Author Topic: When BL gets greenlit, what do you think the forums will be like?  (Read 3247 times)

You guys are acting like we are going to become huge once we get on steam. Steam isnt going to send a stuffton of people here its just another way to buy the game.  I doubt we are going to get much bigger unless blockland gets a Lets Play from someone famous and there may be a couple of boosts of players every once in a while from summer sales.
There is definitely some fame lent to a greenlit title simply for coming through the greenlight process. However you're absolutely right.

sorry for the crosspost but incredibly relevant
I'm not sure but I think you just flamed the entire forum.

7. Do not flame - If the entire point of your post is to tell someone what an idiot they are, don't bother. 

hahahahaha you're kidding right
Yes actually.

i could see the user count doubling within 1 year of being greenlit.

besides obvious promoting the game would receive, there is a HELL of a lot more word of mouth in the steam community then how we have previously been spreading this game around.

No, I called everyone out on their stuff. If that's flaming, so be it.

No, he's just telling it like it is. Sorry you're too sensitive.

It won't immediately get a lot more people, but over time I'm sure we'll get a lot more people than we ever would get without Steam.

honestly, it's hard for me not to agree with a lot of this.
This is the best online community I've ever been a part of, but at the same time Drama is allowed to be focused on way too much. I don't think there should be a Drama section, the only thing it really seems to do is give people another place to argue and get banned. But by now it's pretty much too late to get rid of it

How do you think I feel? BLF is one of five online communities I've ever considered myself an actual part of.


If the Yogscast did a lets play of Blockland, we'd all drown.

The best part of BL is how we all know each other, and I don't want it to go away. Perhaps we can use reddit.com/r/blockland after greenlight for all the familiar users.

If more people come to the forums, everyone needs to lower their standards. That's just the truth, we can't expect to have the strength to deal with stupid topics with the same rigor we do now

I'm probably going to cut back on the amount of time I spend on the forums when it happens, I'll only come back to post things and look at topics people send me.

wah wah wah wh3n ugly stupid seven yr olds gt onto my secrety supeur blockloenad foumrs i wil be so angre!!

should probably remove the drama section and the rules will be enforced more.

No. Lets do something else. A lot of us don't want to use reddit. How about the steam group?
