Custom BIONICLE Wiki:Voting Center/Archive/Featured Users

This is a compilation of all the entries which have won the Featured User category over the years.

Well, it should be of little surprise to any of our regular contributors that the first Featured User of this all-new round of voting should be . Though not always uber-mature, to be frank (and he's still about a month older than I am, so I s'pose that says something about me as well), he's extremely devoted to this site, having created a few dozen pages and improved several more.

One of our most active users, the Man of J now has 5,000 edits to his name, a reflection of the amount of work that he's put into this community: one of the most recent examples of the help he's given us is his work at the recent categorization efforts. Thanks to him and several others who helped in the process, we have met the requirements for a Wikia Spotlight and become featured!

Jman is currently working on several projects, including the stop-motion works Journey's End, Bionics, and Seven Bloody Daggers, the Warzone Battle Royale story, his storyline (consisting of such works as Norik's Tale and Shadowplayer's Journey), as well as a comic series about this website in which is charmingly rendered as wearing a fez. All of these works (however incomplete) are worth checking out, so go take a look. And congratulate the Man on his main page appearance; let's just hope his ego doesn't inflate too much.

Considering that none of the remaining members of our jolly ol' cadre of administrators appear to have enough time on their hands to write a piece for the main page, I suppose it's up to me again. This time, the spot of featured user is being filled by none other than our resident Bond, arguably definitely one of the best and friendliest editors and writers on this site.

Chicken Bond, as he is called, or CB, or THE FEZ, or simply Bond, originally came to this wiki to help Toa Hydros, and eventually got more involved in wiki matters, later becoming promoted to administrator. He is now one of our most popular users--his user page is among the most visited on this site--and has gained a reputation for his curious combination of friendliness, mild insanity, and interest in fezzes. (Blame Doctor Who for the latter.)

His written works are varying but well-written: New Beginnings' and Evils Unbound in collaboration with Toa Hydros; the cooperative works Dark Realities and Broken Worlds, set in a dark parallel universe; and last but not least, his own original storyline, including Tales of Tervok, The Soldier's Tale, and Journeys of Darkness. All of these are recommended reads.

I guess I've just decided to do everything this week. In the limelight of Featured User this time, is the well-known. Originally joining with his friend Minish Link (formerly Golden Ignika) to create their storyline, the Xaterex Multiverse Storyline, having previously planned it out for presentation prior to joining the wiki, Varkanax quickly settled into the lifestyle and ways of the community. After slowly building up his experience on the wiki and getting hold of the ropes, he rose to prominence in the wiki's eye when he wrote his groundbreaking The Eternal Game. From there, he continued to contribute to the wiki and give critical votes and opinions in major matters across the wiki, and after seeing how efficient and well-meaning he was, it was decided he would be appointed one of the site's Administrators, and remains one of its most hard-working and active contributors. He is currently one of the most vocal users in the matter of re-focusing the wiki's attention on actually reading the numerous stories and tales scattered all over the site.

Renowned for his kindness, brilliant writing skills, and level-headed thinking, it is without a doubt that Varkanax deserves to be on the Main Page. As a writer, his written works are diverse and change style, but remain brilliant nonetheless. Among his most iconic works are The Eternal Game, Into the Darkness, and The Shadows Coil (which is currently our featured story above). All in all, Varkanax is one of our most hard-working, devoted, and best contributors, friendly and nice and always willing to lend a hand when he can. A true deserver of this title.

Well. It is definitely no surprise that former Bureaucrat, Administrator, Wiki Metru Global Moderator and staff member TheSlicer has made the Main Page. Through much hard work and utter devotion to this site that is absolutely inspirational, Slice has become one of the most prominent users in recent history, and one of the most recognized and respected "unofficial" site leaders. Though he has officially retired to embrace his life beyond this wiki, he still takes time to check up on this wiki and help out every now and then where assistance is required. I've truly found it a great honour to be both a colleague and friend of this great guy, and his work here has been absolutely revolutionary in the wiki's development. It would be totally unjust that even though he is retired, that he at least doesn't get recognition for his commitment and heavy involvement in wiki social events.

Whilst I won't marvel at his work in the same way I did on his departure blog, I will go onto to detail some of the works this guy has produced. TheSlicer is the main writer and mastermind of the ever-changing Gigas Magna Storyline and the stories included in it, which during its tenure underwent constant re-writes and plot alterations, and sadly remains incomplete at the time of Slice's retirement, with a possible whole storyline outline coming along the way. In-particular, his recent re-write of the The Fairon Chronicles stood out, and many of his masterpieces have struck and dazzled the wiki time and time again. A truly great user, brilliant friend, and a legendary writer whose talent will make him a great novel writer in years to come.

Another true winner of this title.

Well, it seems this time around our FU is ThatDevilGuy, also known as TDG, Our Resident Demon, and our Demon Admin! A user of almost three years, TDG still shows continueing devotion to this Wiki and its community. He is an excellent editor, he is one of the most suited users here on CBW for the job he has now.

