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).

Just a little RTB update, I've been trucking along with the RTB Connect client and I've figured out a secure way of allowing users to register for a Connect account from in-game. 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.

Blockland Instant Messaging? You mean because the Mod Manager, Administration Panel, and extra features don't exist?

I like BrickBug. Maybe you can name the instant messenger that.

I vote Blockland connect, Poll?

Umm, you should be able to see whats changed in an addon when it updates, like Next to the update button or something is an option to update addons and check updates... Otherwise I have to search it up got to its page in the Mod Manager, and see if they updated the addon description, picture,etc.

Isn't there a change log when you update a mod?

Not on the "Mod has been updated" screen when starting Blockland/RTB.

I like the current name.

RTB is nice because it's what we're used to, but as Ephi stated it has its problems.

Blockland Connect is probably the most strait forward name.

Blockland Cloud while not being all that accurate or descriptive, is interesting.

I like cloud.
Kids love clouds.
