The modding community is still alive and active if you're interested in checking out more models or finished add-ons that people have made
Don't expect any major, or even frequent updates for Blockland, unless there's something that absolutely needs to be fixed, development is pretty much done
Also, if you've noticed that the forums look a bit different since you last saw it, it was because of a major exploit in the forum system, so Badspot had to shut the forums down for a few days to upgrade it to a newer version of the forum engine
