could you walk up to someone and shoot them in the stomach and while they're writhing around dying, say "HAHAHAH IT WAS A JOKE I TAKE IT BACK"?

if they honestly think that that's funny, they should get the forget out. if they were joking kalphiter why did they have another few add-ons in the page? oh, to make it more realistic? well, that's another few creators you're gonna piss off.

good job guys

I think he only owns the rights to stuff you make in-game (as in, models and builds) or possibly stuff that you publish on the forums. Besides, it's illegal (as in, it doesn't have any effect) to give away your copyrights on something in certain countries, like Sweden for example.
Also, copyright is completely automatic and you DON'T have to do something yourself. Also, AFAIK, it defaults to ARR (All Rights Reserved).

To my knowledge, all add-ons are under the GNU license, which means that they don't really have a sole copyright holder but it's still illegal to sell it.

Nope.
First of all, I've never ever even saw a blockland add-on under a specific license, except for RTB (which is under the CC-BY-NC-ND UK 2.0 license).
Secondly, it IS legal to sell GPL-licensed stuff, even without permission from the copyright holder, as long as you distribute the source code too (which is not a concern for interpreted languages like TS). That is even officially encouraged by GNU.

MegaScientifical:
He wouldn't stop pestering me over MSN for Jookia's scripts he gave me years ago, which I never touch. Then he stuffs them in there after I give them to him to quiet him? They didn't even work right, or something.

Chrono:
Good marketing plan!

That would be the only way to get DRPG after all.

Something that lots of people love yet how broken and flawed it is.
