| Are the Blockland Forums in limbo right now? |

| Drydess:
i mean i wouldn't necessarily call it limbo because there's a lot going on, but otherwise things honestly seem pretty unusually normal for the current situation off topic a bit but since when were you a regular here? do you just lurk a lot or did you just look at the wrong time |

I mean, I'm certain that there isn't a limit to that, is there? Instead of the apocalypse, take this as a once-in-a-lifetime moment where a good guy's secret identity is discovered (Elektrk as "Ad Bøt") and prosecuted while a couple bad guys take that as a sign that the heat is away from them, and get caught red-handed. Speaking of which moment, these have happened multiple times in the form of 'purges.' That makes them not really 'once,' but it is fascinating when it happens. Sometimes during these purges the wrong man at the wrong place is hit. This is surely not the only example but I'll use myself as an example, as I was unintentionally the last part of the "King of X" chainban. I didn't like being banned, but I didn't run around screaming with a sandwich ad writing "THE END IS NIGH" and addressed the issue civilly with the rest after I could post again. --- End quote --- Is stuffposting with a novelty account really something a "good guy" would do? No wrong man was hit, it was methodically calculated. Electrk's fate was sealed the moment he created that ad bot forum account. Everything is beginning to fall in place with toxicology getting perma'd again. He is like a martyr now and he's going to rally his underlings to stir up more stuff. This is a much different situation from your regular chain ban and we're all going to feel the arm soon. --- Quote from: Drydess on August 31, 2017, 10:31:17 PM ---i mean i wouldn't necessarily call it limbo because there's a lot going on, but otherwise things honestly seem pretty unusually normal for the current situation off topic a bit but since when were you a regular here? do you just lurk a lot or did you just look at the wrong time --- End quote --- I've been lurking since I bought BL but I joined the party a bit late (see the difference in my ID and date I registered here), I've been more actively posting recently I guess but these events have captured my attention enough to speak out about it. |

its sad because you make it seem like there's some giant hurricane of bans heading toward you meanwhile badspot is literally continuing along with his life the same as any other day and nothing has changed since |

I legitimately don't know if OP is trolling or actually freaking out especially with lines like this --- Quote from: Brikichu on August 31, 2017, 10:00:13 PM ---We're on the verge of a new age and whether it's a golden age or a nightmare realm of suffering, we'll never know until it's too late. --- End quote --- dude. chill. don't follow in the footsteps of the handicaps and you wont get banned. not hard. |

I've done no wrong so I'm not worried about getting banned, I'm worried about the fate of Blockland in general. Badspot's said that ads are barely keeping the forums above water and that its benefit towards blockland sales has more or less diminished. What is going to keep him from saying forget it and kicking us all to the curb if he isn't profiting and his community is constantly taking the piss out of him? Am I wrong for being worried about how these events are unfolding? I'll admit the allusions to an apocalypse may be unnecessary but that's how it'll feel for a lot of people if something actually happens from all of this. |
