Then I don't think he's banned.

It's possible for someone to be banned without it appearing on a post.

Yes. I believe Kalphiter is NOT banned.

Ephialtes: I know its "iconic" and has history, but lets face it - the number of people who actually used to play pre-retail is declining pretty fast (in relation to the number of people who didn't) so the history and meaning behind RTB is lost to them. The name Blockland Cloud, or just Cloud for short - makes it sound more official too and perhaps something Badspot would be more inclined to endorse. I also think the history behind the name is pretty irrelevant given how extremely the focus of RTB has shifted between v1 and v2.

Meh, I like RTB for the name. I like that it has history, especially since we have references online to "RTB" going back like 4 or 5 years, so people will be more likely to find the new versions of BL through those if they google "RTB". Plus I think the name still applies right. "RTB Cloud" for the cloud services would make sense IMO. The RTB "brand" has strength and momentum behind it. Everyone that's been plang BL forever knows what it is anyway.

That's my point - the number of veteran players is decreasing as more and more drop off the internet and more new players join Blockland. They won't have any idea what RTB or "Return To Blockland" means and a quick google search will return a bunch of youtube videos of Blockland Alpha which is sure to confuse (and already does to a massive extent). Our links to the RTB site can still be maintained by just redirecting them to Cloud or to the BL site itself. Essentially the "RTB Brand" is getting weaker given that even less people remember it from "back in the day". Of course I'd probably like to keep the name RTB too because it'll be such a monumental process of changing all the code and logos and references everywhere but I just think the name doesn't fit or describe the purpose, and is even a bit confusing - and I expect this will be lowering the interest in it from new people. I setup a new poll so feel free to vote.
