BZ Power: Difference between revisions

* [[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.

** The site has also been down for most of spring and summer 2011. The old forums can still be accessed, but are in a read-only state.

** One of the most interesting was April Fools 2010, where it was apparent that the staff had split, and were fighting over who would take control of the forums. One of the Administrators was banned, and the discussion topic [[Crowning Moment of Awesome|turned into a roleplay thread as different subforums and groups of members announced their allegiance to one administrator or another.]] It could be pretty well compared to the War Of The Roses, but with raving fanboys instead of knights.

** It was made even better by the fact that after 2 days and nights of an intense forum-wide civil war, one of the admins put a stop to it with an amazing speech and turned the entire thread into a hippie-filled, sandbox-sitting, enemies-turned-friends singalong of Let it Be.

** [[Double Standard|Except when the mods do it,]] of course.

* [[Contest Winner Cameo]]: There have been lots of contests concerning minor aspects of canon, from designs for minor characters to weapon designs.

** Some members have become downright famous through their stories. At least one, member Lady Kopaka, is reworking her much acclaimed story, Glitch in the System, into an original novel with plans to publish it.

** Many members are well known in the community for their stories. Occasionally referred to as the "Library Demigods." When one such writer, Inferna Firesword, opened a thread for collections of her stories, it reached #2 on the Most Unique Member Posts list for the day. The only time a Library thread ever did so. Inferna was stunned.

* [[Fan Film]]: Two rather large movie endeavors making movies about various portions of Canon are currently deep in [[Development Hell]]. The original project, ''Quest of the Toa'', went through several phases of "existence"<ref>it began, slowed down, came back, disappeared for years, started again from scratch</ref>, but for now, it seemingly settled into another "no visible progress" state. The other, titled ''The Next Generation'', is only slowly crawling along. Neither's advancements can be tracked on BZP currently.

* [[First Post]]: Averted, the words "first to post" is actually filtered to say "Nobody cares about me. I need attention so I wanted to be annoying."
