YMMV / BZPower

• Broken Base:
  • Within days of every BIONICLE announcement by LEGO, half a dozen topics complaining about it would appear. Thankfully, most BZPower members are fairly reasonable.
  • Hero Factory. Terrible line that killed LEGO's crown jewel, acceptable replacement to a good line, or perfect re-imagining of LEGO's constructible action figure concept that only someone who is annoyed about BIONICLE's end could ever dislike? Opinions of it are all over the place.
• Canon Fodder: Either Greg knows his subject material like the back of his hand, or his close connections with the fandom has helped him keep Canon Fodder to a bare minimum in BIONICLE Canon.
• Epileptic Trees: Has its own forum. Oddly enough, many of the more bizarre trees have been proven true (like the entire Matoran world being inside a giant robot)
• Fanon: Copious amounts.
• Harsher in Hindsight: The staff once pulled a prank that involved "deleting" two of the subforums. In February 2013, a hacker decided to delete the entire forum archive and all the backups.
• Memetic Mutation:
  • Secret Stomache Meassage [sic], just another spam topic which reached infamy when it became known as lesson #486 on how to get banned.
  • "Can't answer it." And, to a lesser extent, "Follow the story and find out." These are two of Greg Farshtey's favorite responses when asked questions about future BIONICLE storyline, quickly becoming the source of many Epileptic Trees as fans guessed what secret spoilers Farshtey could be hiding.
    • Taken up to eleven in one comedy where FregG would answer every question this way, even if it was something plainly obvious (e.g. "Is the sky blue?").
• More Popular Spin Off: By the 2020's with the decline in forum culture in general, many BZPower members have moved to the group's official Discord server for Bionicle discussion. Although the activity on the Discord is still pretty small compared to BZPower's heyday in the 2000's, its more than active enough to keep BZPower culture alive.
• Periphery Demographic: During its heyday, the majority of BZPower members are outside of the "8-16 years" found on the sides of BIONICLE canisters.
• Shipping: Despite BIONICLE being a No Hugging, No Kissing universe, there is plenty to go around.
• Ship-to-Ship Combat: Nowhere near as bad as, say Zutara vs. Kataang, but with so many characters and a high male to female ratio (roughly 5 males to 1 female with the main characters), there are bound to be scuffles. The most contested is probably VakamaXNokama vs. MatauXNokama.
