I don't understand how forgeted up this forum is. I mean, we even made that lolbot guy run away and take down the site he made for us that was up for maybe less than a month. Was it always like this?
The Blockbot site on everyboty.net was up for longer than a month.
And the reason it was taken down was due to it having a low rate of traffic.
Barely anything was posted on it, maybe 1-2 images a week, if that.
And few people visited it.
It wouldn't make sense for a person to pay money for a site that wasn't even being used.
The argument that occured between the two communities afterwards, however, was due to a number of reasons.
Partially, people believed that we had argued and caused the website to be taken down.
Then our community was accused of being ungrateful, despite never having asked for the website in the first place.
To continue, Sir Bottington, the owner of the everyboty site had a forum account upon here, and while he was generally fine in the fact that he rarely posted, when he did post, he annoyed other outspoken members of these forums.
Sir Bottington regularly used image-macros from his website, which is considered poor ettiquette on here, as you probably know.
He often made poor-jokes and wasn't serious about behaving on these forums.
And finally, he openly admitted to trolling upon these forums, resulting in him being banned from the forums as per the rules, which apply to everyone.
Unfortunately, a number of members of the everyboty community viewed the banning as a saddened attempt at getting back at Sir Bottington because he closed the website, despite it simply being due to the fact that he had broken one of the rules, and regardless of whether he hosted a fan-site for us out of his own good will or not, he's not given immunity against our forum rules.
Sir Bottington then replaced the Blockbot site with the following image.
http://blockbot.net/While it's unfortunate that the two communities had a less than pleasant break-up, it's not exactly negatively affecting on either of us.
The Everyboty affair was a problem caused between another person expecting to be better recieved for doing something he hadn't actually been asked to do.
While it was nice of him to do so, it wasn't exactly celebrated, and the site wasn't put to good use.
The large majority of images on there were jokes and antics from these forums, which aren't quite funny to anyone without the context of the entire topic or knowing individual members upon these forums.
Now, claiming that these forums are forgeted up in other ways however, is a bit overdramatic.
I've been using these forums for over 3 years now.
I've seen silly members, annoying members, entertaining members and more.
There have been topics on bizarre things, raids by other communities upon here, trolls, spammers and long-winded arguments between individual members of the forums.
These sort of things happen all the time.
And they're bound to occur between any community of people with diverse backgrounds who share but one similar quality, being their enjoyment or ownership of a single game.
Whether we're all children at school or adults in a workplace or we're a community in any other medium, there's going to be bickering.
If you only look at the silly fights and the immature posts/users, then of course you're going to develop a negative view.
But these forums consist of more than just that.
There are plenty of places where great qualities arise, whether it's discussing games, or talking about modding Blockland or sharing our creations or just having some silly fun in a forum game.
I personally think that if you can get so upset and despise the community of a forum so much, then you might need to take a little step back. You might have been on here for just a little too long without a break.
Either go do something else for a little bit, or stop going into topics about menial arguments.
You clearly don't despite it that much. If you truly had given up on these forums, then you wouldn't have bothered with making a topic about it. You'd have just stopped frequenting here.
