My request is to still let me beta test because last time I did it came with very good results. :3
But seriously, you could have blockland bulletin integration?

Again, the Mac version won't be made till porting to Mac is more secure and DLL alternatives for certain functions exist, which at this stage they don't.

Yep its GML based however to port to Mac you have to roll back to a version 7 project (currently GM is 8) which requires you to repair the graphics (version 7 doesn't support PNG transparency) and change some scripts because certain functions were rephrased in version 8. Then we have decompiling issues which haven't been addressed for the Mac version, which pose a security risk for AB Mac. On top of that AB uses a few Windows dependent DLLs and there are no alternatives for this in Mac OSX at this stage, so there would be noticeable feature holes compared to the Windows edition.
I WILL make a Mac version, just when the time is right. Its not gonna happen overnight.
