Blessed Blade Posted November 19, 2012 Share Posted November 19, 2012 I personally say it's the awesome community here; since the friendly atmosphere makes me want to return. I'd also say it's partly wanting to make some form of an impact; by helping out and such, and leaving a good impression on others, too, if that can be considered a valid reason. =) The Pokemon TopicPokemon: Rise of the Rockets - Rise of the Rockets Discussion Topic - Rise of the Rockets Side Stories Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Voltex Posted November 22, 2012 Share Posted November 22, 2012 Well, I'm friend with some of the other members here. There's also the numerous writing projects I have going on, and the writing contests that like to pop up. I'm also a member of a critics club and a member of the Ambage, so that alone is enough to keep me here... what else? I enjoy my blog a lot, and I like the BZPcraft competitions. There's also the RPGs, which I have sort of fallen out of 100% since Day Run ended. However, it's looking like there are at least two RPGs next contest that should be able to hold my interest, so I should be back there soon enough.-ibrow JOIN AETHERGARDE Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Stan McStudz Posted November 22, 2012 Share Posted November 22, 2012 Actually, I just came back.Aside from not being allowed to link to your own website if it has forums on it, I decided to come back for the nostalgia. I had a season of my life where I didn't care about BIONICLE. It was only until recently that I decided to come back.That, and for the little post count perks. Gives you something to work for.

Meiko Posted November 27, 2012 Share Posted November 27, 2012 I usually come here out of habit. For constantly reporting and covering news regarding LEGO, I usually go through a cycle of visiting almost every prominent LEGO community, blog, etc multiple times a day. The reason I'm more active here on BZPower than anywhere else was that this was my first forum, and I've come to love the place. I've met lots of great people, and it makes it a nice site to be on. -- Meiko - @georgebarnick LUG Ambassador and administrator at Brickipedia News reporter and database administrator at Brickset Administrator at BIONICLEsector01 DISCLAIMER: All opinions and contributions made under this account are based solely on my own personal thoughts and opinions, and in no way represent any of the above groups/entities.

NorikSigma Posted December 1, 2012 Share Posted December 1, 2012 (edited) Bionicle. It's shaped my life, like, 25% or something. And the community here is good. We are all nice people here, who don't go around spamming, partly too, thanks to the staff's casual yet firm control I mean governance of us. That, and BZPRPG. It's my duty to continue.A big part of it is the sense of belongown, and able to discuss Bionicle with people who love it, since only my brother is one of tgjhe few Bionicle fans which I know of personally. That, and the status BZPower is in a class of its own, really. It's special.

Noxryn Posted December 2, 2012 Share Posted December 2, 2012 Namely, it's a family-friendly community that has rules in place to avoid nutty drama (the type of drama where people end up getting hurt). Does the drama happen? Yeah sometimes, but since it's against the rules in a lot of cases, it's swiftly dealt with and people are reminded what is and isn't an appropriate action on the website. Additionally, I like having a place where people don't rampantly insult one another over the silliest things. Most of my close friends have moved on from here, or simply aren't very active here, and I personally do find a lot of the staff to be levelheaded people and pretty neat people overall. My Lego-based interests have waned, but this site does remind me of the hobby that inspired me to be creative. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Death of the Endless Posted December 7, 2012 Share Posted December 7, 2012 1) Bionicle. I actually get to talk about one of my nerdy interests to people who want to hear about it! 2) RPGs. 3) This is one of the few places on the internet which is neither a hive full of creepy and/or hateful trolls nor a site dedicated to criticizing aforementioned trolls. I can come here and be pretty sure that what I find won't depress me for the rest of the day. Weaver, Seeker, and Spark "When the first living thing existed, I was there, waiting.

Peach 00 Posted December 20, 2012 Share Posted December 20, 2012 I personally don't know. Over the years, I've found that this place has a very broad dark side, making it rather unappealing in most cases. This dark side spreads to the behavior of the members, the staff - anybody. It makes me less and less eager to come back. Look at the latest war. That's an example of something that would make me less eager to come. This is a kids' site, people. What do you prove by discussing those topics here, of all places? Maybe consider that the kids don't fully aware what was discussed this latest war, and I doubt that their parents would like it if their kids heard about it on a website full of self-absorbed teenagers. Some people have traditional families in which those topics aren't discussed so openly, and in families like this, those topics are explained by the parents to the children. That aside (seeing as I wouldn't like to get off topic or start a whole other war entirely...), that's just one of those things that sets me off and makes me not want to come here. We don't need to discuss politics and religion or anything controversial here. It's stated very clearly in the rules. Certainly, I can't deny that I've talked about politics here in a very open mannerism but a year ago, but I couldn't help it. It's human nature. But sometimes it just can't be helped. But still. The presence of my friends keeps me here. I would trade e-mails with them in a heartbeat, but I don't use e-mail that much, and I prefer instant messaging or a personal messenger like the one here. I will probably trade e-mails with them now, since I don't see contacting with them over IM. But anyhow, the only other thing that keeps me here is the Library. I love to post my writings here and share them with the people I know to get their personal opinion. But I've lost most of my reviewers. So now what do I have to keep me here? Nothing. It's simply a distraction from school. Not to say that I'm leaving now. It's just that I probably won't frequent the place much, now that's been concluded. But I've dragged on for ages now to say something so simple. So again...I personally don't know. 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...

Pomegranate Posted January 16, 2013 Share Posted January 16, 2013 Other forums' servers crashing too frequently :PIn reality, I keep getting very nostlagic for the community and the atmosphere of this forum-- after spending five and a half years here, it's certainly like a second home in some ways. In fact, I'm back yet again from one of my many long hiatuses and I have a feeling I'll be sticking around for a while ^_^In comparison to the other places I've spent my time in the meanwhile, the staff here are the best I've encountered; they're not dysfunctional and they keep the forum running smoothly and efficiently, stay on top of everything, and they're not hostile towards the members. Everyone gets along and is here to have fun, and I love spending my time here. Y'all are just wonderful! . Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
