BIONICLEsector01, or BIONICLE Sector 01/BS01, is the parent site of this wiki. The website is presumed as the largest (non-wiki) storyline reference site of the BIONICLE universe, with detailed entries of all types. During 2004, the website was completely offline, upgrading to the one known as Bio Sector 01 during early 2005 under The LEGO Group's request. Most of this wiki's information came from this reference site. Note the actual name of the website is still BIONICLE Sector 01, but the URL is not.

History
BIONICLE Sector 01 was created as a simple site by Crystal Matrix in 2002, then known as Exo-Makuta. It was a very small site with nothing more about the Toa than their most basic descriptions.
Then Exo-Makuta changed his name to Crystal Matrix and created a newer version of the site, with a white and light blue interface, online news, and its own domain name. It quickly became a very popular BIONICLE reference site to many BIONICLE fans across the web. However, Crystal Matrix soon became very busy with his lifestyle, and it fell to lack of updates.
By 2004, Crystal Matrix made an even more updated version using Microsoft Frontpage with not just reference, but a more visually pleasing look, games software about BIONICLE. Yet Life struck again, and the site continued to suffer from a growing lack of updates.
Then came the realization that Microsoft Frontpage was not advanced enough and that hand-coding would be preferred, so Crystal Matrix, with the help of his friend Gornakle, designed a new site that used database access and featured staff (Swert, Twin Matrix, Pekel and Redeemed Sol). Unlike previous incarnations, this version was able to feature skins and it was partnered with BZPower, one of the best (and the largest) BIONICLE fan sites on the web. Once it launched on the July 24th, 2005, the BIONICLE fandom had the best reference site ever known.
Unfortunately, the BIONICLEsector01 Mainsite was lost in a tragic server crash, and has since been combined with the new BIONICLEsector01 Wiki.
Staff
Original Team of Staff
From Summer 2005 to February 4th, 2007, the staff team of BS01 was made up of the following individuals, each with their own unique positions.
- Crystal Matrix (formerly Exo-Makuta), Owner of BS01 (2002 - April 1st, 2006)
- Pekel, Content Manager (July 24th, 2005 - April 1st, 2006); Co-Owner (April 1st, 2006 - February 4th, 2007)
- Swert, Skin Manager (July 24th, 2005 - April 1st, 2006); Co-Owner (April 1st, 2006 - February 4th, 2007)
- Gorn, Lead Programmer (July 24th, 2005 - February 4th, 2007)
- redeemed sol, Editor of Reference Materials (July 24th, 2005 - February 4th, 2007)
- Twin Matrix, Editor of Reference Materials (July 24th, 2005 - February 4th, 2007)
- Wild Rahkshi Master, Programmer (July 24th, 2005 - February 4th, 2007)
On April 1st 2006, a notice was posted stating Crystal Matrix's retirement. Though initially thought as an April Fool's Day prank, it was discovered that the notice was pure truth and Pekel and Swert were promoted from Content Manager and Skin Manager to Co-Owners of BS01.
During the summer of 2006, a notice for new staff was posted and three new staff were chosen: Utopia: a then current Wiki Staff Member, Erebus: a large helper around the Wiki, and Dr. Bionicle, a staff member on BZPower. However, shortly after their appointment as staff, a large period of downtime occurred in which the original staff were disbanded, Pekel stepped down as Co-Owner and Swert was promoted to Owner of BS01.
New Team of Staff
On February 4th, 2007, a new team of BS01 staff was announced. As of 2008, however, the website will not be opened due to the popularity of the newer Wiki.
- Swert, Owner of BS01
- Utopia, Former General Manager [retired]
- Erebus
- Bioran23
- Darnzerf
- Toa Lhikan Hordika
Originally, three other members (who shall remain nameless) were chosen to be on the team. However, due to various reasons, two of the members in question had to pull out of the staff team and were then replaced by Darnzerf and Bioran23, while the third member remained unreplaced.
Advisers
Alongside the new staff team, four advisers were chosen by Swert to help him maintain order with the staff. The four advisers are:
- Dr. Bionicle
- Electric Turahk
- Pekel
- SPIRIT
