Bambi Posted August 21, 2012 Share Posted August 21, 2012 Having a blog that I can use to post my random thoughts so they don't get backed up in my mind.This, and the fact that most of my friends are on here.

Meiko Posted August 21, 2012 Share Posted August 21, 2012 I like that it's easy to converse, well-moderated, and that everyone has common interests. It makes it easy to get along and stay on topic.

Taka Nuvia Posted August 22, 2012 Share Posted August 22, 2012 I think what I really like most is that pretty much all of the members are more or less open for interaction. In other words, if I pm someone, I always get a reply of some sorts, and usually there's still plenty of conversation. Yes, in some cases it lasts longer than in others, but it's the thought that counts. :)And that BZPower is a safe and child-friendly place. My second most favourite thing about this site, really. ^^ Quote My art collection topic - updated! (21/09/2021) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Taipu1 Posted August 27, 2012 Share Posted August 27, 2012 I like the familiarity of everybody, if I scroll through a topic it's unlikely I'll see a sig or Avatar thats unfamiliar, and when I do, I notice and it becomes familiar. There's always somebody to break things up as well, if somethings getting close to an argument, there's always staff on hand.

Nuparu1995 Posted August 29, 2012 Share Posted August 29, 2012 The community. It's really friendly, really easy to mesh with just about anybody.

Aderia Posted August 31, 2012 Share Posted August 31, 2012 A little thing about BZP that I like, maybe taking the 'little' to heart a bit too much, is this topic, actually. It's all happy and positive, it makes me smile =) Quote (disclaimer: none of this banner art is original, I just smooshed it together in gimp. Torchic, Matau) Those pesky firespitters...

Thunder on the Mountain Posted September 3, 2012 Share Posted September 3, 2012 I like the little differences. Like how you call a quarter pounder with cheese a 'royal with cheese'. And a Big Mac is Le Big Mac.Erm...I mean.I like how we've got rock solid rules with no misconceptions, but the mods aren't stone cold hardcases. I like the library forum, and all the real nice folk in there. I also quite like contests. Mostly library ones. I like watching the other ones.

Overlord Posted September 5, 2012 Share Posted September 5, 2012 It's funny how so many people are listing things that are actually not that "little". :PI do like quite a few things - the (fairly) clean look of the site, the friendliness of other members, etc. But I think the things I'd consider "small" - buttons, in-forum navigation, and such - are not anything that make me like BZP in particular. The "load more topics" button in forums is nice, I guess.Also, I'd like to note that not only is the "closeness of the community" a large concept (not some little thing!), I rarely feel or see anything like that here. It's just smaller, not necessarily closer, on BZP now.~:~ Quote "YOU'D THINK, FOR BEING A DEAD MAN, I'D BE MORE TRIUMPHANT THAN I AM." Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Wotz Posted September 5, 2012 Share Posted September 5, 2012 I'd like to say the community or friendliness or the staff or something, but they're freakin' huge.I suppose I'll have to say the general quirkiness of pretty much everyone on here Quote D U N E W O L F Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Mare Tranquillitatis Posted September 29, 2012 Share Posted September 29, 2012 Another thing I like about BZP is that usually people can be recognized just by their hobbies and talents: there are weapon designers, comic makers, awesome MOCers, talented writers, skilled artists and so on. I've found myself thinking to people by calling them "the guy who draws very well" or stuff like that. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Voltex Posted October 2, 2012 Share Posted October 2, 2012 I really enjoy the community aspect these days. The occasional new member (or old member coming back) dropping in and staying is always welcome, while at the same time the people that stay I've gotten to know better. I've been far more active on the community side of things on the new forums than I ever was before the Downtime, although to be honest that's just a bit of a radical (and forced) bit of lifestyle change for me all around irl too.Anyway yeah, I also like how we members can so easily set up things like Minecraft competitions and stuff like that.-ibrow Quote JOIN AETHERGARDE Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Axonn's Fury Posted October 22, 2012 Share Posted October 22, 2012 The mere fact that it feels like home. I have been gone for a few years, come back, and feel just the same as I did 6 years ago. BZP love.- Taka Quote BZPChat Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Peach 00 Posted October 24, 2012 Share Posted October 24, 2012 The people. Some of them can be irritating and rude, but then you meet those people who are great and understanding. Unfortunately, that seems like a minority these days... 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...

Nara Posted October 29, 2012 Share Posted October 29, 2012 I love how the staff actually go on and comment on topics, with humor. It breaks away the authority feel, but keeps it at the same time with the colored member status thing.

Kakaru Posted October 29, 2012 Share Posted October 29, 2012 I love the staff and everything they're doing behind the scenes to keep this thing up and running and to keep us all together as a community.And basically everyone I've ever met here and some whom I've even had the pleasure of meeting in real life.

Lyichir Posted October 30, 2012 Share Posted October 30, 2012 I like how BZPower's history as a Bionicle fansite makes for a unique experience of other themes. The majority of AFOL sites I visit scoff at Hero Factory and sometimes don't even take Ninjago seriously. But BZPower usually pays more attention to themes other sites ridicule, especially themes with similarities to Bionicle: constraction themes and story themes in particular. Within these themes, BZPower also gives more credit to the media that convey the themes' stories, whereas many other Lego fansites view them simply as a means to an end, that end being new sets or parts.
