I want all my cringe childhood posts and dramas to be front-and-center before you even open the archive.

I could've died an hero amirite?You could've died in my arms with me giving you one last succulent kiss on the lips bb
that's ok, because nobody is looking to tyler66 on the blockland forum for approval. you can think whatever you wantYou're projecting if you believe other people come to this forum for approval.
Tyler66 got called a handicap or a cigarette once and thinks that's bullying I guess.You've completely missed the point and tone.
I talked about something I liked and got spammed with comics of me committing Self Delete and shoving guns up my ass, then I got groomed by different people and when I tried to report it nobody believed me until another user made dramas for those people.You talked about guns and I talked computer viruses- both of us got shamed for it because we were both children with unrestricted computer access on a forum full of 16 year olds. Put kids and teenagers in the same place anywhere online or in-person and you'll get identical results. This forum is not special.
Just because it's the funny haha internet lego forum doesn't mean you can't be traumatized at a young age like you could anywhere else, especially considering the type of actually toxic personalities that the funny internet lego forum was allowed to harborI do not believe this.
I'm honestly sick and tired of seeing this excuse used in serious situations
edgy.Realistically, Badspot could break even if he shut the place down or plastered the site with more ads for the small handful of people who still post here.
edit: Alright rather than being a richard: How would you (Anyone else inclined also respond) make these forums profitable?
Or more so why aren't they?
To anyone else reading this who's been in a similar situation to me: Don't underestimate how much this stuff ruins your brain. I'm 21 now and I've never been able to have any genuine, stable friendships until just this year because my already bad social skills were so thoroughly ruined by the internet. Go to therapy if you can, look up self-help resources for trauma survivors if you can't, and don't perpetuate the cycle of abuse.
seconding this as someone with the same diagnosis and while its from IRL stuff, a LOT of it can also be linked back to my time on the early internet :/Which predisposition do you have to have to let banter on an internet lego forum give you long lasting mental trauma?
Kenko does have an archive of the forums, but IIRC, it's not public anywhere because of all the damning evidence and people's cringey/edgy/angsty pasts that exist on hereI'd wager most users who were here that joined before they were adults said something stupid, angsty, or cringy they'd like to forget. So I don't see why Kenko would find that a good reason to keep it off the internet, as I doubt anyone who views anyone else's past really cares that much.
i think kenko has an archive, but dont know how up to date it is since the last time i heard of it was a few years agoAs far as I can tell only Add-Ons and saves are archived there.
blockland platinum is the real dealIt sure was, a long long time ago :^)
i've only ever managed to fully "join" three communities in my entire life, Blockland being #1, and the other two were not nearly to the same extent as this game.Holy stuff this, all of this. I'm not quite sure what it is about this game or this community that makes it stand out, but everywhere I have gone just doesn't hit the same as the Blockland community. This place really does feel like a home.
at one point i was spending every single day of my life in this game and on these forums, 24 hours a day, talking with Blockland friends ingame or on MSN Messenger.
my life completely fell apart not long after finding this game, and being home schooled at the time, this was the only place i had to socialize and feel "at home".
so for years afterward, Blockland would be where i literally and metaphorically called home, and for that i will always feel some sense of belonging here- even though the community i knew has moved on and i don't really have a place anymore.
logging into the game and joining a server feels like driving back to the old neighborhood where you grew up and feeling a melancholic nostalgia seeing new and old faces, new and old houses, new and old roads, feeling like you've moved on physically but never really left mentally.
