~garnira returns~ Posted December 23, 2012 Share Posted December 23, 2012 (edited) I was just looking through the products page of lego.com, and I noticed that the Bionicle website is gone! I wonder why it vanished? EDIT: Turns out that the website hasn't been deleted, just the link is missing. However, I wonder if this means the website is near it's end?

dotcom Posted December 23, 2012 Share Posted December 23, 2012 (edited) Nope. It's just not current enough to be on the products page, but it is still there. Edited December 23, 2012 by dotedu Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Creep Of The Deep Posted December 23, 2012 Share Posted December 23, 2012 I swear the day they take the BIONICLE site off, it'll be a really bad day for BIONICLE fans across the globe. I miss the 2008 websites. Do not trust corrupted memories. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
FrozenFlash Posted December 23, 2012 Share Posted December 23, 2012 I could have sworn someone else posted topic like this before. Anyways, yah. It's still there although I don't know how long it will stay there for. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Makuta of Time Posted December 23, 2012 Share Posted December 23, 2012 (edited) Probably till LEGO makes a new set. Then they'll have to use Bionicle's website, to make that sets site. EDIT: Also if the link to Bionicle's website is gone. Then it's about to go. Edited December 23, 2012 by The Forgotten One Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
toa kopaka4372 Posted December 23, 2012 Share Posted December 23, 2012 (edited) Relieved it's still around. It probably will have to go eventually, unless LEGO is planning to keep it around in case they go back to making BIONICLE sets.

Gatanui Posted December 23, 2012 Share Posted December 23, 2012 No reason really it should stay in the products section. It only makes it more cluttered than it needs to be, and BIONICLE was discontinued almost three years ago.-Gata - Gata Please don't use my avatar or signature without permission, thanks!

Dralcax Posted December 23, 2012 Share Posted December 23, 2012 (edited) It costs money to keep a website alive, and, Bionicle has been gone for years, so there's really no need to keep the website up, after all, with no new products, and all the games already archived on fansites, why not use the server space for something more profitable, Chima, for example, and just leave Bioniclestory.com up?

BIONICLE takes up only a tiny fraction of this cyberspace. Its removal would have a negligible effect at best. avatar by Lady Kopaka Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Death of the Endless Posted December 23, 2012 Share Posted December 23, 2012 It'll probably be there for a long while yet. After all, the Exo-Force and Orient Expedition sites are still up even if they're not easy to get to. Weaver, Seeker, and Spark "When the first living thing existed, I was there, waiting.

Great Being Velika Posted December 23, 2012 Share Posted December 23, 2012 If you just type www.bionicle.com in your search bar, BIONICLE.com will appear. I was really freaked out when I didn't see the BIONICLE webpage on lego.com,but I found it. I like BZP so much, I named my Minecraft account Dimensioneer.

Toaman25 Posted December 24, 2012 Share Posted December 24, 2012 I bookmarked the Bionicle site since it was taken off of products. I was so worried when I found that shocking thing out! Farewell, Bionicle.com You will always be remembered. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
chirox_krika Posted December 25, 2012 Share Posted December 25, 2012 I'm glad that the site is not deleted. The link to it was just removed from the Products page. Here's the site's adress and it works:http://bionicle.lego.com/en-us/default.aspx Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Lyichir Posted January 2, 2013 Share Posted January 2, 2013 I swear the day they take the BIONICLE site off, it'll be a really bad day for BIONICLE fans across the globe.//This. Will it really? I hardly used the Bionicle website when the theme was still running, and haven't been there at all since it ended. And while I'm sure others may check it more often, there's really no reason to considering that it's no longer updating and all the information from the site is on BS01 already. The only things I can think of that would be lost are the games, and considering resourceful FOLs have managed to find even games that were considered long lost like the "Supersonic RC" game, even those probably wouldn't be gone for good. Discussion on the Message Boards would probably continue as well. The Bionicle site really doesn't represent that much as far as the theme is concerned, and it'd be far from the end of the world if it was taken down.

But there are people here that are nostalgic enough, that if they take the site off it'll be close to the death of a relative, emotion-wise. Personally I'll miss the website designs. But so far LEGO seems fine enough to maintain the website, maybe until next year. Do not trust corrupted memories. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Gatanui Posted January 4, 2013 Share Posted January 4, 2013 (edited) Agreed. It would be the final proof that Bionicle really is gone for good. :/Not really. Even in the case that it would come back, they'd make an entirely new website anyway. As long as they keep the BIONICLE.com domain, I don't really see it as an issue.-Gata Edited January 4, 2013 by Gatanui - Gata Please don't use my avatar or signature without permission, thanks!

There is no way to tell that it will or will not come back until we get a not ambiguous word from an official source. 3DS Freind Code: 1693-0634-1082 Name: Joey I also have Mario Kart 7, Animal Crossing: New Leaf, Pokemon Y and Kid Icarus: Uprising PM me to add me.

The Legendary TNT Posted January 4, 2013 Share Posted January 4, 2013 Well if it does go down, I will probably be a weepy mess. BIONICLE.com was one of the first websites I ever went on, period. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
