I know its a meme to "put another onto the list" but I think that it's really necessary to take a step back and look at BL as a whole and it's development. Realistically, and from what I'm seeing, Badspot doesn't care about the game anymore, save for moderating the forums and getting into political debates with 16 year olds (not a bad thing, just stating a fact). And the fact that he's stepping away from the game wouldn't bother me so much if he wouldn't just sit on it and let it die. I know that there's plenty of people that would love working on blockland through a development standpoint, instead of just modding it.
And just as Ephi stated, someday, these guys are gonna get tired of putting effort into the game than the guys who make it. We're losing players, not gaining much, servers are getting more dumbed down and infrequent, infighting constantly puts the community into a schism, and the game isn't even being developed anymore.
I think we all just need to take a breather and ask ourselves what the future is gonna hold for Blockland, and then figure out what we can do to help it.
