I absolutely agree LEGO is going downhill, but some of your points I don't agree with.

Bionicle was an old theme. Really old. Sure, it's not as old as the licensed Star Wars theme, but that's ot the point. I was never really into Bionicle, the figures reminded me too much of action figures and weren't LEGO-y, in my opinion. Yes, I know how popular it was, and I hold nothing against it, but it needed to be closed down. 9 years of robot-things (sorry if they were alien or something, I wasn't into the theme) must have been enough for LEGO. Plus, they had Hero Factory planned out anyways.

As for LEGO Universe, I slightly agree. LEGO Universe was a great game. I wasn't wanting a happy building game, I loved the dark toll on it. It was a lot of fun, and I knew it wasn't going to close long after they released the F2P version. Unfortunately, when LEGO shooed off NetDevil and took the reigns themselves, they couldn't keep the game running and they closed it. Just like that. They lost millions of their fans, and bumped down their reputation a bit.

The Bionicle forum needed to be moved to the Classics, it's a retired theme.

As for Chima, I could NOT agree more. When I first heard about it, I was like "meh, new Ninjago, who cares". Then they released the characters in trailers. I seriously was ready to put a gun to the face. When I saw the characters, they instantly reminded me of those fuzzy Webkin things or whatever they're called, in LEGO form. Then, to even get more like Webkin, they announced 3 games: Two offline, and an MMO. A freaking MMO. LEGO Webkin, yay! Not.

Well, there's my insanely long message.
