 BZPower was the result of months of planning between the two largest unofficial Bionicle sites on the web and the four key players involved in both.  '''Kanohi Power''' was a Bionicle news site founded by Mike Edwards {{ghost|double-check last name}}, and '''BZCommunity''' was a Bionicle discussion forum founded by [[Jon Reddick]].  Both [[Kelly McKiernan]] and [[Rich Manzo]] were administrators & staff members on both sites.  Furthermore, by early 2002 the two had started working in a very interconnected manner as sister sites.  Stories posted on ''Kanohi Power'' direct linked to discussion thread on ''BZCommunity'' about the topic, and the two sites featured prominent links to the other on the top right of each page.

 Prior to the creation of BZPower.com, Jon was the founder and Administrator of BZCommunity.com while Rich and Kelly also served administrative roles. Over at Kanohi-Power.com, Mike was the founder, while Rich and Kelly were staff members. Somewhere around May 2002 we decided that since all four administrators work together so well, we should combine our sites and work together to bring one giant Bionicle news, reference, and discussion site to the Bionicle fan base. Two months later that decision led to the creation of BZPower.com, the largest unofficial Bionicle site on the web.
 The site and its forum aims to be appropriate for children ages eight and above, shown by its strict moderation policies regarding content, including punishment for the use of vulgarities. One of BZPower's claims to fame is the member's easy access to the Bionicle comic and book writer, Greg Farshtey, who is a member on BZPower, and regularly answers questions sent to him by fans, much like the no-longer running "Ask Greg" feature in the Kanoka Club on Bionicle.com.  These queries and their answers can be found in the expansive pinned Official Greg Discussion topic in the General Discussion sub-forum.
