice and small, yet large at the same time. Similar to what SamH1995 said.

[Roki]

It's very much a small-towny feel nowadays.Though back before the end of Bionicle, it seemed more like a mega-city to me. Though,this feel does remind me more of the community I originally stumbled upon back in 2002. I like all of the different small things that make BZPower, BZPower.-Roki

[Core: Matoran of Chaos]

Even though I sometimes miss the big community that BZPower used to have, I have grown to quite like the smaller one that has emerged from it. It's awesome to be able to come back after four years of inactivity and not paying attention to Bionicle and still feel welcomed here. It's also nice to be able to play games in Off-Topic and see the same posters over and over again.

[25K Now!]

I like how everything here is nice and orderly, with nothing really controversial and drastic going on.

[Highly Suspicious Person]

I like how BZPower has gotten smaller since the end of Bionicle. I remember seeing this site around 2009 and being pretty intimidated by the size of it. Now it has the small town feel, where you know almost everyone.

[High Voltage]

I like how it's smaller nowadays. Before I came left and back I really only knew knew one person, but nowadays I'm getting to know an increasing amount of people on here. Pretty much what everyone else said basically. Also everyone is nice and understanding here, so it is a nice little shelter from a lot of other places on the internet that I frequent where everybody hates absolutely everybody and no one admits they're wrong.

[MrSciFiGuy]

The smallness is nice, we lost a lot of people during the move especially, but I do hope it grows to what it was before. I'm not leaving any time soon. Everyone here is knowledgeable, friendly and its still a wonderful site

[Athmos]

I love all the different sub-fandoms on BZP.Very rarely on the internet can you find Bronies, Homestuck fans, Whovians, etc. getting along, without devolving into flame wars.

This so much. It's a very nice change from the other forums I've been on.

[fauxname]

I like how it's small, yet active.

[Paleo]

I really love the small, tight-knit community that has developed here after the end of Bionicle. This has led to a great deal of maturity among members, which is absolutely beautiful to see. Very seldom do I see spammy posts, and the mass of blogs seems to have decreased, which both make it much easier to find meaningful posts and interesting entries to read.

I like the staff. I've been a member of quite a few other forums, and I think we're quite spoiled to have such a mature, easygoing team of staff members.
