I frequently run into blocklanders all over the internet, it's honestly sometimes refreshing because most of the people that aren't incredibly forgeted up by this place seem to have grown tremendously from their experience here (for better or for worse)
I don't regret any of the time that I spent in this forum, learning how to speak english, learning how to program, learning the ways of the world and how horrible people can be. I feel like, in a way, it was good that I was smart enough to never get involved in any drama, private investigating, or other illegal stuff I saw going on here regularly. It was good that I could sit at a distance and learn from tons of other peoples mistakes and how forgeted up people can be in an unfiltered way that you can't see in real life most of the time. That's because if I saw this kind of stuff in real life, I would've had a way more forgeted up childhood. Whereas when it was in the computer, it "wasn't really real".
In a sense, this is probably me coping with the fact that was I saw was real and there are an immeasurable amount of people that got hurt from this site/game. The internet in recent years has become so intertwined with real life in a way that it never really was before so stuff like child abuse on the internet happening hits closer to home.
I don't regret spending time here, but I definitely wouldn't recommend it, or want anyone else to see the stuff we used to see here.
I don't think i'll ever understand the kind of neglect Badspot had on this community and how "hands-off" his approach was. But then again, I don't know his personal life or anything about him. There could be an infinite number of reasons why he didn't want to grow the game or create a better community. In a sense, I always wonder what Blockland could've been if things where done differently.
Anyways, this post was just me rambling about my own (more positive than negative) experience with this site. I honestly hope anyone who's suffered any kind of abuse and grooming from this community gets the help they need and can live a happy life free of the emotional scars of this website. People always say "haha its cyberbullying just close your eyes it isnt real" but don't understand how bad some interactions can be on the internet. Especially when you are an already lonely kid with no real life friends (like most of us at the time).
I'll always have a space for this community in my brain, for remembering the good times and the bad. Ya'll have marked me forever.

Ike was watching Looney toons on YouTube and he took the exact screenshot of big chungus and posted it in the clique group all the time and it became an inside joke for us. at the time we just called it Fat Bugs Bunny. he also posted it on /x/ and it became an /x/ meme for a while before turning into Big chungus

« on: November 19, 2022, 03:04:29 PM »i may not speak for everyone here but as a result of this change (which is caused by your mind literally growing), your sense of child-like wonder kind of vanishes with it. i dont play video games nearly as much as i used to. if i do its 100% of the time a game i already played a long time ago. its like trying to chase that familiar child-like wonder again that you felt as a kid or a teenager because you cant get it naturally anymore. it started happening around your age too. so yeah, expect that to happen :Pthis only happens if you let it happen
i feel like "child-like wonder" becomes a muscle you have to flex and retrain after its beat out of you in school or work, it's possible to get it back though

a cool thing about GOES and other NOAA satellites is that they operate in full transparency
when I was in highschool, I used a modified driver for a TV tuning chip to capture these exact weather images from GOES and NOAA-18 with a homebrew antenna out of my backyard. it was a lot more fun to track and receive the images myself than just to look them up online imo

« on: September 28, 2022, 11:12:12 AM »copyright and trademark are vastly different, the trademark may be expired (and you are also correct that that wouldn't mean you can just use it), but none of the copyrights involved will expire until 70 years after badspot diesfoxscotch is right, i cant just up and start selling blockland binaries right now lol

« on: September 27, 2022, 07:30:31 AM »forums isnt worth stuffa full uncompiled codebase + all copyrights to blockland (to modify and distribute) then in might be worth it
full uncompiled codebase maybe
but theoretically better to just migrate to t3d and remake the game than try to fix the hellscape that is old tge
