I have added in all the contributors to the BioMedia Project forum as listed on the credits page that I could find as registered members of the site to the Contributor forum usergroup.  If you have contributed content to us that we have used and you have proof(correspondence, screenshots, etc), and I have not added you to the usergroup yet, then contact me on the forum and I will add you to the group.

We’re happy to announce that our forums are now ready!  We have been working on the forums since May.  Here are the things you’ll need to know to start using the forum:

• JMMB has transferred our existing user account base into the forum for us.  You’ll have to logout and back in to the BioMedia Project site before you’ll be able to login to the forum.
• If you are a new member to the site, you’ll have to make an account on the site, upon which your account will be added to the forums.

Changelog:

2.2.6:

• Added Journey’s End.

2.2.5:

• Added versions of The Rising and The Truth with the pictures.
• Added Saga Folder organization.

Check out the videos page  to see our updated streaming video selection.  2007-2010 videos have been split up into playlists by year, Character videos have been split up into playlists by folder, streaming video and game trailers have been updated, and more descriptive titles have been added.

I’d like to take a moment to reiterate the purposes of our upcoming forum.

1. To provide an extended place of discussion of BIONICLE media.

2. To provide a place of discussion for BIONICLE when BZPower is offline.

3. To provide a place of discussion of BIONICLE with rules that we find agreeable.

We consider the upcoming forum to be an important part of our website, not something we added simply to say we have it.

We’ve installed our new streaming music player, check out the music page to use it.  It will pop up in a small window, and it stays on the page, audio still playing as you browse the site.   The repeat and shuffle buttons repeat and shuffle the playlist.  It’s not Youtube, but I challenge you to find a site that has more streaming BIONICLE music in one place.
