This is a surprise, to be sure, but a welcome one.
I am TIE-PILOT, former user of the LMBs. I found this place by searching for an archive of the old LMBs. I was delighted to find that the entire board is faithfully emulated here, so here I am. This is simply incredible, and I would like to thank the administrators and moderators for making this possible.
Some details about me from the LMB Wiki: I joined the LMBs on October 31, 2006, made 3,925 posts, received 2,819 likes, and reached Forestman (Rank 11). I also had 481 posts on the Old LMBs, which gave me the MasterBuilder of Olde badge. It also recognizes that I made a webpage for the Bionicle Appreciation Club (which, despite never really being used, is still online), and lists some aliases for roleplay I cannot remember engaging in.
Elsewhere, it claims that I was the most-liked user on the Hero Factory forum, with over 1,941 likes received, before the forum was deleted. It is definitely my favorite LEGO theme of all time: I own more-or-less every set in the series except for an Invasion From Below polybag and the HRT-exclusive black/silver chestplate. I had a fanfiction on the main forum, The Paradox, which got some attention, but I never finished it. It was deleted with the rest of the inactive content there. With no backups of the story, it is all but lost to time, since I only vaguely remember parts of it myself.
My best memories of the LMBs stem from the Hero Factory Conspiracy Blog, a roleplay consisting of whistleblowers attempting to bring the misdeeds and corruption behind Hero Factory to light, and explaining how the villains of the series were all framed for crimes they didn't commit. I know I read and posted on other forums on a semi-regular basis, but nothing specific comes to mind aside from BIONICLE, and rare posts on Marvel/DC stuff. I think I read the Parents' Cafe a lot, for some reason? I was also somewhat active on Chima when it was around, which means I had the terrible luck to be a Hero Factory and Chima fan when both were at war with BIONICLE and Ninjago fans, respectively. I always thought the fights were a bit silly, but I got caught up in my share of flame wars nonetheless.
That's about it. I don't know how active I'll be here, seeing as Hero Factory is no more, but I certainly love what this community has done. If this is the last post I ever make on a forum like this, then I will be happy to have made it.
{JAMMERS! One Last Thing!} I just wanted to try using a jammer for nostalgia's sake. But while we're at it... If there is any confusion about the matter, I am a woman. Prior indications to the contrary were made in error.

I recognize your username - not sure if we ever interacted, though. Glad to see you enjoy our forum, and welcome!

You are one of the few names I recall from the old boards, since you were among the most active users there. (and still are, evidently!) But no, we never had any major interactions that I can remember.

I had my little top posters list, and you were one of the users on it, which is probably why I remember. Apparently you were around 638th all time? Fun fact But yes, believe it or not I only joined here during 2020 COVID quarantine, activity here had decreased significantly by then and I find it pretty easy and fun to keep up with. I like to think we embody all the best parts of the old boards here.
Explains the inactivity, then. They're probably busy in college or at work or just generally "adulting"
Are you not?
No it's just not super overwhelming for me at the moment. Just sort of whelming. I'm trying my hand at some online work, saving to maybe go to college for a business degree.

As a grad student, I take all the procrastination I can get
