magick mage was really something man. I was a part of the AoB clan in which he was a senior member of. (one of the oldest building clans even back in the day)The leader, General Jake actually responded last time I brought AoB up but i missed his PM :(i miss all of them
Heya, I'm 3 Admin Server 3 (BL_ID 21009), I used to play alot back in the day especially in RP servers. I'm just going through a bit of a nostalgia trip and it's so weird/a bit emotional to see a load of people's usernames mentioned that I can recognise. I doubt many will remember me, but if there are those who do I would love to get back in touch. I cannot name many usernames but some I do remember: Bsc54/Annie (pretty sure they were the same person tbh), Matrix Dude, Undead Knight and Daniel S. Also if there are any people who knew Bladeboy, I'm still very close friends with him so hit me up if you wanted to talk.Love ya guys, it was something really special to be apart of this niché community. Maybe see you in another few years.
damn this thread made me emotional. i wonder how many homies i placed baseplates next to aren't with us anymore.
I've posted about the stats b4information from these two postsQuote from: Foxscotch on February 01, 2016, 04:09:35 PMit's closer to 100k at this point* but it's probably safe to say that well over half of them are bots. probably even more than that*uh, what. I guess maybe that 13k difference is deleted accounts?pretend edit: so it looks like 16385 members have at least one post. probably all of those are not bots, and it seems reasonable to me to say that someone who never posted was never really here in the first place, and therefore couldn't have lefteven at the peak of users online at one time (1608), that was only like 10%, and all the rest can be assumed to have left by the time that happenedthe average online per day is about 400, and that may be skewed by rare occurences of numbers like 1608, but even that is only around 2.5%so a lot of people have leftQuote from: Foxscotch on September 20, 2016, 08:00:52 AMthere are probably a good deal of players who have died but we just don't know because in the real world parents don't post on forums about the deaths of their kidsthe "crude death rate" for the world is apparently 7.89, and in the US specifically it's like 8.15 so it'd probably be fair to meet halfway and say about 8 of every thousand members has died per yearI don't have any way to reliably estimate how many users are genuine vs bots, but there are definitely at least a few thousand genuine users, soyeagives us a pretty reasonable estimate of like 131 forum users having diedmost of these would probably be no-name, <100 posts users, so it seems unlikely that anyone really well-known who disappeared actually died. but you never know

Oof. Was randomly thinking about BL yesterday. Looking at my past posts; wow I was so cringe. 13 year olds should not be allowed to use the internet.