He is friendly to all (except the vandals), and he has become one of my closest friends here on CBW. At the moment, he has deserted us gone on a small hiatus into the wilderness. Hopefully he won't get eaten by bears! Are there bears in Australia?

He is an fine weaver of tales here, his most recent work (I think) is a collaborative story withSM, The Dimension Eater. Check out some of his other works as well, such as The Darkness in Life, Sworn to Duty, and many more! As well, he is becoming quite an excelt MOCist, making non-custom designs look actually really good on his MOCs.

Well, that is all the time we have for this FU my friends. Return soon, and another may be crowned......

Well, to celebrate the fact I finally have a Windows 7 laptop, I've decided to do all of the Main Page this week. However, that is beside the point. This week's featured user is the well-known. An amazing author, brilliant MOCist, and kind user, Matoro1 has been editing since 2009 and shows no signs of stopping anytime soon. It's little wonder he won FU almost completely uncontested. Matoro1 deserves this on about six wikis, for his hard work, devotion, and MOCcing/writing skills.

Matoro1 regularly edits on Bionicle Reviews Wiki, Bionicle sets and creations wiki, and CBW, as well as many others. His amazing stories, which are often sadly underrated and yet definitely some of the best on this wiki, include iconic works such as End of the World, Ghosts of the Past, Shadow Heart, and many more. His current writing projects include the 2011 serials Whispers in the Dark and Frozen Calling.

And that's not all. Those amazing stories would be quite enough to cement him forever in CBW history, but M1 doesn't stop there. His extremely well-built MOCs, such as Tollubo, Eselox, Karabak, Mudro, Juulant, and many, many more, rival even his stories as masterpieces. His kindness, brilliant MOCcing and writing skills, and his intelligence make him truly worthy of this title.

Now, the great guy we have this week, is a person the whole wiki knows and respects. Amongst our most social and friendly users, earns the title this week due to his countless contributions to the wiki. His level-headed temperament with his honest opinion has been a key leading factor in the resolving of some of CBW's most intense arguments, debates, and affairs.

Committed to the wiki and his role as a B'crat to the letter, Jareroden97, otherwise referred to simply as J97, has gone out of his way to welcome others to the wiki in a friendly manner, and has become good friends with an uncounted number of wiki contributors, myself included. He is easily one of the most social and engaging chaps here on this site, and will always be held in high regard for his jolly and encouraging nature. He is not afraid to voice his opinion on matters, and his efforts to help the wiki out in its darkest hours deserves commending.

A talented MOCcist, as well as an increasingly skillful writer, J97's works are many and range far, and amongst his works including his ongoing short story Rising Shadows, the first installment in The Jareroden Saga, his deathly story contest The Championship of Death, and is also one of the three, permanent main writers working of the fairly successful Dark Realities Trilogy. He is also working on an upcoming story/series Dark Designs, which (knowing him) will most likely be outstanding. A legendary user and one of the friendliest people EVAH, Jareroden97 truly deserves this place on the Main Page.

Well, this might as well be Lio week, huh? This week's featured user is Liopluraforex Lioplrueudonfox  Liopleurodonferox, one of our most helpful members and a recently promoted rollback. Sorry about making fun of the name, but it is irresistible. Having only been on this wiki for around 4 months, Lio already has a stunning 3,000 edits to his name, and has had a large hand in cleaning up and improving pages of this wiki.

Lio has proven himself to be among this wiki's most committed members, and is one of the friendliest of the users as well. He has gone out of his way to help with the wikification drive, and has helped to add categories to nearly 200 pages (although a majority were his own. XD). Not only this, but Lio has also proven himself to be a great writer and a great friend to a number of people. As you can see, some of his work is showcased above.

And, of course, Lio has shown himself to be a great MOCist as well, and I can't help but advise you to feast your eyes upon Narcisca and the revised form of Shanohn, the Toa of Fire shown with some friends.

This young user's work should be recognized and commended by all. I have faith that this motivated member of our community will continue to make this wiki a better place, and that he will continue to keep up the good work with his great stories and great MOCs. This guy truly deserves this spot and the position of rollback (since he's among the few users that actually knows rollbacks exist, too). Continue with the excellent work, man!

This week, the user in the wiki spotlight is none other than our very own a veteran user who joined the wiki on April 21st, 2008. A veteran member of our community, Shadowmaster has been a key contributor in keeping the wiki tidy, clean, and organized, as well as a very vocal and supportive user when it comes to highly-important issues relevant to the wiki's overall activity. Recently, he was promoted from his rollback status to an administrator, and is also one of the trusted user who was elected onto the reformed Board of Trustees.

Since then, he has been trying even harder to help in the wikification drive, and has been particularly helpful with categorizing articles. With over 4,000 edits to his name (or username), Shadowmaster truly deserves a spot on Main Page as our current Featured User. SM's works are quite diverse as well, and he is the overall mastermind and puppeteer of the Shadowmaster Continuity, an ongoing storyline that revolves around the machinations of the dark and devious entity known as Shadowmaster.

