This is a description from a topic on the LEGO Message Boards. Do not modify it.
1. What inspired you to start posting on the LMBs? I didn't know much about the LEGO Messageboards until the LEGO Universe haiku contest. After I posted my first entry, I started looking around and becoming interested, and within a few weeks started posting off and on. I think the contest was a great way to let people know about the Messageboards. 2. What do you think of the new LMBs? I think the new MBs are great improvement from the old ones. The color text and new emotes are great! It took a little while to figure out, but overall, I think they're great! 3. What could we do to improve them for you personally? Well, other than a few glitches that can be worked out quite easily, I feel that a way to follow users posts, and a Hero Factory story subforum would be nice. I also think that there should be some sort of tutorial, so that users who haven't been on these new boards can navigate easier. And one more little thing I would like, would to be a way to edit and repost your rejected posts. 4. What do you think of being one of the first users to reach Samurai Warrior, Knight, and now Highland Battler? Being one of the first people to reach all those ranks, was shocking! I never really expected it would happen with all the other great users on the boards. But it felt good too! It made me feel like I was accomplishing something while just having fun. 5. What kind of things do you post? I post pretty much everything I can think of, from themes against other themes, and fun stories, but my favorite is helping new users get around and have fun themselves. 6. What kind of posts are you likely to give “likes” to? I'll give likes to almost anything that makes me laugh or I agree with, I don't really care whether it's written with good grammar. As long as I agree with it, I like it. 7. Do you use the LEGO.com galleries? If so, which ones?No I don't normally use the LEGO.com galleries, I've posted once on the Hero Factory gallery, but they're rather hard to find and navigate. 8. If you could be any minifigure what would it be? I always liked the Battle Mech series 9 minifigure. It is so awesome! 9. What is your favourite LEGO set? My favorite set is probably the Hobbit "an unexpected journey" set because it is so well done being based off of the Hobbit Shire, and the minifgures have such nice detail. 10. What advice can you give to other users who admire your amazing accomplishments on the LMBs? My advice would be just to have fun! When a chance comes up I think it's always good to help people, new users or not, with any sort of advice they need on a LEGO set, or the MBs, but when that isn't happening, I think having fun is the most important, because that's what LEGO is here for! 11. What would you like the next poll to be? I would like the next poll to be one dealing with a favorite character of some sort, maybe a new Hero Factory poll, such as, "Who is your favorite hero?" And the choices could be Bulk, Breez, Nex, Stringer, or Stormer. |
