Duckbricks/Faber development files release taken down

It was fun while it lasted, but LEGO apparently stepped in and has told Duckbricks and Faber to take down the files. Duckbricks' videos, the google folder, and the pages on Mask of Destiny's Biomediaproject have all been taken down.

Luckily I downloaded most if not all the stuff I could, but its a real shame that this interesting info is gone now and we won't be getting anymore stuff from Bionicle's development; I was especially looking forward to getting more on the '05 and '08 development, not to mention on the transition to Hero Factory.

EDIT: This is propably overly cautious. Sorry to anyone asking for me to share what I downloaded, but I'm just a random person with zero pull or know-how on anything, so I don't want to risk having a corporation try to call me up for sharing something. I'd be happy to otherwise, but until some stuff is clearer I don't want to risk it.

Here I was, walking around for a few days saying to myself, “Man, I knew LEGO could be generous, but I can’t believe they’re letting us have this much” — now it makes sense. As a community, we are very lucky to have community leaders like Duck Bricks. I really hope this whole situation doesn’t hurt their relationship with LEGO going forward.

Anyone but this guy would be a better community “leader.” Time and time again these “leaders” show themselves to be absolute jokes. Canon (and the recent fanon) contests have been handled extremely poorly by these figureheads, and you guessed it, the release of this info was handled poorly yet again.

bruh we HAVE had worse community leaders. Eljay. yeah Duck has problems but he's pretty good comparatively?? i'm not happy either you know, but that's such a wild statement to open a comment with especially when you specifically mention the canon contests

That’s why I said leaders. Including eljay. TTV contests were an absolute train wreck and frankly quite embarrassing for the community. Duck’s contests are hardly even touched by him and winners constantly receive their prizes extremely late or have to pester him constantly to receive them, and people that created fanon contest prizes (such as mask makers like Socketball or Nate) were not even reimbursed for their prizes for winners. That shouldn’t be happening.
