Hey everyone!

As many of you already know, a few months ago, I announced two major additions to Wall of History — the Waybonk Machine, an archive of restored BIONICLE.com backups, and Channel HFX, a Hero Factory story archive — to be released this upcoming 810NICLE Day. Additionally, the latest update to Wall of History itself, the Seventh Update, was to be released alongside these.

Progress on the Seventh Update has been coming along pretty fast recently, but not quite fast enough. And as 810NICLE Day has gotten closer and closer, I’ve considered what my options are. One was to make this another “spread out” update, like Artakha’s Update from 2021 — update the Wall of History site on 810NICLE Day, then gradually add the new content over the following weeks. The other option was to delay the update until October 8th (International 810NICLE Day), but release everything I’ve been working on all at once.

And this morning, while I was considering these options… I got into a horrible car wreck!

As a result, it’s very unlikely I will have the Seventh Update, the Waybonk Machine, or Channel HFX in what I would consider an acceptable release state by August 10th. As such, I’ve decided to delay these updates until October 8th, to ensure I have enough time to really make them shine.

Working on Wall of History has been quite a journey. When I created the first version of this site, I knew next to nothing about web design, servers… any of that stuff. But after four years of learning, the work I’m doing on Wall of History is finally starting to impress me. For four years, I’ve wondered if the Wall of History on my screen could match the Wall of History in my head — and now, it’s finally starting to. The Seventh Update will be the culmination of years of work, and the full realization of my vision for this project. I’m very excited for all of you to see it, and I hope you are too.

In the meantime, I’m inviting anyone who hasn’t yet to join the Wall of History Discord server. I recently launched Kopeke, a Discord bot of my own design, and a lot of people have been having fun playing his Quest for the Masks minigame. Hopefully that can tide y’all over while I get these updates done.

Thanks for reading!
