Shutup.

I like the idea of calling it "Blockland Connect". Its catchy, and it clearly explains what it is.
If your trying to make people understand it more, I don't think "Cloud" will do much help because it doesn't make since unless you know what cloud computing is.

I'm going to agree. It's simple, easy to say, and has a good acronym as Ephi said (BLC/DLC).

The original plan was to go to the forums to create your account.
The main issue was that another add-on would intercept your password as you registered and steal it - so now I've made the registration process generate a password for you and download it as an image. This is impossible for another add-on to intercept or read. Passwords will only be used when you want to login to RTB Connect from outside of Blockland - when connecting within Blockland all you need to send is your Blockland ID and Name.

Sorry to say, but I think I see two security flaws in this method.
1. If the image uploading is implemented in BL for the RTB gallery, then a bad apple add-on could upload that image elsewhere, allowing them to have access to that image.
2. Many blockland users fall under the gullible type. A server message could display the image containing the password, and the host could somehow trick the player into relieving what their password is.

I think it should be called the Blockland IM, because that's what it basically is.
