You know, a hilariously unexpected consequence of the whole discord thing lately may be a 2026 BZPower resurgence, as all the disparate discord servers the majority of the fandom use these days close down as people flee the platform and they go back to the old ways of forums instead.

*sigh*

I miss BZPower y'all.

Like, not for the naive teenage innocence and fandom drama we all had. Though it has an odd charm, looking back.

I just miss the fandom being united in one place, instead of fragmented over half a dozen social media sites and twice as many discords.

Nowadays 810 feels like the only time of year where the entire community comes together into one place. And it's magical each year, but also over again so quickly every time.

It's just ... whenever you wanna present some question or project to the fandom at large, you can either post it in Nteen places or you wait for August. And submitting to 810 feels so official and nerve-wracking, cause it puts so many eyes at you all at once. And the format doesn't work for some forms of media.

There is so much amazing fanwork being done that gets missed because people only post it on one or two sites. Back in the day you'd just make a topic on BZP and whoever was interested responded. And if something got big, everyone heard of it.

idk, maybe I'm just feeling nostalgic, but ... I miss it

im downloading some brickshelf accounts of old bionicle sprite comic makers I remember (the editorialist, matreid, pigbrick, dark709, etc)

i remember when some of these comics came out back in '04 and '05... I'm fuckin old y'all

One of the funnier things about BZP comics was just how many of them were self-inserts, so people would go “it’s a deep, moving, epic story” and you look and the main character is named like “Jallerfan455″.

Oh to be one of those little spinning Kanohi below people’s profiles on BZPower

Like, I know the BIONICLE fandom exists on Tumblr, so I can talk about it with people, but as far as I know none of you guys were on BZP in its heyday so I can’t do things like talk about that one fanfic in which Greg Farshtey fought Bill Gates because Gates wanted revenge on Greg for picking on him in high school without sounding like a crazy person.

Good times, good times
