Author Topic: Why are you here?  (Read 2135 times)

Bought that game, then discovered about the forums a few months later. Decided to join to try to get help with add-on making and stuff. Sadly, I had just missed the v8 forums.

learned about Gmod while looking at Halo videos
dunno how
just happened I guess
then sometime while I was looking around at mods on garrysmod.org there was an ad for Blockland
somewhere in all this I did play Roblox but I never heard of it from there

My best friend introduced me to the game, and once I bought it in early September of 2008, we played endlessly together at sleep overs, and I got better at building over time...I'm now mainly active just on the forums. For some reason I don't play blockland itself too much anymore, not sure why.

Played roblox before then looked for some more games like it and found Blockland.

I was over at one of my friend's house a few years ago, and his older brother was playing it. He let my sister and I mess around on singleplayer for a bit.

We went home a few hours later, and my sister downloaded the demo. We both played demo on her computer for a while, and then our dad let us buy the game. My sis and I took turns playing it on her computer for a few months, and then I decided to buy the game in the early 10K's. It was rather frustrating because at the time, there were a few '4-DIGIT ID ONLY!' servers. I didn't like playing on servers by myself, so I joined every server my sister joined. One of these was a '4-digit ID only' server, and as a result, I was banned.

My sister and I joined the forums a few months later. My sister was permanently banned a few weeks after joining, and I was banned for a while a week or so after my sister. I came back after a few months, a bit more mature than I was when I first joined, but I quickly became frustrated with the community and left again.

I decided to look around a bit around the time Ephi and Kalphiter were 'arguing' about Blockland Cloud. I was off-and-on for a while after I got into an argument with Previous, and after that off-and-on period I gradually became an active member on the forums, gradually getting more mature as I understood the rules and community better.

Such a boring history, lol

Played Roblox.

All the "cool" people left.

Saw a Blockland ad.

Loved the demo.

Begged mom for $20.

Been playing since v13.

Never looked back.

It’s one of life’s great mysteries isn’t it? Why are we here? I mean, are we the product of some cosmic coincidence, or is there really a God watching everything? You know, with a plan for us and stuff...

I don’t know, man, but it keeps me up at night...

So forum, tell us how did you end up on this forum for a virtual lego game full of teenagers.

Well my story is that I found an ad for BL on the internet. I tried it out and bought a key eventually. This was like 2008/2009. I was lurking around the forums downloading add ons and decided I would join the community
Exactly this. since end of V10
