Off Topic / Re: blockland: the community that killed the game
« on: October 19, 2023, 06:18:20 AM »
I have to agree that blockland is dead, however we did not kill it. Sure us, as a community, yeah we killed it; but no individual killed blockland. Blockland died like any other old net 2.0 website died, we don't come back here anymore. I really want forums to still exist as a thing in our current Internet age but somehow they just seem to be small and insignificant. And I feel like the fact that any of you are paying attention to this post is because of how much this loving forum meant to us, at least those who have been around for a while.
Really, I don't ever pay attention to blf anymore, yeah this forum, and a good chunk of you guys are my childhood. But I don't know any of you. Both my youth and y'all's attitude is the reason why. The first time I played blockland it was the blockland demo, I didn't even know the forums existed. It was just a fun Lego brick game. But after I bought into Blockland retail sometime around V9 I hopped on the forums as a guest. This place was a loving cesspool.
Even after I finally signed up for an account I barely talked, I still barely talk to this day. The first lesson I learned was that newbies get smashed into the ground. Any person saying "Hi, hey I'm new here." Were ridiculed off the site. In my mind at the time there were no new people, there was just the Old Guard. Anything I could or would say on this forum would be considered Maximum Cringe.™️
And thus I only posted stuff infrequently. Trying to satisfy myself with just lurking for 90% of the time I engaged myself with the form. I spent a huge chunk of my life actively browsing and reading every single thread on this forum for almost a decade before I gave up. I like some of you guys, and I know a chunk of you guys, but I don't understand any of you guys. I never felt welcome here.
So max props to all of you guys who felt like you belonged here because, maybe you did. Even as the furry community seem to kind of flourish on here, it just felt like a thing I could only observe.
I don't know man, I didn't say stuff on this forum because I feared you. And yet my few posts that I have on this form are just absolute 13-year-old cringe.
As much as I try to have nostalgia for 2010 blf, every time I look back on it I wasn't happy. I did truly want to be part of this forum, but every time I tried to think of something to say I was deathly afraid of looking like an idiot. Because the worst thing you could be on the forum, from what you guys had told me for years, was to be a handicap.
So, if any of you guys want to talk to me as an actual proper adult; you can hit me up. No, not in the pms here on the blf I haven't been on here since July. But I also don't trust you idiots enough to post a Discord link in the raw this forum. So my steam ID is jac802 (I know it's incredibly original)
But yea, in all honesty you guys turned an already pretty introverted kid into somebody who takes years to form personal connections with people, without even having to do anything other than being toxic af. Good job team
