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

« on: January 14, 2023, 04:58:00 PM »

Found this game back in around 2010 and only because I saw an ad on youtube about it while I was watching roblox music videos. Didn't really get on the forums for a year a two after I played the game, but hoo boy yeah honestly everyone's right, how did we let what happened here go on? I would bring up my memories to friends that didn't know about the forums as quirky stories and they would always go "that doesn't sound good, you guys just accepted it?" and i've been thinking about that for a while now. I wasn't the most active member around but from my point of view whenever someone was being tribal or loveist, they kinda just got away with it and we would just say "Yeah thats just how they are haha" while moving on. "Nigerian Cunts" and other slurs felt so common place here but fortunately I didn't say many of them (from what I can recall atleast)
Despite everything though I still hold my memories of blockland highly as I met my best friend of 12 years now and counting, and made a very good handful of friends that I still talk to on a daily or weekly basis and I will be ever grateful for that. I hope that everyone that wasn't a groomer or something equally vile is doing good now, genuinely. I never knew about anyone's background so reading through this thread really opened my eyes at the people behind the posts. It does feel funny that we were all similar in our real life situations at the time, as I was also a really lonely 11 or 12 year old when joining the forums. I do miss the good times where I used to see a lot of people interact on the forums and always wanting to talk to some of them but was too shy to say anything lol.
It would be really interesting to have a video essay about the forums and the good and the bad the community was involved in, i've always wanted that since the sharp decline in the player base and forumer activity. Thank you guys for the good times. I hope this thread gets to other people in the community to hear their insight on their experiences and opinions on the forums and the game itself.

Off Topic / Forumers that are newsworthy

i was always wondering what kind of wacky stuff that forumers from here have done in the real world,
good or bad
so i can trace back to the BLF and say as trivia to my friends that go something like

"Yeah i know a guy that leaked the tf2 source code" - Maxx
"I know the person that made Big Chungus famous" - IkeTheGeneric
"I just learned the person behind KiwiFarms used to be on the forums" - iBan
if these are wrong or different people did these lmk but im just interested how the roots of this forum have spread around the world and affected it lmao
thanks guys love you hope youre doing well

being a part of the BLF will always be something that sticks to my very soul, you decide if that's a good or bad thing (its good to have memories probably) forums were fun to be in even though this was my only one i was involved in
