I've heard people mention TBM, but what exactly is it?
People say it was a mod for the old RTB, but they also complain that it was awful and completely horrible, but I don't really get what made it different from any other RTB mod. Then again, I wasn't around for it so I really can't say anything about it...

a v0002 mod that got mad because another mod used its code without permission then people got all mad now people think it's bad
essentially

it was pretty cool though imo

edit:

Stands for "The Better Mod".

The Mac of the Blockland games;

Originally a 2005 modification of Vanilla Blockland, the original BL which was released in late 2004. The devs were 'hackers' who made a script that would delete AiO content if they were in the same directory.

TBM was always kind of dead but most of it's original community thinned out by 2006 and after a while, some thieving rats stole everything and repackaged it as TOB. This new 'community' was pretty dead while the people on RTB had better success until around 2010 when TOB took the lead

They're still pathetic and TMB6 (Freebuild) will never get anywhere.

The Better Mod.

Basically, a community of completely elitist asshats

TBM was one of the mods that people used to play before the retail was released. First was Blockland Mods 1.6, then All-In-One and RTB. It's a little simplified to say they were in that order since they all existed about at the same time, at one point. TBM was actually a good mod for the day, but Badspot didn't agree with some of their developers' ethics (exploit to inject code into someone's Blockland directory.) In the end, after Badspot posted on the main site warning players not to use the mod, they split into their own community for a little while. As far as I know it's low activity, if any, now as it has been awhile since all of this happened.
