Get a better computer. Brick lag only happens on computers with bad graphics cards. The only reason you can still play BL anyways is because it's not that graphic or memory intensive anyways.
You have good intentions but are bringing it a little too far. Stick with the barebone basics and leave the rest for later.
Topics like "How to build effectively/efficiently" and "How to set up a minigame" is neutral enough. Avoid topics like "how to build like a pro" and "how to host a server" because all you're doing is imparting your own opinions onto someone else, lessening the creative capabilities of new players. Yes, there are some things in these topics that should be mentioned, but don't go overboard and begin to tell them what to do. Teachers don't give opinions to students, they just present facts and allow them to interpret them. Teachers that do aren't good teachers.

It's a sandbox game, and you can do anything. The ideas for Add-Ons are practically limitless. You can make it fun, or do nothing and get bored.
The game is what you make of it.

its a sandbox game. if you are bored you have only yourself to blame.

That's not true. You know as well as anyone how heavily this game relies on the community to operate. I mean, this whole discussion is mostly about the multiplayer aspect of the game. You can't blame someone for disliking the excess amount of poor quality servers these days.
Awdax:
But you can blame them for not making a server themselves. If it attracts people who don't play properly, and are idiots, make a Gallery topic with a password in there. That way people will read the whole post, get some insight on the game and build, then see the password and know exactly what they're doing when they join.
