the forums really taught me how to have a sense of maturity, not just on the internet but in general. i tended to be quite on the immature brat side of the equation for quite a long while, and through trial and error over time, i learned how to act like an actual human being, with the forums being the braces to shift me towards there.
the forums also shaped me in how i have fun, because now i have you guys, a small community, that i can relate to that i love to play games with, including blockland itself. a lot of the time i play games online now, it's with people from this forum. i have my own discord with several people from within this community that i talk and have fun with, and i do frequent game nights and things just to have a bit of fun. hell, i even discovered that a real life friend of mine (gi of ma) had the game when i asked him about it wayyy back (elementary school maybe?) about it, and i ended up getting him back into the game, which im pretty glad about.
