And I am not sure in what way you meant 'Kudos, gentlemen. Kudos'. Yes its
true that the folks here on Lugnet made the Bionicle people feel *so very*
unwanted and below the "true Lego fan" level that one person went and made
an amazingly popular and well put together message board for the bionicle
folks so they would not have to "clutter" up the precious .technic group.
And the funny this is, there is almost no flaming and almost no arguing on
BZcommunity like here on Lugnet. This truly amazes me that a bunch of kids
act more mature towards each other than a bunch of grown folks can. It just
still amazes me at the fact that "the friendliest place on the Internet."
just comletly killed and bashed one of the most popular Lego lines and its
fans so much they all left this site. Is this somehting to be proud of? But
the real shiner to me is you see more and more Bionicle parts being used by
more and more people in their MOCs, so the parts that were "just garbage"
and "are completly usless for real MOCs" and "are not good enough to keep in
my house" are popping up in more and more MOCs, i just get a kick outta
that. Bionicle is one of the most popular lines Lego has ever put out, and
has mode them a boatload of money, but yet that line and their fans were
just completly dumped on untill they left this site.
And maybe that ties into why LD is not really here anymore, they get jumped
on everytime they step in the door. This is not the way to treat people, LD
had done alot for us adult fan, but it just proves some people are just
never happy.
So yes ladies and gentlemen, Kudos, for chasing the Bionicle fans away, Kudos.
