Slightly sensible post following:
In year <insert what year blockland was made in here> blockland was made.
(It was a crappy alpha version, i.e. Blockland0002)
Shortly after, people began to make mods for it, i think BLM was first, and AIO, and RTB and TBM. BLM was popular for a while, then it stopped being made and then it wasn't, simple. Same with AIO, so now most people were playing RTB and TBM, but then TBM put an exploit in their scripts to stop people taking things from TBM and putting it in other mods, after that was discovered, Badspot banned TBM from existence, and it's userbase dropped down to around 7. Everyone moved to RTB.
And that's about it. RTB became the most popular mods, BLM and AIO slowly died out, TBM is still trying to get back, with their own game, but failing. Then retail is released. That's about it.
