Off Topic / Re: blockland: the community that killed the game

« on: August 27, 2023, 04:11:52 PM »

it is interesting to see how much of an impact these forums had especially in a pretty critical period of development (pretty much all of middle school for me). looking back, exposure to all the toxic garbage being spewed on here really was not normal. hard to be surprised considering the complete lack of moderation and acceptance/glorification of badspot's laziness and apathy for this community. harassment and abuse was pretty much entertainment for people as we all just accepted it as "it is what it is" pretty much. my hope is that most people who were avid members here for a while were not heavily effected by their experiences on here. i sometimes wonder if engaging on these forums has ever been a detriment to my development in any way, i hope not but i could definitely see that being the case for some

People being sad that this game and it's forum are practically dead by this point, meanwhile i was the only one who was really trying to make an effort to prevent things from going this way by reporting and getting others to report those who were actually causing problems in this community

The game getting less and less frequent updates was one thing, but the so called "toxic community", as i've heard from friends, acquaintances, and strangers across the internet, is what really killed this game, because no one wanted to deal with that, no one wanted to associate with that, so they left, and i saw this outcome A DECADE AGO

idk about this man, this forum was alive because of the toxicity, drama, etc. it was more entertaining that way. i feel like it died because a lot of those folks have left or became inactive and now theres not much stuff going on here.

dont get me wrong the toxic community is a problem in itself, but there's no doubt it contributed heavily to the activity here. people lived for stuff like never-ending drama posts, constant stuffposting, watching banned accounts keep coming back, etc. it might have drove some people away, but it kept a lot of others active as well.

Woah, congrats! It’s crazy where a little forum like ours created so many experiences and connections that we never really knew the gravity of. At least not until later down the line. Crazy to see stuff like this and heartwarming genuinely. Best to y’all moving onward!
