Also out of curiosity what kind of stuff was posted on BlockBot, I'm guessing it was mostly builds or cool gifs and screenshots and maybe stuff like that, but anything else.
I think there were some images of builds and things, but not really a lot. The community didn't have a major need for that, since we have the gallery for showing off our builds.
For the most part, it had screenshots of jokes made on the forums. More similar to the sort of things that Carolcat sometimes posts/accepts on her Blockland Forums Tumblr. Except, the jokes probably weren't of as high a quality as Carolcat accepts.
Really, the idea of blockbot was interesting, but when you get down to it, not really necessary. We were more than set up for hosting images of in-game Blockland stuff here (or rather, uploading to imgur/photobucket and sharing here), and the Forum Posts submitted were such inside-jokes that it was of absolutely no interest to users of lolbot who weren't Blocklanders.
So, Blockbot probably would've gone anyway had there not been the drama, as it didn't have a particularly high traffic.
Also whats an example of the level of quality of the flash games on Gamebot? I would really like to know because again curiosity.
I never really used it, because everyboty was not the best website for playing Flash Games at all. If you wanted flashgames you just went to Kongregate, or Miniclip or wherever.
Originally the page was made just so that Sir Bottington could share his mini-passion for making minigames.
He created two games of his own.
The first was a Tetris clone. Except, instead of the blocks that made up the Tetrominoes just being colored squares, each of them was the one of the mini-icons for one of the bots. And it looked horrible, because none of the images complimented each other, and some of the icons were just ripped from another image, like the Trolledbot site.
The second game was using the exact same squares, to draw in a geometric pad. I think it might have been intended that they interacted, but I'm not sure. Possibly in the style that The Powder Game has different elements that do different things when they touch.
The few other original games were of similar quality.
The rest were old flash games you probably played back in 2004 on every website under the sun.
But again about the website layout, looking back on the previous layouts it way more functionality and was laid the way an image board would be filled and they did have more content and boards back then than they do now, so I'm just going to go with the idea that maybe the owner running th place isn't really good at doing his job.
I wouldn't doubt it.
He was in crCIA-mode a couple of months ago, because Google stopped paying him ad-revenue on lolbot, because according to them, he wasn't producing any original content.
I don't know if he got around this or not.
I wouldn't be surprised if this change was intended to get around that.
