"Prior to the creation of BZPower.com, Jon was the founder and Administrator of BZCommunity.com while Rich and Kelly also served administrative roles. Over at Kanohi-Power.com, Mike was the founder, while Rich and Kelly were staff members. Somewhere around May 2002 we decided that since all four administrators work together so well, we should combine our sites and work together to bring one giant BIONICLE news, reference, and discussion site to the ''BIONICLE'' fan base. Two months later that decision led to the creation of BZPower.com, the largest unofficial BIONICLE site on the web."
BZPower is still{{when}} the largest ''BIONICLE'' fan site, having over 45,000 members, with its numbers growing daily. Fans can discuss anything from the sets themselves to the storyline. There are forums for [[Fan Art]], [[Fan Fiction]], [[RPG|RPGs]], and even Fan Games. Building contests are held on a roughly monthly basis with writing and art contests on a less frequent basis.
Of particular note is ''BIONICLE'' writer Greg Farshtey's close relationship with the site. Mr. Farshtey has an account on the site and used to answer any question members send his way (though some met an inevitable [[Shrug of God]]). He isn't active nowadays, though -- his private life and the passing of a new policy keep him from getting into contact with the fans.

* [[And Now for Something Completely Different]]: the forum Completely Off Topic
* [[Apocalypse How]]: In early 2009, a server error caused everything posted on BZPower posted from Sept. 2008 to March 2009 to vanish, and there was much angsting. The event has become known as the [[Fan Nickname|Great Dataclysm]], [[Punny Name|punning]] on the BIONICLE apocalypse, the Great Cataclysm.