Whilst he has committed to some written works, including Chaos Arena, Twisted Shadows, and The Kingdom's Secret, SM's current masterpiece is the upcoming downloadable game, BIONICLE: Collision, which is still in production. The wiki wishes him the very best of luck as he continues to develop it. To sum up, Shadowmaster is a hardworking, devoted, and highly active member of our community, characteristics which we value for winners of this place. Well Done, and keep up the good work!

is a worthy candidate of this position. It's about time his username made it to the main page. After one glorious year of his great contributions, he is finally honored for these deeds. Of everything he is composed of, he's greatest skill in his persistence when making MOCs. Countless times he's complained about how hard some designs are, but nevertheless he's completed them. He's even the arguable one of the best MOCists out there. In the world. In the universe.

Now Phyrrus has been one this wiki for over a year. Unfortunately, he left soon prior to this. We will still remember him. Leave a note on his talk page or final blog to convey your congratulations.

I'm only getting started. Phyrrus hasn't released many stories in his time, and if he did, they were removed, but he has released some great MOCs. He may not have 100's of thousands on CBW, but the ones the have, are just sheer jaw dropping! Phyrrus, his self-MOC, is one of my personal favorites here on the wiki. Of course, where would Phyrrus be with his dark counterpart? Both of these MOCs are just examples of Phyrrus' great MOC skills!

I haven't much more to say, but I will say this: "May the force be with you, WHETHER YOU LIKE IT OR NOT!"

. What a great user for this position this month. Echo has been a great contributor of CBW for longer than he's credited for. Echo's been editing in the shadows. And what great edits they were! In just over one year, Echo's rocked up over 2,000 edits. Not an easy feat when nearly every edit is a great contribution to CBW as community, and as a fan-base.

Echo's number one and probably most famous MOC would have to be Tahu (pictured) and his revamped team. Not only do these revamps show Echo's great MOC talent, they also are the stars of his ever-infamous Echoverse. The name in which is almost as outstanding as the depth in which Echo has gone to perfect his alternate storyline. Again, a more-than-basic-challenge Echo has completed with ease.

The stories Echo has come up with are stepping stone in the path of success. If you haven't read Echo's works, I highly recommend you do. I'll be finishing BIONICLE: Chronicles after I type this up and continuing on with Echo's alternate storyline.

All is all, Echo is a quite contributor with large skill under his belt. Well done, Echo! You've more than earned this title.

This week, we welcome a household name to the Main Page for Featured User. This time around,, creator of The Hydros Chronicles, has been chosen to stand in our spotlight. Though he is not the most frequent and most active of all our members, Toa Hydros (otherwise known as Scotttjt) has been an inspirational editor on this wiki. As the creator of several smash-hit BIONICLE series on YouTube, Toa Hydros began actively using CBW as a resource to record all his storyline on, and his work soon became recognized as some of the best quality pages on CBW, with a lot of his work being featured on the Main Page many times over.

Whilst he has set the bar for page quality, Toa Hydros has also done his part in drawing people to this wiki through the success of his stop-motion series. In fact, myself and were both drawn to this wiki by his productions, and many of his fans have signed up on CBW in the past. Though his primary focus is on his ongoing stop-motion series, Society of Guardains and Sands of Change, Toa Hydros has also committed himself to several writing projects. Among some of his notable works are The Hydros Chronicles: Mission of Memories, Bio-Tales, Shadow Fire and the ongoing collaboration story Evils Unbound. All of these stories are written with great amounts of skill and professionalism, and I'd recommend them to anyone willing to read them. To finally summarize, Toa Hydros is a fantastic contributor, who's work has had a profound impact on the quality and appearance of many articles here on CBW.

On the Main Page this week, we acknowledge a user who has received a positive reception amongst the community here. In fact, he was voted by quite a lot of editors to be the next Featured User. So we welcome to centre stage, and congratulate him for his achievements here on the wiki. One of the newer users who entered the community during mid 2010, BionicleKid quickly made himself at home amongst the writers and MOCcists who populate the website, though also made his name known to many on the site. Since then, he has extensively helped out with other users with tidying up the wiki, and his pleasant and friendly demeanor has earned him many friends here. With 2,542 edits to his name (as of January 2, 2012), BionicleKid has proven he is deserving of this title with the amount of time he has put into the wiki.

Though he nearly retired during the latter half of 2011, BionicleKid decided to stay and continue editing on this wiki, spending a lot of time reading the stories and fictions of other users. BionicleKid's stories and pages are limited for the time being, as he is currently rebooting his storyline, though the ones he has made are well known, particularly his character Niha. As for his written works, he is currently planning to make a series of short stories, the first installment being titled The Huntress. His stories will tie into Niha's role in Dark Origins. To conclude this analysis, BionicleKid is a hardworking and exceptionally friendly guy, who's efforts here will make him a remembered user in times to come.
